Remember those Tiger Electronics LCD games from the '90s? They're making a comeback

Hasbro is the latest company to cash in on nostalgia, with the announcement that it is bringing back the Tiger Electronic LCD handheld games.

Had a bunch of those as a kid, and even as a kid, I thought most of them were terrible. A few good ones, though I can't really remember one off the top of my head.

I had like 12 or 13 of them. Only 1 or 2 were any good, and that's being generous. It's funny because even as a 9 year old, I knew they were almost all bad, but still wanted them when I saw them, yet was somehow disappointed every time when turned out to he bad.

Mega Man 6 (I think? Could have been 4 or 5, can't remember) was fun.

Street Fighter 2 was surprisingly decent.

I also had a big green one that was shaped like an "A". It was TMNT and you could be any of the 4 turtles. When you turned it on it played the TMNT theme song REALLY loud. One day it went off in my back pack back 4th grade and I got in trouble lol.

I totally had that X-Men one too!

Either way, I can't imagine playing these now.

I had Ninja Gaiden 2 and Batman as a gift. I played them for about a month each until I got bored. Yes even for that time I knew those Tiger handhelds were terrible. I can't see this Tiger come back as being a success

They did not last long. They were ok, nothing like a Gameboy or gamegear.

[TheEnigma313]

of course they're weren't; they were only like $20.

WHY?

[TheEnigma313]

Because nostalgia sells.

[TheEnigma313]

i loved these. They sucked but were cheap and fun in some ways. I'm gonna but them and not open them.

[FlameWater]

Surely someone from the Hasbro Marketing team will be fired soon

I can see a parent buying this for a 5 year old.

Anyway, $15 is a little steep.

I remember having the double dragon one of these things back in the day

Wish I can go back to the 90’s😫☹️😔

[CorndogBurglar]

Me too haha. Back then I couldn't wait to grow up and get older. Now that I'm 38 I wish I could go back. Life was so easy back then.

........why?

Nobody tell the Angry Video Game Nerd

[froy402]

The only one I can remember is Aladdin. I didn't really bother with these, I was too busy playing my NES, SNES, sega genises,Ps1, game gear, N64, and Sega dreamcast in the 90's.

There is absolutely no reason for these to make a "comeback" when we have Android/iOS and the Switch and such. It's just pointless.
