ELI5: Explain Like I'm 5

Tiger Electronics

So, you know how you like to play with electronic toys like your tablet and video games? Well, Tiger Electronics made toys like that too, but they were special because they didn't need cartridges or CDs like most video games.

Instead, Tiger Electronics made handheld games that had all the games built right into them! You could play games like Sonic the Hedgehog, Mighty Morphin Power Rangers, and even Disney characters like Beauty and the Beast and The Lion King.

These toys were really cool because they were small enough to fit in your pocket or backpack, so you could bring them with you wherever you went. And they didn't need any internet connection or batteries, they just needed a few buttons and a small screen on the front.

Tiger Electronics toys were really popular in the 1990s and early 2000s, and lots of kids loved them. They were a fun way to pass the time and keep you entertained, even when you were on a long car ride or waiting at the doctor's office.
