An overview and demonstration of the Hitachi TRQ-298 Cassette Tape Recorder.
This is the very same machine that Ryo uses to listen to tapes in Shenmue II. It's a strange but awesome feeling to use it in real life the same way he does in the game.

This is as far as I was able to push it with my attempts. While working towards this I got 1:36:866, 1:35:966, 1:35:200, 1:35:066, 1:34:900, 1:34:800, 1:34:666 and after I set my PB I got 1:34:633 twice. All within the span of 2 days.
Like all my Shenmue I&II footage, this is recorded with Widescreen Mod and Audio Restauration Project active. These mods only affect aesthetics and give no advantage to the gameplay.")
