As some others have noted, your best bet would be to purchase several
VCRs right now and storing them away until needed. You'll likely be able
to keep viewing VHS tapes for many, many years to come using this
method. Your best bet would be to purchase a few high-end SVHS JVC decks.

BTW, if you love the Alien movies, you should seriously consider picking
up the Alien Quadrilogy. It will BLOW you away. You'll curse the very
existence of that crappy old VHS copy you have.
