Raise your hand if you had a Tiger handheld growing up

I had Mortal Kombat growing up and man... were those things terrible, especially if you played the original games they were based on. Still, they were portable and helped pass the time away on long trips, especially if you didn't have a Game Boy.

I loved Konami’s shape for the ninja turtles handheld. That being said these games were frustrating and already seemed outdated to me in the late 80s when most of us were playing game boy or game gear for handhelds then

Safe-Mortgage6919@reddit

I have this one too. I got it for my birthday in 1st grade and a kid stole it from my book bag and told the teacher it was his and she believed him. Years later as an adult, I found it at a garage sale. Great game

[-]

waywardviking208@reddit

I’m glad your stolen property was returned… maybe just maybe it was the same console

[-]

djseifer@reddit (OP)

Probably still easier than TMNT on the NES. Damn dam level...

[-]

Horizontal_Bob@reddit

I har that exact game. Still do somewhere.

[-]

iamleeg@reddit

I had this one, and Altered Beast 2.

[-]

RylosAU@reddit

[-]

legotheoffice@reddit

Double Dragon! The screen stopped illuminating after a while lol.

[-]

BendingUnit221@reddit

[-]

clorox2@reddit

Still have my Tiger Sonic handheld. And my Nintendo Snoopy Game and Watch.

[-]

Safe-Mortgage6919@reddit

I have sonic, Spider-Man, X-men and the mortal kombat one that has the pop out light.

[-]

ChrisTGIK@reddit

I had Batman and Baseball. Maybe a couple of others, but I played the crap out of Batman and Baseball.

[-]

Ok_Connection2874@reddit

Played the Baseball one until it stopped working. Wore that s.o.b. out

[-]

Mom-all-knowing@reddit

Days of Thunder racing. Loved it!

[-]

johnvalley86@reddit

I still have my Aladdin one. I gave it to my 9-year-old so he could check it out. Fired it up and he just looked at me like what the fuck is this?

[-]

096624@reddit

Never seemed to have batteries!

[-]

NtotheO@reddit

I had a little mermaid one!

[-]

Logical_Two5639@reddit

No, sadly just the one, but it was super fun and is possibly in my mother's attic.

[-]

Hour_Balance_7296@reddit

Same! That one and a Ninja Turtle one.

[-]

Munchkin531@reddit

Me too! This was a must-have for any car ride.

[-]

MasterDave@reddit

Bo Jackson football AND Baseball all in one here. Doppler stupid, was awesome.

[-]

Son_of_Eraserhead@reddit

Even as a kid they only provided about 15 min of excitement.

[-]

Logical_Two5639@reddit

my eyes glossed over your /u/ and for a hot second I interpreted this as a post about an Eraserhead Tiger game.

[-]

CapnHowdysPlayhouse@reddit

Police Academy and it was sweet

[-]

Logical_Two5639@reddit

no freaking way! that's amazing!

[-]

Logical_Two5639@reddit

Little Mermaid for me 🐙 I begged my mom to get it for me at Ames. Did the trick until GameBoy came into my life.

[-]

Accomplished_Pen980@reddit

I'm seeing. These at Game Stop again.

[-]

R1Alvin@reddit

Can confirm all of the scratches on the screen from Chucking these devices at the floor full gas. 🤣

[-]

cat_at_the_keyboard@reddit

I got this shit when I asked for a game boy for my birthday. I think I had Aladdin and Lion King and they both sucked

[-]

Dependent_Bill8632@reddit

I had a whole “arcade” of them because that’s all my on and dad could usually afford. And yes, my favorite was the green TMNT game!

[-]

Retina400@reddit

Batman Returns. Completed it many times. Loved how easy it was

[-]

SerpentineSorceror@reddit

I had Batman, and between me and my dad we played the absolute HELL out of that thing. But beating the shit out of the Joker never stopped being fun.

[-]

SonRyu6@reddit

I had quite a few: Gauntlet, TMNT, Batman, Double Dragon, among others. Wish I still had them.

[-]

Roller_ball@reddit

Even through the rose-tinted lenses of nostalgia, they are still a piece of shit.

[-]

prolikewhoa@reddit

The little handheld water games where you squeeze the button and shoot rings everywhere were more fun than these horrible Tiger handheld games.

[-]

johnnloki@reddit

They were back then when you were 6, also.

[-]

Coyote_Roadrunna@reddit

Had Simon's Quest and Double Dragon. Perfect for the bus ride to school every morning circa 1991.

[-]

brian11e3@reddit

They still make them. I bought the Ninja Gaiden one for a friend for nostalgia purposes last year.

[-]

Seanna86@reddit

Had A Tiger? I had quite a few. Favorites were the Little Mermaid and Pit Fighter.

[-]

OkPie8905@reddit

I had a RadioShack that knew me well for just playing them through their packaging. I pushed anything that had a button on that place

[-]

vapre@reddit

I had the ‘dinosaur-that-would-catch-eggs’ game from RS.

Raise your hand if you thought the Tiger handhelds were terrible 🙋‍♂️

[-]

satchelchargers@reddit

I had a pinball one that was actually pretty good.

[-]

heyitscory@reddit

I played Batman until I maxed out the score. I just jumped over the boss fight boomerang for like 3 hours.

Still the only reason I know the name Ivan Ironman Stewart.

[-]

EvenSpoonier@reddit

Batman and Pinball. I also had a Wrestlemania one that wasn't by Tiger.

[-]

LostViking24601@reddit

Gauntlet all day

We had a few at our house. I had the boot Jackson one, which was double sided and had both baseball and footbal. I loved it so much. my sister had tiny toons... I think we had the karnov one too

[-]

Shagggadooo@reddit

Is that the one with the swipe cards? If so, I had it. Lol

[-]

Spartan04@reddit

I had a few. I had a car racing one, a bowling one, and a pinball one (I especially remember that one since it was blue instead of the typical white).

Once I got a Game Boy though I pretty much stopped playing them and didn’t get any more.
