Those *Tiger Handheld LCD ganes* were the bomb back in the day! But here in Brazil they were called "Minigames* and had no trace of the name Tiger on them. They were licenced by a Brazilian company called Tectoy, which was the same company that distributed the Sega Genesis (using the European name Megadrive). Only recently I learned they were called Tiger games in the US by watching an AVGN episode about them. Speaking of which, I sensed a huge inspiration from him on this episode. Well done! Just watch out for that fucking hot tea! What were you thinking?! 😉

That's some really cool info, thanks for sharing that! Very interesting. As far as your comment about inspiration from AVGN... believe it or not, I actually have no idea what that is! I'm assuming it's a gaming channel? The only research I did on this game was sesrching for images of the package artwork. Otherwise I didn't need inspiration, since I had the game growing up and loved it, so I've been looking forward to covering it for awhile. 😁

But you can only run past the infiltrators... so if there is a laser tower, terminator arm, or big endoskeleton on screen, pushing the up button won't do anything. I'm pretty sure the down button just doesn't do anything, but I could be wrong on that one. Can't imagine what it would do, though. Thanks for the great question!
