Aside from the hundreds or thousands of people involved in designing, building, selling them? I guess the thousands of people doing similar stuff who talked about how the competition was doing things like people in any business do. Probably more than are discussing that today. I always get a chuckle when things are "discovered" or invented" that have been around and known about for years and could be learned about by asking the right person or reading the right document.

Yes kids enjoyed them.
I enjoyed them.
My friends enjoyed them no matter how primitive some were.

There's always elitist fucks in these tiger handheld threads who shit on them for not being gameboys but childhood was a simpler time when simple things could be exciting and imagination was the fuel for excitement.

For me, handhelds started with Radio Shack's Plane and Tank. Then I got a mix of these and Nintendo Game and Watches. The Tiger one I played the most was a two in one (you turn it 180 degrees for the second game) combination of Bo Jackson baseball and football. Don't have any Tiger's left, but here's the collection of what I still do have left of the rest.

I played that one and the Goosebumps one in church when I was a kid. Didn't like The Lion King but Goosebumps was kinda fun.
Anyone remember a Crash Bandicoot LCD game? It was more advanced than the typical Tiger handheld, behind the back perspective that emulated Crash's gameplay pretty OK for what it was, this was sometime in the late 90s. I remember a catacombs level. I think there was a Resident Evil LCD game in the same line?

These were surprisingly good. When the N64 was dying out and just before the Gamecube was released a friend of mine brought one of these to school. For about 2 months these things became the 'it' thing at my elementary school. At first we laughed because a couple of us had gameboy colours and we would take turns playing Zelda on lunch break and then we got hooked on these things. And they were really cheap at the time too. The racing game was surprisingly fun or maybe it was a spaceship? We would try and max out the speed and difficulty and see who could get the furthest.

It was so weird because for a week it was super popular in our classroom (grade 6) and then we noticed other classrooms playing these things. Even the older kids started playing them.

>These were surprisingly good
under 20$ these 20/50/99 games in 1 were a fucking steal compared to a used good gameboy cart which would cost 10-25$ depending on the game

battery life wasn't that bad either no one would bother stealing(minus the fucking teachers reee) them either too as a time killer handheld from the 90's legit 9/10 primitive as fuck but when you've got over 9000 variations of tetris racing breakout and etc simple games all under the same hood which even the poorest mother fucker could own

well it'll spread faster than aids these were indeed rather popular from 96ish-01 but sadly very forgotten and highly under rated

Some Tiger handhelds were quite ambitious with what they tried to do. Obviously there were some stinkers that kids got lumbered with and Tiger would license absolutely any fucking thing but the ones I had like Simon's Quest and Home Alone 2 were fun enough for a few minutes at a time.
Compare them to some early game boy games or 80s arcade titles and they have the same amount of depth (very little). Literally made to last a few minutes and meant to be replayed over and over like a score attack.

This is why they were only a fun distraction for a few minutes. I can't say I hated them but most of the time I couldn't figure out how to actually win at them. The platformers all just had you and the enemies teleport around the screen and then you'd just lose because you collided with something.

Its a matter of perspective, in the 1950's this was considered a game, its literally spin a cardboard circle and guess the number.

They were a pretty cheap present your aunt could get you, press buttons and things move, a bit of a novelty since most people didn't have digital electronics in their house. The tiger ones were the bottom of the barrel but some were still good, the early lcd games were often like space invaders or car racing games, you would get bored since they only had 1 level or increasing speed but some of the tiger games would have a boss so that was basically winning the game.
Even as an adult I can play them for couple of minutes just because of the novelty.

That's a term people on here don't seem to have a grasp on. In a world where every kid has a smartphone that can emulate millions of things we could only dream of as children, these handhelds do seem like something as antiquated as that toy in your vid.
It's unfair to compare LCD handhelds to real video games, they were more electronic toys that had the novelty of resembling a video game.

I'm pretty sure anon means this Hulk Hogan figure (series 4). I had that one and a series 3 Hogan (suplex action) which was my first WWF figure.

That Undertaker was my favourite by far though, just completely different to ally other figures and a great look.

>Some Tiger handhelds were quite ambitious with what they tried to do.

That's the problem with them. There's a limit to how much gameplay you can cram into these things, just compare Tiger's Sonic LCD with Sega's:

I wonder if you can blame this thing for the GB's pre-Pokemon decline in the mid 90s. It basically rendered the best selling GB game obsolete.

I sure never enjoyed them. They weren't even much of a novelty. They were just... there. An inoffensive presence at best.

I liked some cheap handheld game devices though. Mechanical ones could be good. I remember one little motorcycle-racing game in which some kind of cleverly constructed set of enemy racers (in the form of little plastic nubs supported by unobtrusive-looking background plastic) would somehow rotate around a loop of track, powered by a windup motor, while you maneuvered your bike (another nub that could collide with the others, supported by an unobtrusive background stick you could slide up and down) and tried not to crash into anything. Or something like that. It wasn't super interesting to play but the construction of it was clever and charming. Another I liked was this weird slot machine thingy with three spinners on it that would turn up, when you stopped them, with images of three parts of a robot, and so you'd make a random robot by matching three sections. And there was some kind of challenge involved where you'd lock specific spinners and re-spin the rest or something, like in video poker or something, in order to try for the coolest and highest-scoring combination of parts. And there was some other one I liked but I can't remember it clearly.

Anyway the electronic games of that type sucked. Mechanical ones at least had some elegance to them.

I liked them. They were a good option for long car rides as a member of a family too poor to afford a Game Boy. I received them from clueless aunts and grandmas. Just think of all the poor saps they suckered into buying one of these.

I had that Highway game. Thanks for the good memories fren.

They were for when you would bug your mom too much about getting you a video game and they thought this cheap thing would suffice.

I feel bad I bugged my mom about getting me games when I was really young, I didnt realize how expensive they were. I am lucky that I realized that pretty young so I could stop acting like a spoiled brat.

they were okay once they were intuitive. had double dragon 2 and it was just 'fight baddies/avoid obstacles and move forward to next bunch of baddies/obstacles etc etc' and was fine as that
too many of the later 90s ones tried all sorts of bizarre and unintelligibe goals and mechanics that most couldn't wrap their heads around
