Back in the old 8-bit days I would record some of my coolest moments and re-watch or show the video of the actual gameplay. My friend even taped Dracula X and showed it in High School. Anyone remember how to do it? I forget.

Yeah, I've done this before. Not so much to record my greatest gaming moments, but rather, to have a bunch of cool game intros and demos all on one tape.
If you have your gaming system hooked up through your VCR to the TV, you can just press record and so it that way, or set the VCR to record the "line" channel.
I've done this many times when recording VOOT matches and the like for friends who want to see certain games that are imports and they aren't sure about getting.
No, but I took a picture of a Tony Hawk glitch that made it look like I was going to get millions of points when I landed.
Back in the day, I was playing Exile 2 : Wicked Phenomenon for Turbo Duo. There was some killer boss that you weren't supposed to be able to beat. As I was going through the game, I was recording all cutscenes and Boss battles. I didn't know you weren't supposed to beable to beat this guy, but I fought him for 22 minutes, and I thought I had him dead, but it just wouldn't let me win. I eventually watched the tape, and it shows that I did take his energy down all the way, but it was all for nothing. I remember I called the Duo hotline and bitched, and they had no idea what I was talking about.
Not often. Every time I play any Quake 2 mod online, though, I'm recording a demo. And I love recamming the Q2 demos (not possible in Q3 or Half-Life, sadly), so if I ever recam anything good, I record it to VHS.
...And I'd probably record my VOOT matches, but, I really just keep 'em on the VMU.
But I'll keep VHS in mind, the next time that I find my VMU is filled with VOOT replays.
sometimes i taped xband MK2 matches to study opponents strategies and patterns... it was somewhat useful and entertaining..
About the closest I have come to that is taking blurry photographs of my ridiculously high scores on various Activision games for my Atari 2600, so I could send them to get the badge for that particular game.
I used to record game footage to help show off game titles when I used to work at Software Etc and EB. Plus I recorded matches of Street Fighter 2 back in the day, and sport matches of Madden, NBA Live, and Ninja Gaiden! :)
A friend and I taped all the Ninja Gaiden cinemas from each game and put them on one tape. Hmm.
Another friend would record shooter videos and send them to his brother who was living in germany at the time. One night, we sat down to do Thunderforce IV, he set the difficulty on highest, used the cheat to get a ton of men, and then proceeded to beat it in one man while taping. That was rather cool :)
