In the year 2000 after the Game.com came and went Tiger experimented with making a new generation of Handheld LCD games called "Tabletop Arcade games". The games themselves came in a console that was shaped like an arcade machine, had a detachable joystick (detached it would just be a d-pad), easily fit in your pocket, and had a pixel LCD screen.

The Pixel LCD effect was done by having a bunch of LCD pixels put together and as a result had way less graphical limitation and was capable of displaying a full game rather than a traditional LCD game which was extremely limited and primitive. This was used for the Game Boy, Tamagotchi series the Radica cube world series, and many more toys and systems.

The games themselves weren't arcade games per say but were mainly ports of various Dreamcast games (Like Sonic Adventure). The series had 5 games Q-Bert, NFL Blitz 2000, Ready 2 Rumble Boxing, Hydro Thunder and Sonic Adventure. All of them were ports of Dreamcast games of the same name. None of the games are easily available to the public anymore as they were taken out of circulation possibly around the time Tiger Electronics joined Hasbro and thus have not resurfaced since then. Most of the games have no gameplay footage or screenshots available leaving their gameplay a mystery But all the games (except NFL Blitz 2000) do have some images of the console it comes in with the game turned off. Sometimes still in the box.

Occasionally one of the games will briefly turn up on E-bay but usually will quickly be bought out by someone. One Youtuber by the name of "Tales From IDeath" has found a copy of Sonic Adventure and in 2014 uploaded a let's play video of it on YouTube, however, he has no intentions of releasing it anytime soon. This footage is regarded as the only footage of the sonic adventure game, or any of the "Tiger Tabletop Arcade" series on the internet.
