Once upon a time back in nineteen ninety something I used to work part time in a off corner video rental store. The place was right around the corner from China town. It always seemed to be raining back then for some reason but the neon glow of the 'Open' sign was a very welcoming sight to a cold winters day. There were some Sword and Sorcery films that always seemed to have fantastic covers at the video store but folks always complained about 'em. Yet they were always rented over and over again on the weekends.
So here are five right off the top of my head.
Your mileage in your OSR campaign as always with these may vary. I bare no responsibility for assault on your sanity. Excuse me while I go put some tapes away in the stacks.
Hundra 1983
