I was big into Tiger handhelds growing. They’re awful by today’s standards, but they’ll always have a special place in my heart.
I had Gauntlet and Double Dragon (plus some other non-Tiger ones). The love died the day I got a Gameboy.
Game Boy changed everything.
Wow. Memory freaking unlocked. I had forgotten that these existed for probably 25 years until I saw this very post. Now it’s all coming back to me! I had the Jurassic Park one and never could figure out how to play it right as a kid, but still had fun.
I was always really underwhelmed by them, but that was probably because I had already played a Game Boy lol
Yeah that’s fair. They were never terribly impressive visually, but their affordability is what made them appealing. Much cheaper than a Game Boy + games.
Fantastic! I had Ninja Gaiden and Megaman 2 (I think). Megaman was especially interesting for having different bosses.
My mom had to hide my Batman Returns game because I wasn’t doing my homework.
