A subsidiary of the toy mongrel Hasbro, Tiger Electronics, for many years, managed to satisfy the rapidly expanding video game demands by producing and releasing a whole infestation of very low-quality handheld LCD "games" that somehow gave off the impression that you were holding an actual NES right in the palm of your hands. But the truth is, IT WORKED! Since another main facet to market economy is that the products that people buy the most are the ones that get produced the most, Tiger proceeded to milk their new money grab for all that it was worth, and even tried their hand at releasing whole video game consoles for the sake of it. The Nerd casts his eye on a selection of hardware by Tiger Electronics, including a selection of LCD handheld games and wristwatch-styled games, plus two portable consoles – the Game.com and the R-Zone. This is Angry Videogame Nerd episode 113

    “Save your toilet paper, it’ll be worth a whole lot more” This was actual financial advice for 2020. Nobody took James seriously
  • @OrbisAetherum
    Ironically I don't think there was ever a Tiger handheld for the one game that would make total sense: Tetris.

    You have to admit, the artistry of the Tiger Electronic game is kind of impressive. I mean, these guys had to design an entire game with multiple frames of animation where every single sprite slots together on one screen. The ways they saved space and made the artwork as simplistic as possible is really interesting.

    The “ He’s gonna take you back to the past” never gets old
  • @RinkuSonic41
    Fun fact: that Taxman game was made by HAL Laboratories. Yes, that HAL Laboratories that worked on EarthBound and Smash Bros.

    Before they wrote rule 34 all we had was rule 33: If it exists, there’s a tiger handheld version of it
  • @suleymanbabak1973
    These games are the epitome of "mom, can you buy me a Game Boy?" "we already have that other game at home"
  • @chinuochinu2070
    The iconic 64 bits, 32 bits, 16 bits ,8 bits, 4 bits, 2 bits, 1 bit, ½ bit, ¼ bit, THE WRIST GAAAAAAAMMMEEEE never gets old.

    It's crazy how I still see this as a "new" AVGN episode even though it came out almost a decade ago
  • @lootrat1337
    I remember I had a ton of these things,not because I bought them intentionally,but because McDonald's gave them out as toys in happy meals.

    You know what's funny, when I was 9 I was playing with my gameboy and some kid made fun of me for playing a GB games like Mario because it sucks. Meanwhile he was holding a Street Fighter Tiger Game...

    The best thing about the most recent episodes of the show is that I now appreciate episodes from this era all the more. It was a bit past its prime here, but the passion and charm was still there.
