For the price it works pretty well.  We just bought one at Toys 'R Us
for just under $100 (with 5% tax).    For this price you don't get a
monitor, but it has a build in RF modulator for connecting to a standard
TV.   It comes with one of those switch boxes like video games come
with.   The package was very complete, tape, cables, and even batteries.
Oh, it also records audio through a front mounted mic.   It is a toy,
however.

I think the kids will have fun with it, unless they are so spoiled that
they can't live without color!  I'll soon find out.

How for how tough it is; hard to tell.   I looks to be about as tough as
their cassette tape recorder, but I don't it would pass the bounce test
onto concrete.
