One fun fact I learned when I was toying with Laserdisc is why it was so popular in Japan: the humidity encourages video tape to grow mold[0] unless it's stored somewhere cool and dry. I would love the room to play with more of the obscure / dead video formats but Laserdisc is enough for me. Others here have recommended Techmoan[1] as a good source of vicariously seeing obsolete video formats.
