Most of them are crap but Sonic 2 as I remember was ok. I also had Land of the Lost which was lame but playable

I love these things. I always wound up getting the really bad ones from charity shops and being envious of anyone who had a Batman or Sonic one.

The only one I had was Ninja Gaiden, which was decent for what it was. I had a ton of those cheap Radio Shack ones where you were just driving a car down the street or moving a tank across a bridge, though.

I remember liking the Power Rangers one and that one requiring an actual strategy. The Bucky O'Hare one was fun too with a great score, but I don't know if that was Tiger Electronics or another brand due to the different shape.

Check out AVGN’s rant about Tiger games. It’s hysterical…especially when he gets to the R-zone which is playing games in 3d with ONE eye watching the action mean8ng you would have to go cross eyed.

I had Police Academy. My AI partner kept letting the bad guys get away and costing me lives.

I had Ninja Gaiden when I was a kid, definitely one of my more played ones. I had a baseball one, think it was Konami, that was really fun. The only one I still have kicking around is a Die Hard one, and it’s not overly fun

Sorry to gravedig, but I just saw this post… But yes, even though the games weren’t that good, I have fond memories.
I spent a lot of time at my grandma’s around that time. She was not a fan of video games, so these were something of a lifeline for a boy in the late 80s/early 90s. Mega Man 3 and John Elway Quarterback were my go-tos.

I had Mega Man 2.
I remember liking it. Of course, I was like 8.
