LGR - Tiger Electronic Baseball Review
video description
But for me smartphones have ruined the handheld game market, I have every game boy version from the original grey gb through to 3ds. A game gear, an ngp. Handheld gaming is my favourite. Multiple psp versions, both vitas, a dingoo a320 pawed, even an Archos gamepad 2 and the ill fated gamegadget LOL. I wish phones just stayed as phones. All the free to play crap just annoys me.

I had three LCD games back in the day. First one was a Sonic Spinball LCD game made by Tiger Electronics and that was the only way to play Sonic on the go for me until I got my Nintendo DS back in 2005. Second was a Nascar Racer LCD game made by Radica which was okay and had a rumble feature which impressed me back then. The last one I got was a Sport Bass Fishing LCD game also made by Radica which I was not a big fan of and the only good thing about it was that I could use it as a club. Now I've got a Nintendo DS, a 3DS, and an Android smartphone to play better games on the go.

I loved Tiger games as a kid. I didn't have a computer or any game consoles until I was about 11. But I remember my parents buy me some of these for birthdays and Christmas. Like you, my birthday is about a week before Christmas so one year I got a couple. I got Pinball and Bowling. My brother got Baseball. I played the hell out of those. The next year I got OutRun and Strider. I'e always been curious to try more of them. I still have them all to this day and play them all the time. Loved the video. I brought back a lot of memories. I'm going to have to get those out and play them.

When I was a kid and still had the first Nintendo Game Boy, I also had Tiger Electronic Baseball along with Skeet Shoot. I managed to hang on to my original Tiger Baseball handheld game from 1987 and ended up buying Skeet Shoot back last year. Now I collect classic Tiger LCD handheld games and most of them have been fun to play even though I'm 30 and there's better technology available. I was hoping that Tiger would re-release their retro LCD handheld games because the 1990s craze seems to be sweeping the nation, but it looks like they may not. Anyway, great video!

You know what I hate? LCD games emulators (especially G&W) that show the shadows of inactive sprites during gameplay. Seriously, play Game & Watch Gallery 4: there constantly are the shadows of all sprites, with the active ones highlighting. That's supposed to be a realistic representation of a flaw in the consoles, but it's bullcrap: the sprites are only visible when lit, unless you tilt the console very much, like you showed!
I know this comes out of nowhere, but it drives me mad how people throw crap at older games attributing to them flaws they never had.

Ahh I remember these games! It would always take a lot of pleading on my part to my sister so she would let me play them. These games were always great to get sucked into.
I don't know if you've been on the strip at myrtle beach but this game reminds me of the vintage baseball machines in some of the arcades, where all you do is swing a paddle and try to get the ball into corresponding holes to make the batters run the bases. I always loved that game, get a stack of quarters and watch the time fly.
Thanks for helping me relive my childhood yet again: -)

Handhelds in my day began and ended with Mattel. Though I could take or leave their Basketball and Baseball, Electronic Football reigned supreme in my elementary school. Teachers would invariably confiscate them, but first they had to catch us. If that wasn't enough, Electronic Football 2 followed, which allowed backwards movement and oh-my-freaking-god-passing! Mind blown. Never mind that players were represented by red LEDs -it was a fantastic game that I wish they would reissue along with their other retro offerings.

Great trip down the nostalgia lane: ) I had two of these LCD games. One where you were a samurai, having to stop ninjas from invading your castle. You done this by let them bounce on your sword till the end the screen.
And one with a submarine, having to dodge torpedo's and shoot at enemies. Really hard game that i never got to understand. but loved it as a kid.
Though i was lucky to have a gameboy and that one was my loyal gaming friend from the age of 8 till 18 when i finally got to buy myself a GBA.

Oooh! I had a few of those! Not the Tiger ones (never heard of those, probably because I lived in Norway at the time and American sports were nearly unheard of in the early 80s, out in the country. But I had a few of the Game & Watch ones, which I played the heck out of every time I managed to convince my parents to buy me new batteries for them. We did not have a computer to play on, so my friends and I would share these games and play for hours on end. :)

I think it MIGHT be Tiger Electronics, but I'm unsure, but I had a Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (Based on the 80's cartoon, natch) one, which featured actual -stages- from street to Technodrome, and you had to pick one of four turtles (ie, lives) and counter enemy attacks from four sides. Down left, up left, up right and France.
.
France MIGHT be down right, I'm unsure. It's been a long time.
