Tiger Handhelds are back in all their shittyness!

Hasbro brought them back including Sonic 3. $15 at Gamestop. But where the fuck is the R-Zone? Why deny to go blind in one eye?

To be fair, it's not like they're setting unrealistic expectations or anything.

The people selling them know they're shitty. The people buying them know they're shitty. We all know that they're shitty. Still, there is a certain novelty I guess. I wouldn't drop $15 on one, but it's a little neat seeing these things having a second release.

Eh, The Oregon Trail handheld from a couple of years back I'd call a novelty. This is just like bringing back Bubsy. They may be remembered but not fondly.

All their shittyness?

No. There is another. Let's hope they don't revive it too.

[Leynos]

Yeah, I knew someone with one of those. I could not see shit playing it. Some of the worst ghosting ever. Sound sucked. I know it's not Tiger Electronics but the other handheld that is a notorious piece of shit that was from a company called Tiger Telematics. Gizmondo. Is it me or are gaming systems branded after a cat just cursed? Lynx. Jaguar, Tiger anything?

I think they are severely overestimating the appeal of these things.

I'm much more interested in those Arcade1Up little tv+console thingies.

[MrMatthews]

Lol... oh lord, is that for real?

[Leynos]

Yup. Seen some reviews on them. Functional but useless at their size.

If Konami jumps in I would love to get Splinter Speaks again.

Those little TVs are so cute!

Tiger handhelds were the bane of my childhood.

I'd buy one of these just to f*cking smash it.

Tiger handhelds remind me of going on vacation back in the day and playing one of these things and getting carsick.

Those little TVs are so cute!

I want to mod the wooden one with a better screen and a mini raspberry pi, then put it on the shelf above my computer and have it nonstop play old shows like the honeymooners.

I actually enjoyed Bubsy. Thought it was a creative concept for the time, I beat both games on the Genesis and the first one on the SNES. It was only when I got on the Internet and started reading forums I discovered everyone hated it! I also owned a couple Tiger handhelds back in the day but wouldn't buy another.
