Simple at first glance, it’s a little $20 pocket game that simulates – with as little hardware as possible – the game of Klondike. Radica Solitaire was a nifty little gadget. Radica Games were mainly known for stuff like 20Q and Cube World, as well as a popular line of bass fishing games, but the majority of their market was in LCD adaptations of tabletop games like Yahtzee, and approximately five billion different iterations of handheld Solitaire, one of which my family came to own back in 1999. And while it was no longer Tiger Electronics that supplied the majority of LCD games, they were no less ubiquitous, thanks to Radica Games…who had a very different lineup of LCDs than Tiger. The older Tiger games were largely built on the success of Nintendo’s Game & Watch series, so when Nintendo released the Game Boy in 1989, one would have expected Tiger to go down in the face of superior tech.īut somehow, the LCD game market continued to exist, even well into the first decade of the 2000s. The more nostalgic types my age would probably remember the Tiger Electronics handhelds that were usually shrunk-down, cheaper versions of full-size video games like OutRun, if not original works based on licenses like Doug. As recently as a decade ago, grocery store toy aisles tended to have sections dedicated to LCD handheld games. It’s a really awesome website.Here’s a tale that comes much more recently than you might expect.
