1394	Article	Benjanime	i remember the virtual boy and n64 being on display like it was yesterday. though at the time of going in to see both, my parents were already getting a few hints from the other customers about the virtual boy's eye strain/headache warnings, so my mom just let me check out the nintendo 64 instead when they had super mario 64 playing in a kiosk		Oct 08, 2014
2212	Article	EISXUOIS	I remember the Virtual Boy being a flop and Blockbuster had them for sale for like $30. I should've gotten one Doh! Great trip back to Blockbuster past!	Timewarp: Blockbuster Video 1996	Apr 11, 2015
2895	Article	ExhumeOurIdols	When I was younger, my mom used to take me there to Blockbuster when the store was still open and it was a much more fun experience just getting to see those movies. Sadly online took over, but thankfully, there is still a video store I recently went to that had tons of movies, especially on VHS. Just have to keep digging for the gold.

2902	Article	Vaporman87	@Exhume: At least some Mom and Pop stores are keeping the experience alive, at least to a certain extent.	Timewarp: Blockbuster Video 1996	Oct 14, 2015

1350	Article	Vaporman87	I can recall the hours upon hours I spent collecting the images for the VHS Covers section of the site from VHS Wasteland (with the owner's permission, mind you) and having to sort out the really gruesome images from those that could safely be viewed here. I purposefully left out the horror section because they were just so horrific, some of them. That is a testament to the effectiveness of the VHS cover. As you said, you had only a few ways to attract a customer outside of giant ad campaigns and being viewed on thousands of movie screens. The thing is, after so many times renting that eye-catching film with the great VHS cover and being sorely disappointed with the actual film, you start to catch on. But apparently that didn't stop others from making the same mistake, because the market was FLOODED with cheap direct to video movies for SO LONG! But I really feel like the VHS cover was an art form unto itself. A really great cover could be all the difference between losing your hat or scoring big.	The Lost Art of VHS Boxes	Oct 01, 2014
1352	Article	Hoju Koolander	Pretty unique selections here. So are these box art examples from Greek releases? Is that why I've never seen this wrap-around style of VHS art before? I feel like trips to the video store would have been even cooler if the back of the box wasn't just text and 2-3 small photos, but part of a complete mural.	The Lost Art of VHS Boxes	Oct 01, 2014
1353	Article	Vaporman87	Your right. The wrap around style is sweet. Not something you saw an awful lot of back in the day.	The Lost Art of VHS Boxes	Oct 01, 2014
