Looking back, VHS does look bad. But only because we are now use to better video. VHS was about the best we had for home use at the time. It is nice to have lived long enough to do the comparison.

The paraphernalia for the VHS tapes were always gawdy, rewind machines with a silly outer shell...and yes I had a race car one.
