Tiger's Most Ridiculous LCD Games | Nostalgia Nerd

Go to www.brilliant.org/NostalgiaNerd/ to sign up for free. The first 200 people will get 20% off their annual premium membership.... Tiger LCD games; we're all familiar with those. Handheld games which offer brief moments of distraction, but did you know that Tiger actually made deluxe versions of these games in tabletop format. The outcome is, as you'd expect, ridiculous and absurd, so I felt like it was time to look a the 3 main culprits. Afterburner, Outrun and Batman.

    When I was a kid, I got an After Burner 'table top' game from somewhere, and I liked it more without the batteries, as an imaginary fighter jet cockpit. The game was horrible.

    There were a lot of toys like that in the 70s and 80s... and since you only got a couple of presents each year, you made do with what you had. Which means when some aunt blew a bunch of money on a really shitty present, you pretended they did good... even if they got you something they had seen you playing with in previous years and you had outgrown already, yet they got you another one. :P Or when your parents got you that "programmable" robot dump truck that would have been awesome to have in 2nd grade... as a gift when you were in 5th grade and had been coding for years already, so the "computer" in the dump truck was pathetic and nearly unusable. Therefore you pretended it wasn't a toy you had asked for years earlier... ignoring the requests you had made _this_ calendar year, or even the previous one. Sometimes you just had to pretend you liked what you got, or you were in deep shit. A big imagination goes well with such an unfun scenario to be in.

    To me this always has been the kind of hardware, that only unknowing elderly people (parents) would buy, because they cannot distinguish it from the real thing. When I was a kid, everytime I walked past these in the supermarket, I felt sad for the poor kids whose parents fell for that.. Honestly, I didn't even think the joysticks, steering wheels and buttons on the plastic body had a function.

    I guess that depended on the age. For 5 year-olds this isnt too bad (or at least wasnt at the time). But the crowds for these started to thin down in the first days of school, basically. On a sidenote: Did i get the video right, that they had no power plug-in and HAD to be run on batteries, despite being, you know, table-tops? I guess it went well with all the plastic, uh? No matter the kid´s age, if you bought one of those as a parent back then, you didnt do anyone a favor (except the seller).

From what I remember it was also quite expensive so my parents never bought it for me, probably for the best.

One day, he told me that he had got me something special (for my 2600..which, was, as a system, WAAAY better than the showcased LCD machines, but was getting old)... He got me a Quickshot joystick (the type with finger and hat trigger, and 2 base buttons - all 4 buttons did the same thing obviously). I really did love that joystick, as it added a new dimension to (some) 2600 games, but I still longed for the arcade...I eventually built my own arcade (see my channel) and have never looked back since !

    My cousins had outrun when we were young.

    (9:30) I once bought the handle end of a _Flying Fighters_ toy at a Goodwill store, and had more fun with that. For those unfamiliar, it was essentially a plastic fighter jet, with a handle on the rear: the handle, designed to look like a flight stick, contained the batteries, a speaker that would produce a engine sound that changed depending upon how you moved the unit, and button that rocked left or right for gun or missile sounds.

    In the US during the 90's there was a magazine called "Penny Power" later renamed "Zillions" that reviewed toys the same way the parent company Consumer Reports reviewed home appliances and cars. The After Burner game was highlighted for being a stellar example of packaging over functionality, noting the discrepancy between the size of the device itself and the tiny LCD screen. I assume there were significant cost factors involved due to economies of scale, but for the tabletop sized games Tiger should have at least had a bigger screen than on the handheld version.

    When i was 8 and learning basic DC electrical circuits, i built a bigger wooden case for a tennis handheld game. I wired two pushbuttons. With better controls i could achieve better scores. Also attached a speaker where the piezo was and got louder sounds. This kind of mods made me happy and proud back in the days.

    I had two of the other games on that Argos catalogue page. The red and black F1 racing game, and the yellow and black vampire game. Both branded Systema. I have really fond early memories of the F1 LCD game, including it stopping working in primary school and being really upset. Another kid in the class managed to get it working again but without sound. Lol. I recently found it during lockdown and it's in my drawer of electronics to tinker with, so I'll be finding some little cell batteries for it and reliving the memories. I'm sure I'd have had this pre-92 when I got my master system, so I'd have only been maybe 5 when I got it. I had an Acorn Electron, so being able to have any sort of game portable to take to school was amazing to me. I also had the green Turtles Tiger game (one of the 'long' portrait ones) and a Super Mario watch. Oh and, flooding back into my memory, a helicopter Tiger LCD game too. Thunder Blade (also a Sega licence I believe). I'll be honest - I fully accept that these were hunks of plastic being sold at high profit margins based on good marketing. But I loved them for what they were at the time and would have spent hours with them and their simplicity. I remember getting sore thumbs. I can't hate them, as much as they deserve being belittled. As a child with an imagination they were all I really needed. And as a child obsessed with cars, one of those machines in this vid would have made me very happy indeed. Awful hunks of plastic, but they deserve their place in history. Gaming history. Childhood history. Thanks for reminding me about the good side of these things!
