LeatherRebel5150 | 1,056 Posted February 15, 2021 Share Posted February 15, 2021 Stopped at the mall yesterday and checked out the book store, which also happens to have some board games and other misc stuff and saw that Tiger is rereleasing their old handhelds. Thought someone here would be interested to know. I saw an Xmen, Little Mermaid, and the third one i forgot 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mideast | 144 Posted February 16, 2021 Share Posted February 16, 2021 Wow did you notice any differences from the original hardware? Look pretty legitimate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hammerfestus | 3,853 Posted February 16, 2021 Share Posted February 16, 2021 Shoot. If they’re cheap enough I’d pick up a couple. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LutherDestroysTheGond | 690 Posted February 16, 2021 Share Posted February 16, 2021 (edited) They're at gamestop locations iirc. In the checkout lines with impulse buys. Noticed them a few weeks ago but they're not for me Edited February 16, 2021 by LutherDestroysTheGond Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Estil | 1,265 Posted February 16, 2021 Share Posted February 16, 2021 I had a few LCD games from the 90s...my grandma still has a few...a Yahtzee game, Solitaire game, Who Wants to be a Millionaire I got her one Christmas back in the day, among other things. I also had a few casino handheld LCD games back in the day, like Radio Shack blackjack for example. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tanooki | 4,936 Posted February 16, 2021 Share Posted February 16, 2021 I saw one at a gamestop once, it was the Transformer G2 one. From what I've been told, other than I guess the back plate which should have a new copyright info year in the rear and modern branding they should be identical to the originals. They're just cheap re-releases of licensed goods. As far as I recall there are four, the other is a Sonic game. I think they're $20 a piece which isn't far off the mark for their price back in the 80s too. I think if I ever saw the Transformers one, I'd grab it. You play as prime and just blow up decepticons which is fine by me. Tiger stuff has been and on and off interest of mine for years and as such I do have a few of the original handhelds still, and I also have one of those virtual boy wannabes the XPG (thankfully the handheld, not the ridiculous eye patch version.) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RegularGuyGamer | 2,013 Posted February 16, 2021 Share Posted February 16, 2021 Do they still suck? 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tanooki | 4,936 Posted February 16, 2021 Share Posted February 16, 2021 Suck all the same, they're unchanged. You either love them or hate them, not much of a middle ground on a segmented LCD game. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DarkTone | 985 Posted February 16, 2021 Share Posted February 16, 2021 Didn't get a gameboy for years. It was these or nothing and I enjoyed these. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

croagunk | 798 Posted February 16, 2021 Share Posted February 16, 2021 I bought the Sonic 3 one at EB Games a few months ago. It’s a real throwback, but I’d rather play on the Genesis. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
