Tiger Handhelds

[nightrnr]

Wow, I remember that pinball one (BurningDoom's post). I have no idea when or where I played it though; probably at a friend's house.

There's another thread about Tiger handhelds too:

I've re-acquired Mega Man 2 from my childhood memories, but that's all I've been able to obtain. Not a horrible game really (as far as those games go), but nostalgia may be clouding my perception.

I loved Sonic 2 when I was a kid.

I only have two now, both are in the Sega "Pocket Arcade" line which makes them a little boring to look at. One is Sonic 3D Blast, which I thought was a boring waste of time even by Tiger handheld standards. The other is NiGHTS into Dreams which I still have sealed in the original packaging (I got lucky on eBay a few years back) and haven't been able to bring myself to open it up since I'm sure I won't enjoy the game too much.

There are two more I'd like to collect at some point: the original, non-Pocket Arcade version of NiGHTS into Dreams (I would play that one!) and Panzer Dragoon. Maybe the R-Zone version of Panzer Dragoon too, just for MAXIMUM COLLECTION COMPLETENESS?
I DON'T HAVE A PROBLEM! :[

Oh, I had quite a few of these. I remember playing this one a lot:

Pretty awful. Tiger didn't have too many original titles, and it's easy to see why. Look at that character design!

And although it wasn't a Tiger handheld, I used to have this thing, and it was awesome:

Wow! Nostalgia just hit me like a sack of bricks looking at that picture. I remember getting one of these when I was young and playing it when we visited my great grandparents house. There was never much to do, so I'd bring that fishing game and a lot of Godzilla toys. I had a Sonic the Hedgehog and Sonic 3D Blast one as well.

I also had an R-Zone and a drawer full of those SEGA Pocket Arcades:

Looks like I might be purchasing some of these out of pure nostalgia/collecting purposes.

I used to have one for Mega Man 3 and Ninja Turtles as a kid. I lost them

[Nyukki]

I also had an R-Zone

I used to beg my mum to buy me one of these but she never did. Are they any good?

[Jrecee]

No.

[ExedExes]

I still have the Electronic Pinball one.

Pinball ruled. I had that one. My first was Skeet Shoot, it had a wheel to turn to aim the gun -



Then I got the awesome Sub Wars, one that featured Tiger's "Super Sound"


Finally one I wish I had but got to play, Mouse Maze

[Key-Glyph]

No.

I also never played it, but definitely remember thinking that R-Zone looked like the coolest thing ever. I vaguely recall pleading with my mother that it was a totally different kind of video game experience, because I would actually walk around in it! So incredible! So futuristic!

My naivety + a relatively good marketing campaign --> nag city.

Before I had a gameboy, I had the Double Dragon game. I loved that game but lost it a few months after I got it. By chance, I came across the game mixed in with toys at a church yard sale. The game doesn't hold up too well without the rose colored glasses, it is extremely repetive.
