The Q*bert system
Status: Partially Lost
After the Game.com came out in 2000, Tiger experimented with a new generation of LCD games called "Tabletop Arcade Games. The games came in a small pocket-sized console with a detachable joystick and LCD screen
The screen was created in a similar manner to the Game Boy, Tamagotchi, and Radica cube world. Small LCD pixels were placed next to each other and would light up in succession to simulate animation and movement. This was a step up from Tiger's earlier LCD games, which only could display static images that lit up one at a time.
The games themselves were not ports of arcade games (like the name implies), but instead of Dreamcast games.There were five games in the series, Q*bert, NFL Blitz 2000, Ready 2 Rumble Boxing, Hydro Thunder, and Sonic Adventure. Each of these has a Dreamcast counterpart of the same name.
None of the games are easily available at present, as they were taken out of circulation at around the time Tiger Electronics was bought by Hasbro. Occasionally, one of the games will appear on Ebay but will quickly be bought by someone else. Each of the games has pictures of themselves but only two have gameplay footage online.
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. The user SSBPeridot has also found an NFL Blitz 2000 one and has uploaded a video to youtube.
The Youtuber "Tales from IDeath" has uploaded footage of Sonic Adventure, and the user SSBPeridot has uploaded footage of NFL Blitz 2000.
