I actually played Tiger Double Dragon II until I managed to beat the piece of shit. All it did was play a slightly different ending sound (instead of the game over sound) and unceremoniously end. I guess I should've expected that.

I think I had Double Dragon, as I remember it being one of the Tiger handhelds. However, in my mind, I could have swore I had Wizards & Warriors.

[Anonymous No.7851174]

I don't think I ever had any Tiger brand ones specifically. I had a ton of these old LCD games back in the day, though.
Picrel was my favorite one. It was a VR Troopers handheld with 2 interchangeable cartridges.
JEB'S RESCUE is a standard left to right bmup
JB'S BATTLE (my favorite of the 2) was continuous rounds of melee fighting against squads of standard enemies broken up by bosses (one boss, repeatedly, but harder).

Also had a shitton of Blackjack ones of all different types because I'm an autist.

I bought one of these things (or similar, there being a billion of them) nearly every single week for what must've been a year or more. They wouldn't last for more than a week or two before the button membranes failed or the screen died or god knows what went wrong with the thing.
They used to be $10 and for $10 I'd buy a more modern version of the same piece of shit.

[Anonymous No.7851310]

I was never tempted since I knew they sucked and while they had a reputation of being for "poor kids" they were rather expensive, I think each of them likely cost the same as a game boy game or close to it so I never saw the benefit of getting that over a GB cartridge instead.

I wish I could remember the name, but it was military game that reminded me of Guerilla War on NES. You were on the bottom of the screen and soldiers rushed towards you. I think they had 2 frames, near and far. Maybe a helicopter/tank enemy would show up sometimes?

I had several but this one was my favorite. All you could do was bat on it, as I recall, but that was fine since batting is the only fun thing in baseball.

Even after I got a Gameboy in 1995 I'd return to this game as it was very simple and quick to play but still fun.

>long carrides
Right. That's exactly what these were good for. I think a lot of younger folks don't realize that when you were a kid in the early 90s you often found yourself in situations where you literally had nothing to do for long stretches of time. Tiger handhelds were perfect for just filling in the gap and preventing an 8 year old from having a bitch fit from spending several hours in the back seat of a car.

[Anonymous No.7854683]

Mortal Kombat 1 (it was black and had Goro and I think Kano on it)
Super Street Fighter 2 (It was red and had Ken, T Hawk, Fei Long, Cammy, Guile, and Dee Jay on it)
X-Men (I don't remember what it looked like, but I remember you played as Wolverine)
I think I also had a Sonic 3 one, but I might be misremembering. Don't remember any gameplay from it.

What do you think of Hasbro bringing some of them back?
I think it's kinda cute. I mean it's obviously a retro market nostalgia cash grab but still, these things are iconic and I really like that in these days of mobile full color gaming devices they bring old technology back in this context (LCD tech in itself is of course still widely used for numbers etc).

I had a couple of them. The Street Fighter II and Mortal Kombat 3 ones.
They were both complete garbage.
My parents tried to talk me into buying anything else with my money, but I wouldn't listen. Tiger had some of the best marketing around back then.

I think the Street Fighter one was $20 and the MK3 one was even more. That was enough to buy a used or discounted game back then.

The design of the packaging and the handheld itself was superb. The commercials were some of the best around, far better than console games, and they played a lot more often.

The brand probably has enough nostalgia in it to have a successful resurgence. A handheld with a standard LCD screen that has 30 of them built in would probably sell pretty well. Then you could release another one with another 30 and so on.
