I never got these.  I always felt like they were crap.  These things are a perfect example of a good concept that is poorly executed.

I've a handful of these that I bought as a job lot for under a tenner via ebay a few years ago. I have,

After Burner
Dinosaurs!
OutRun
Paperboy
Sonic The Hedgehog
The Terminator

I won't be viewing AVGN's video as he's a waste of space as far as I'm concerned.

It bemuses me that the received wisdom of the teh internets seems to hold a low regard for the LCD dedicated handhelds of Tiger Electronics while being so keen to laud the Nintendo Game & Watch series...

I like Wall Street Kid. Wrist games are great looking!

I remember old GamePro magazines not helping either. Seems like each month they featured a page or two about Tiger handheld games.

I think Ashen's deals with these things better so i found the episode "meh" sadly

I'm clearly in the minority and thats fine :)

Acclaim seemed to want a piece of the pie as well.
