I had some VCS footage a few years ago on a public access show I did in
Austin. Several games were able to work on video tape, but I also had a few
(Donkey Kong, for example), that did very bad things with the signal and
wouldn't work. If I were doing my reviews now, I'd probably just directly
grab footage from an emulator and feed that into my non-linear system.
BTW, you might have better luck with one of the new JVC SVHS VCRs that have
built-in TBCs, although I'm not sure if they timebase correct the incoming
signal or just from tape playback.
