Tiger Electronics Games
Tiger handheld LCD games were the best! They had a game for almost every cartoon including Power Rangers, Sonic the Hedgehog, and Full House. These bad boys were THE thing to have before the Gameboy hit the scene!

Skip-It
The Skip-It first hit the toy scene in the 80's. However, the "Skip-It Renaissance," as then CEO of Tiger Electronics called it, began in the 90's when they decided to put a counter on the toy to record the number of skips made. This opened up the doors for all kinds of backyard wars! Oh, the hours we spent with the Skip It!

Tamagotchi
If you didn't own a Tamagotchi, you weren't cool. The Tamagotchi was a handheld digital pet.

They're still sold today, but aren't appreciated like they were back in the 90s!
