January bonus #5: Sega Taikan Special 4K LaserDisc Rip
Added 2024-01-27 13:13:57 +0000 UTCAnother 4K LaserDisc rip, this time of the Sega Taiken Special disc that featured Galaxy Force front-and-center. It also included the same Out Run material that I have on something like three other VHS tapes. Recycling was big business in the ’80s, I guess.
Once again, this is another case of me doing something (posting an LD rip in 4K) just because I can. But I'm going to get a ton of mileage out of this material for future Segaiden videos, so having access to the source means that any time you spot this content cut into an episode, you can do the Leo Dicaprio pointing meme in real life.
Look forward to NES Works Gaiden Casio episode #1 next weekend!
Comments
The video quality is great here, fantastic transfer, but what always gets me when I go back to LaserDisc is just how good the sound quality is, and I'm convinced this is because the standards for sound recording in general were absurdly high in Japan back then. A lot of VHS tapes also have phenomenal sound, and then you get to LD and they have an incredible clarity. Hearing these Sega game sounds in this high quality is fantastic.
