If you liked to quality on tape, you'll blow your mind if you see the
LaserDisc versions.  Played on a top notch monitor or projector, you'll
see textures and subtleties that are not apparent on tape due to the
restricted bandwidth, especially of the chroma channels.

Be warned, the picture is so good that many of the SPFX are patently
obvious, but that's part of the fun!
