IF TIGER LCD GAMES GOT OUT OF HANd

Though responsible for giving the world the Furby, Giga Pets, and the 2-XL robot toy thing, Tiger is perhaps best known for its line of handheld, electronic, LCD games.

Fact is, Tiger produced more handheld games than even Nintendo, banking on the potential marketability of its licenses, rather than the quality of its games. As well as handheld versions of popular game franchises, including Sonic, Street Fighter II and Duke Nukem 3D, it also based games on more unlikely properties, including MC Hammer, Ed Grimley (no idea) and Dr Fad (even less idea).

If you follow me on Twitter, you'll have noticed that I've been having fun imagining what Tiger's output would've been like if the quality control of its licensing ran rampant.

Here's a gallery.

I still think Threads is my favourite.

I do remember playing the Sonic one to death. It wasn't bad, in that limited way those handhelds were.

Clippy didn't exist in the Windows 95 era, so you f**ked that one up, you great big shandy! It arrived with Office 97. Honestly, if you carry on like this I'll have to go elsewhere for my retro silliness.

I could never manage to avoid the car in the final level of the One Foot in the Grave one.

I re-watched Ghostwatch the other day and scoffed at hokey it was and how foolish I had been to let it absolutely terrify me when I was a kid.

But later that night while sitting alone on the toilet I did get what can only be described as 'the willies'. It's still got it!

The first one of these I saw was the One Foot In The Grave one, and for more than a fleeting moment, I thought it was real, if a little weird. In my defence, someone made a real game of Eastenders on the speccy, so it's not that far fetched!

This kind of thing cracks me up, really funny, way prefer it to the videos personally, I wish you were just into making this kind of thing and couldn't be arsed with videos! I also wish you could make good money from stuff like this too. So many wishes, and no blue Will Smith around to make them come true.

PS love the massive action button for old people on the One Foot in the Grave game.
