Oldest Tiger Electronics Handhelds

Blue007

Does anyone know what the oldest and rarest Tiger Electronics Handhelds are? I have been collecting for several years now and have some games that I have never seen on the site. Any input would be nice.

I have some of the following:

Sonic Hedgehog Pinball
Bugs Bunny
The Swamp Thing
The Little Mermaid
Baseball All Stars
Bowling
Baseball
The Lion King
Peter Pan
Captain Planet
Muppets
Chip N Dale
Gargoyles
Double Dragon 3 Rosetta Stone
Inspector Gadget
Beauty and the Beast
Toy story
The Addams Family
MC Hammer
Wheel of Fortune Slots
Jeopardy
Home Alone 2
Power Rangers
Barbie Pinball
Batman
Spiderman
Mickey Mouse
Looney Tunes
Battletoads

All together I probably have around 50 games or so but I can't seem to locate the one box with my other games. Some are open, with manuals, or sealed. I can't remember all of them! I also have several of the watches, but I stored them separately. I would attach a photo but I don't have a URL and I don't know how to upload it to the message. Does anyone else know of any other rarities? I believe other most sought after games are Snake's Revenge and Simon's Quest.

Well, the reason those aren't on the site is that they are all part of the 'newer generation' of handheld games that I don't really follow. I have some, and there's several on the site of course, but no where near all of them... In general, they look like this:

Those were all made in the late 80's/early 90's, and most of them aren't worth much (and the ones that are have a value because of the game itself, not rarity, like the Castlevania... Although I suppose it's harder to find since more people collect it) My site officially stops at about 1984 (although there are some newer games listed...).

The real old/rare Tiger LCD games are the early 80's models like these:

Or the table top games:

Stuff like that. Or even older is the LED games... That's the stuff that's the rarest (and of course, the oldest). The LED games are from 1978-1979 and such..

I thought there was someone that had a huge list of all of these white-cased Tiger games, but I can't seem to find it now...

I have some of these. I don't know about the oldest but I believe this is the rarest:

And there's probably a very good reason for that... Mr. Green

I can't remember...I think it was a lot though. Purchased it a few years ago. I stopped collecting.

Actually I've seen MC Hammer on ebay. Both loose and sealed. Prices are high even just for the loose one.

It's on my ebay watch list, but not many turn up. I'll bid on one if it turns up.

MC Hammer loose is not that rare. it pops up on ebay maybe 3-4 times a year.
