Title: Tiger R-Zone
Post by: TL on November 03, 2012, 13:44:10 PM
So you thought that the Nintendo 3DS was the first handheld with 3D graphics did you?

Well you are mistaken!

Well before the big N released their machine there was the horror that is the Tiger Electronics R-Zone!

ha ha - how amazingly terrible and yet so collectable

amazing that Star Wars games were released for it (then given the Phantom Menace, maybe not....)

Holy chit!~!

I had one of these as a kid. Utter trash... the concept is cool but... the games are just soo bad..

Hell it might even be in the box with my gameboy/gamegear stuff sitting in storage...

Strange, I said to my fiance the other day that I had a weird batman game which was a headset and really straining on the eyes to play (my brother bought it for me as a kid).

Earlier today, I found it's called the R-Zone, and by sheer coincidence...I find this thread.

Personally, I thought this console was OK, but very simple and damn hurtful on the eyes!
