It is also seen on the video board game ''Rap Rat''. It does not appear on 1991-1992 [[ABC Video (Australia)|ABC Video]] releases, even though the logo is featured on the back; they just use the [[Video Selection Australia]] logo of the time. This also appears on [[Walt Disney Studios Home Entertainment|Walt Disney Home Video]] and [[Touchstone Home Entertainment|Touchstone Home Video]] titles they distributed at the time. Tapes with this logo should usually have the Village Roadshow logo in <span style="color:#FFD700">gold</span> (sometimes it's a solid colour) with "ROADSHOW HOME VIDEO" underneath it on the spine of the cover. Some early releases with this logo continued to use the previous logo on the labels. It also appears on New Zealand ABC Video releases along with the Video Selection Australia logo. One of the last releases to use this logo was ''Atmosfear''. | '''Availability:''' Seen on Australian VHS & Betamax tapes in the late '80s and early '90s, Titles include ''The Falcon and the Snowman'' (the first release with this logo), ''The Terminator'', ''Rambo: First Blood Part II'', ''Short Circuit'', ''9 & 1/2 Weeks'', ''The Running Man'', ''Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: The Movie'', and ''RoboCop II''.
