    With that one commercial, Tiger made the "Make the Bad Guys Cry like an Anime Fan on Prom Night" line from Mighty No. 9's Masterclass trailer look tame.

    • @derpydood
      @derpydood 3 года назад +301

      While Mighty no. 9's played on a stereotype that could be insulting to anime fans, an anime fan could still get a grin out of it if they weren't too sensitive it. Even "John Romero's gonna make you his bitch" had an edgy attitude to it. "It's got more games than you've got brain cells" just comes off as a lame playground insult.

You would get killed by obstacles and spikes all the time if you didnt turn off music and sound to play in silence. Thats the only way the game would run right

      No, it was designed to do exactly one thing. Wring the last bit of value out of the licenses they held. Tiger handhelds were nearly dead for anything other than kids licensed stuff (Disney, Barbie, etc). Tiger still held the licenses to a bunch of popular game series so they designed this as a final cash in before that market completely died. This was not designed as a game console, this was designed as a means to cash in on licensing deals.

      “Quiz Wiz” was the Game Com version of the original handheld game that it was made by Coleco back in 1978 (the year I was born). It was a pretty fun game filled thousands of trivia questions, just like being in a game show. And that when game shows became more popular back in the 1960’s through the 1980’s. By the 1990’s, Tiger acquired the name and re-released “Quiz Wiz” during that time.

    I miss internet in the 90's simply because it was so freakin' easy to extend your "free trial". Just before a billing cycle I'd call AOL and ask to cancel and when they'd ask (they always did) why I was cancelling I'd simply say I couldn't afford it. Every time they would give me a three month extension. I had free internet for nearly a decade before AOL was just outright obsolete.

      Yeah this thing was absolute trash but some of Shane’s criticisms make no sense. He implied the double slots was useless because it can’t play two games at once?? What does that even mean how does one play two games on one screen? Almost def for storage and that’s a great idea. And he was criticizing the lack of backlit screen, knowing full well people will bring up the gameboy wasn’t backlit either but that’s a decade older so tiger has no excuse. Which would make sense except gameboy didn’t add backlit screens until the GB Advance SP which is years after this console came out.

    If, in the mid 90s, there was a Game Boy that could holster two cartridges at once, I would have bought it. Being able to switch between two games would have been fantastic, instead of carrying around an entire carrying case or keeping a game in my pocket.

      @@oz_jones Just take a bit of tape and stick a second cartridge to the back of your gameboy?... Due to the way the cartridges work, you'd have to reset the gameboy anyway to switch so no loading/saving game-states anyway.
      This way you have all the (one) benefit of having 2 cartridges while also having a gameboy that takes up slightly less space compared to a gameboy with two internal slots...
      And best of all? If you want to go insane with it you could just tape a third or, god forbid, fourth cartridge to it.
