This seller's account is pratically an S-VHS library:
https://jp.mercari.com/user/profile/637152777

I like how Mercari keeping sold out item displayed, helpful for knowing if something DID exist.

Most of titles in formentioned link are already known, but he is the reason we can add SILENT MOBIOUS to known release list. :)

I know that there are copies of Top Gun and Indiana Jones and The Lat Crusade on pre-recorded SVHS, and I think there may be a Robocop.
Thank- E

Here are the 4 S-VHS tapes I own.

Probably not going to bother getting any more since they're barely a curiosity to me at this point.

Super Source Video, that was the company that specifically offered and advertised Super VHS movie tapes. I am fascinated to see that the box for Star Trek 6 has their name as part of the main printing/design.

Someone paid over a hundred and 30 each for Wrath of Khan and Undiscovered Country. I mean I wanted the tapes but for a reasonable price. The Super VHS are absurdly priced. Like no one is paying over a hundred bucks for Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade, even if it's a letterbox tape. Apparently Star Trek IV also exists but I haven't seen it pop up.

I remember seeing Star Trek IV on S-VHS but the seller wanted a down payment on a BMW for it, so I definitely passed on it and haven't seen one since.

Funnily enough a used one sold for a hundred dollars Star Trek IV.

It must be Star Trek fan who wanted these tapes.
