In the Year 2000, Tiger Electronics released a series of Pixel LCD games under the brand 'Arcade Games', which all resembled arcade cabinets. They were small enough to play in the hand or serve as a tabletop device. The tops of each game could close down for easy storage and portability. Each of their 'Arcade Games' had a detachable joystick, A-D labelled buttons and additional buttons to pause the game, reset the game, toggle the sound and toggle the games on/off.

So why is the word *Dreamcast* in asterisks? Because all of the titles in the 'Arcade Games' series were those that were released on the Dreamcast- Q-Bert, NFL Blitz 2000, Ready 2 Rumble Boxing, Hydro Thunder and Sonic Adventure- essentially making these Dreamcast handheld ports. Thanks to the display (which was similar to Tiger's Game.com tech), all the games were capable of displaying various animations, multiple stages, enemies, etc. They even had genuine sound effects taken straight from the original Dreamcast Games! :shock:

I wanted to know if anyone here owns these unique Tiger games and if so, what do you think of them- are they still enjoyable games despite their limitations? How much content from the original games were they able to port over to these devices? What is their replay value? And, if you do own any are you willing to share photos and/or post videos of them in action?

I'm sure you guys all know about the Sonic Adventure one, but if not here's a link to some information on the device Sonic Adventure (LCD game) - Sonic Retro, as well as a video showing gameplay. For a Tiger Handheld, it's not a bad novelty piece!

I happen to have the Q-Bert game and that took a while to attain. Overall they're quite hard to come by and besides Sonic Adventure, there's very little information about these games on the internet, so I think they're unique and rare enough to warrant the interest. :)
