Tiger Games. Look are the high resolution graphics!

Massive upgrade from football dots.

Did you read the story about Onlymarms and their science funding? :D

Original GameBoy wasn't much better. Way more expensive... The Double Dragon one came out in 88 or 89, while GameBoy came out in 89, but the prices were WAY different, obviously. Double Dragon was $14.99 to $19.99 in 89 GameBoy came out at a price of $89.95 in 89

Some people will do anything to take their favourite video games everywhere they go...

Thank God for the arcades. Those baby games were lame. Plus, at the arcade, you could hook up with a girl who could beat you at racing games.

I had Double Dragon. One of my favorites. The game is pretty deep. You have tons of moves, can pick up different weapons. Solid.

I had this!

I loved those! Had like 5 of them 😄

Double Dragon was so awesome!

Ah, the joys of being an '80s kid.

Honestly think I had this or knew someone with it ( 😆 ) and played it. But I definitely remember playing it as a kid

Those were terrible.

nostalgia hit

NOSTALGIA TSUNAMI. You just teleported me into the back seat of my parents buick 35 years ago... Thank you for this.

Jordan vs Bird was my go-to

Is that 240p? Righteous!!

Oh man! Did they have a baseball one too? I think I had the baseball one, if that was theirs

I remember this one

I literally played that exact game on that exact device.

We were living in the future! 😁

This was huge... when your friend had one of these, you stayed glued at the hip!

Graphics look crisp, but what's the actual gameplay loop here?

WOAH, NICE GRAPHICS, I'D LIKE TO GET MY HANDS ON THAT GAME

Exactly like the arcade.

I remember playing that...wow I totally forgot about it.

Holy shit, I remember those. I remember thinking that tech looked like magic, but now... 😂

When kids had to use their imaginations. I never liked games back then probably because my imagination is poor. Except I could and did imagine today’s AI back in ‘84. No one believed me. They thought I was odd. Probably today they are thinking “remember that kid who said AI could do this?”

This class of handheld was the gateway to understanding how all games work, and an initiatory push into curiosity about how to layer on complexity. As soon as you understood the player could select three positions with a simple pattern loop, disappointment fueled imagination.

While I love my collection of Tiger handhelds (and my Game and Watches) I would have killed for any of the rigs in the first part of that commercial.

I had Double Dragon on a floppy for the 286 omg

I had gauntlet. Man I loved that. We didn’t have much money so it was a huge deal to me.
