More Video Bancorp Baloney

 Back in April, I made a post talking about this weird, barely known VHS tape company called The Video Bancorp. If you don't remember all that, here, let me refresh your memory:

It was a company who specialized in content, both less than and exactly family friendly. The family friendly tapes being those crummy no-quality public domain cartoon tapes that were exactly like their, uh, competition, only not as well known as other public domain cartoon distributors' output (the infamous Amvest Video comes to my mind). 

Their logo, as you can see, also sucks, to put it bluntly. They clearly drew it in some paint program, and took a picture of it with a camera really close to the screen, although in their defense these were meant to play on CRTs so you wouldn't see the interface, at least depending on the overscan.

Anyway, what's new? Why are you posting about this thing again after seven months?

Well, I'll explain it to you. I have to introduce another distributor though. Meet Visa Video.

Visa Video was a Portuguese distributor who specialized in public domain cartoon content.. only they used Video Bancorp masters and dubbed over them in Portuguese. Some of the tapes contained the Math Refreshers and one even contained the very logo, at the end of the tape. This tells me that the original tape had that logo at the very end of the last cartoon, which this Visa Video distributor didn't bother getting rid of.

The logo is also long too, clocking in at about 20-25 seconds. And it is indeed dead silent. It also obviously didn't have that weird watermark at the top left. Other than that and the fact the whole dubbing wasn't very good, there wasn't anything too interesting about this distributor.

And that's about it. The Buckwheat64 blog thanks you for reading my post.
