Tiger Electronics Games — The LCD Handheld Giant
Tiger Electronics was the dominant manufacturer of licensed LCD handheld games throughout the late 1980s and 1990s — producing hundreds of titles based on popular video games, films, television series, and sports properties at price points well below dedicated game consoles. Founded in 1978 and eventually acquired by Hasbro in 1998, Tiger Electronics made its name by licensing the most popular entertainment properties of each era and producing affordable LCD versions that could be sold through toy stores, department stores, and general retailers worldwide.
Tiger’s formula was straightforward but highly effective: take a popular arcade game, film, or television franchise, create a fixed-graphic LCD game capturing its essential gameplay or theme, sell it for $10-$20 — a fraction of the cost of a Game Boy cartridge. Titles ranged from video game adaptations (Sonic the Hedgehog, Mortal Kombat, Street Fighter II, NBA Jam) to film tie-ins (Harry Potter, Tarzan, Star Wars) to sports games (FIFA 98, Daytona USA). The breadth of the collection’s Tiger Electronics holdings — spanning six display pages — documents Tiger’s extraordinary output and the remarkable range of licensed properties that passed through the company’s LCD game format.
