Consoles Reborn Part 3: Tiger Electronics
Consoles Reborn is a what-if series that envisions modern-day consoles being released by companies that no longer make console hardware (Atari, Sega, Coleco, etc.).
Tiger Electronics made handheld games (mostly in the 90’s) which featured big name licenses like Mortal Kombat and Sonic the Hedgehog. I thought it would be fun to create a modern controller based on one of the handhelds, which would feature the famous capsule-shaped buttons that weren’t all that fun to use to be honest.

Not exactly offended… but, me & my brother had a Game Gear FIRST… *then* a Tiger “Golden Axe”… because they never released this game on a handheld! (At least, as far as we knew)
It was a surprisingly accurate rendition given that all the action had to work on a single game-and-watch type display. Burned through a few hours and sets of batteries. And of course, the main selling point is that it was cheaper than actually buying a new cartridge for the GG, let alone a whole other system. So one of us could play that (or one of the 3 or 4 other even cheaper LCD games we had) whilst the other got to use the expensive, double-A-chugging Sega.
Though of course if we were at home and one or other parent wasn’t using our ST for word processing or the like, we were both on there kicking each other’s ass at some 2-player game instead :-)
