Buying Tiger Handheld LCD Games In The 90s - We Were Duped ! | Retro Mysteries

Remember those handheld LCD games that were everywhere in the 80s and 90s? The ones with those tinny sound effects that were packaged in thick plastic that was sharper than any razor blade. Now while many popular companies found success in this genre, it was Tiger Electronics who clearly stood at the top of the LCD food chain in the 90s. Tiger sold more than 25 million handheld games during this era. But how did Tiger move that many units despite fierce portable competition like Sega’s Game Gear and even the original Nintendo Game Boy? Well it definitely wasn’t the quality of the games. It was actually well calculated and borderline sleazy marketing tactics that got the job done. And I’m gonna share the specific strategies they used to dupe all of us into buying these glorified calclulators when we were kids. #TigerHandheldGames #TigerElectronics #LCDGames #90s
