Funny thought...

How in the name of everything holy and unholy does a tiger game work?
It’s so awful, but how do they even work? CPU? Switches?

Not sure if this is what you want know, but here is a Tiger LCD game repair video. This also shows how they work.

That’s a gamecom system. I think that came after the ones I’m asking about. Like the ones you’d buy and it would have just one game.

The Tiger handheld games (called MAXes afaik) all used a Sharp SM5 microprocessor that used a series of shift registers for the controls, to simplify the number of inputs. It then piped it into the game and the CPU found out if it was a late or early press and did what it needed to accordingly.

That is incredibly helpful, any devices that would be on the same specs as a tiger LCD handheld?
(like an alarm clock? A ti 8X calculator? (to name possible examples))
