Help me name this handheld

[dustin]

OK so I remember this handheld from when I was a kid and I can not find the name of it anywhere just wondering if anyone here remembers it as well. So here are the facts...

Multiple versions I remember there was a normal handheld kinda one and also a virtual boy style kinda one with a headset. These where exactly the same machine though just different layouts.

Had a star wars game that was sometimes packaged with it. I remember because this was why I wanted it.

I only ever saw it at Toys R Us

This was during the 90's. I would guess mid but closer to late otherwise I would have been to young. It was while I had a gameboy though.

The following are possibly not true as my memory is pretty faded on the subject

Had a red and black color scheme?

It was probably not very good at all?


Anyway I've looked around a lot and can not find anything on it. Just thought maybe someone else had seen one before.

Uhhh... that sounds remarkably like the Virtual Boy itself.

I don't think this is the system your looking for but who knows.

I believe you are looking for a Tiger R-zone.

I believe you are looking for a Tiger R-zone.

I agree with xzeronature and Barracuda on this. http://www.vintagecomputing.com/wp-cont ... _large.jpg

Wow, this thread has caused a flood of childhood memories and now I'm sitting here with my mind blown. I completely remember the R-Zone - I wanted one too, but never got one.

This is why I love this site.

oh snap, that's amazing. Way to go guys that is exactly what I was thinking of.

I have an R-Zone SuperScreen with a copy of Toshinden.

I wanna mod it. Maybe replace the crappy bulb with LEDs, redo the controls, and make it run on something smaller than those big-ass C batteries (or were they D's?).

I mean, what the HELL uses anything bigger than AA anymore? I mean, the voltage of a AA and a C and a D are the same. But if done right, then one could replace the big'uns with AA's and make it run better.

I remember seeing this when it first came out and I thought it just looked like one of those crappy Tiger Handhelds except this was like slamming it in front of your face.

Was this system any good?

[Ack]

From what I've heard about it, it was a good idea but didn't work too well in execution.
