Try loading the same game from tape 4 times, hoping it will survive the wrinkle in the tape at 8 minutes this time. It could take half an hour to get hyper rally to work. Cotton swabs and alcohol at the ready to keep the tape heads clean. Still worth it.

I never exprienced that but it reminds me of VHS and cassette tapes. I wonder if it was like those. I really hated VHS. Lost so many movies to a VCR eating a tape..... Meh.

You didn't take care of your VCR. Because I've had VCR's and tapes, to this day. That are 20-30 years old. All working fine still. Even when in storage for 10 years. I peroidically check on my stuff. Putting in dirty or cheap tapes. Blockbuster rentals, $.99 blanks that are made of shit. Will ruin the loading mechanism.
