TimeBandit Posted July 10, 2006 Share Posted July 10, 2006 i dont know if there is anyone as old as me and remember the golden age with those kinda pocket gamesI remember pocket games and actually had one called "Space Station." If I remember correctly, it was like Kaboom where you had to shoot falling aliens before they reached the planet or something like that. All I knew back then was that it kept me entertained in the car on those long rides. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smiff Posted July 10, 2006 Share Posted July 10, 2006 that is Game & Watch. i used to have Squish. it would now be worth something, which is annoying because then it wasn't. now how is this on topic? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hansolo77 Posted July 10, 2006 Share Posted July 10, 2006 Oh yeah.. I used to own a bunch of those Tiger games... Baseball, Pinball, Speedboat, Star Trek The Next Generation, a Star Wars game made out of the Millenium Falcon, Lights Out, and a few others I can't remember. In fact, I still remember my Babeball game, and how I played it so much that I could make a home run in the dark just by listening to the sound of the ball coming. I knew exactly when to hit! It'd be AWESOME if there was an emulataor to play those old Tiger handhelds... A buddy of mine had a Ninja Turtles game, a BoVsBo Baseball/Football game... And I even had a REALLY SUPER OLD black box with red LEDS that played baseball.EDIT:Hehe, here are some pictures to what I was talking about....http://www.handheldmuseum.com/Tiger/Tiger-...nicBaseball.jpghttp://www.handheldmuseum.com/Tiger/Tiger-...allBaseball.jpghttp://www.handheldmuseum.com/Tiger/Tiger-Pinball.jpghttp://www.handheldmuseum.com/Tiger/Tiger-SpeedBoat.jpghttp://www.handheldmuseum.com/Tiger/Tiger-StarTrekTNG.jpghttp://www.handheldmuseum.com/Tiger/Tiger-...rialAssault.jpg (mine is inside a model Falcon) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

headkaze Posted July 10, 2006 Share Posted July 10, 2006 Believe it or not there are quite a few Game & Watch emulators for PC, do a search on Google. Also a few remakes have been made for GBA, so you could play them through Visual Boy Advance if you really wanted too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tom Speirs Posted July 10, 2006 Share Posted July 10, 2006 I had a good few when I was a kid.I was particluarly keen on the Coleco ones. They were arcade games and designed and looked like the original arcade cabinet with the artwork etc, but ovbiously small.I had Donkey Kong and Pacman. Galaxians was another one available, and not sure but think maybe Frogger.Of course theyd be worth something now too I guess. Although my mum though them out at some stage!The best handheld I ever saw was Defender. It was sega gamegear/lynx style in shape, but I remember my friend having it. The thing with it, was it was incredibly playable. To me at the time, near on as good as the arcade.Thanks a lot for sharing that Night, and Smiff you need to chill a bit about off topic posts . They have the Donkey Kong I had on there. Also about 3 others I remember playing as a kid. Spent a transatlantic flight playing Dungeons & Dragons' and totally forgot that I used to have Galaxy Wars. Right I've finished work for the day I think! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hansolo77 Posted July 10, 2006 Share Posted July 10, 2006 Turns out there probably won't be any emulators for these. After doing a little research, it looks like they're only "simulatable". The chips were too small or something to create an emulator for. And becides, they're all LCD's with an element turning on or off the different 'burned in' graphics. To make an emulator, you would have to use the rom chip and a collection of sprites or something. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Burchman82 Posted July 11, 2006 Share Posted July 11, 2006 ok, so these games wont ever be "emulated" but is there a way to put those games into gamex now? i see you can control them with the keyboard, but some mouse movement is required to choose "gameA" and to open the foldout games.
