Karnov LCD (Tiger Electronics) gameplay

For those of you who want to see the action of this bad boy. I just picked it up and played for a minute.

And for those who don't know Karnov, it's an old arcade game that has quite a cult following. The most well know version is the Nintendo NES port, which is way more fun than it should be. Pick it up if you've got an NES.

Good video! I still have my tiger electronics batman game somewhere around. My cousin had this one. I think the NES version is very good. Cheers!

[NESJohnny]

Awesome! I like the NES version a lot too--if you like Karnov, be sure to check the links in more info, especially karnovcircus and playthenes!

It's funny that these used to compete with Game Boy huh?

I remember playing these old tiger games. They were usually just plain confusing, and it was really hard to see what was on the screen.

[NESJohnny]

Yeah, that's the truth. It was hard to make a video with my camera where you could actually see the screen and action. No wonder gameboy killed when it came out!

[Moshpitdisciple]

Fuck yeah. 5 stars + favorited

I have this game. It is unbearably hard. At some point you get to shoot a diamond shaped object that is apparently the boomerang from the NES game. I hate this game, but I love it too :(

Where can I get one?

[macrobioticman]

Tip for all those playing, tape down the shield button. It's v difficult, to control everything and still use the shield which on some more intense levels is needed a lot, if you don't do this you will find you end up with pain in the thumbs lol

[macrobioticman]

I loved this game. I played it so much I got txt thumb lol, and that was back in 1991, I loved all the levels so diverse for an LCD game. I beat it several times, the end boss is a big T- Rex. The noises did my Dads head in tho lol

i slowly destroyed my copy as a kid. can i buy yours?

[Toasty667]

OMG I used to have this! Loved it at the time. Could never get past the water level.

[TacoGer08]

This was the first game I ever played!! Loved it!! Must have taken me about 2 years to complete. Unforgiving game, will have to try get me one for old time sake.

I had this game but it was stolen from my cubby in 5th grade.

Karnov had a Tiger handheld? Know I know....

At my very best, I got to level 4 or 5 and I lost miserably. After some research I found out there is 9 levels, which is outrageously ridiculous considering how hard the game gets. After that, I never played it again. In fact, I get irritated just holding it.

@reptilianshifter
