Your video is very interesting. I like those LCD games and never have known how many of them existed, and how many variations they had (I like the silver screens the most). I have some of the Tiger Electronics ones, some mini sized Sonic themed ones, one of Battleship, etc., and it's cool to know more of them from other companies. It's a shame that your video has only 720p resolution. Me (and I suppose many people nowadays want to see in at least 1080p (or even 4K) for appreciate the details when we zoom-in what you are showing to the camera. I did that many times when watching it and always was disappointed because I can't see enough details. I really admire the size and variety of your collection.

That someone was me :) I was happily surprised to see this video, as I somehow hadn't noticed your replies to my comment. Really cool to see these models again, those were among the very first LCD games my friends had back in the day. I like how the brushed metal makes them look a bit more premium. The graphics of Plane & Tank are really fun to watch, I have the Radio Shack style model, still looking for one with the metal front. The one my friend had back then was red (not sure if it was silver or gold). The driving game has interesting gameplay with a slot machine and random items on the road (IIRC). My first LCD game was Cracksmen by Liwaco, which has very fast gameplay and is still enjoyable to play today. There was a whole set of these with the exact same gameplay but different themes. Casio made some nice LCD games as well.

I remember the very first versions of these games (at least Plane & Tank, Space Alien and the driving game) were rounded versions, with round action buttons and a brushed metal covered button panel (somewhat similar to G&W games). They are hard to find now and I never see them in a good state. Also, AFAIK we didn't have Radio Shack stores in the Netherlands, but we did have at least one Tandy store, that I have visited. So maybe the Tandy rebranding is a foreign thing.

The screen itself could be bad. Even on the later standardized Tiger LCDs in the 80s and 90s--you know that style--they fail, resulting in missing segments / characters. It could be poor quality similarly in these earlier screens, though, I believe this is a different technology, namely VFD. Maybe you could reflow the solder, using some flux as well, around the points on the PCB where the screen makes contact. It could be that some of the joints are "cold." Obviously heat from the soldering iron near the glass and plastic is risky, so I would be interested in the technique you employ to avoid damage. Kindly share that, if you do end up reflowing the solder. I'm not sure how that screen is making contact with the solder points on the PCB, like how does electricity move into the circuit. Maybe the contact points on the screen are dirty. Maybe you could use a lint free cloth and contact cleaner to rub the edges of the screen where it touches the contacts below. Something like BW-100 has worked for various projects of mine. Would you kindly film any followups?
@WhatsOnMyShelf2 ай бұрын
Also, one other thing about soldering on old PCB like this, they can burn and lift pads easily. I noticed early 80s stuff and previous have this problem, particularly when I've fixed Atari items. Maybe raise soldering iron temp slowly and just enough to start melting the solder and don't let the iron sit too long.
@lindaguillory78022 ай бұрын
@WhatsOnMyShelf I do like finding a cold solder joint. Those are so satisfying. 😀 Unlikely in this case, though. I may have some pictures and can post a short video of the board, but I've moved on. A boxed Monster Maze is hard to find, and that one is up for sale/trade (arm&leg), so I didn't want to mess around with it too much. I pull out an unboxed Tiger Jawbreaker that I'm willing to do more experiments on. I think you may be right that it could be the screen. Honestly, I wanted to play around with the potentiometer more, but since I don't have a replacement one, I didn't want to risk damaging it.
@WhatsOnMyShelf2 ай бұрын
@@lindaguillory7802 I understand not wanting to fool around with the solder. With Sega systems, I've found that the solder goes bad on the AV, power port, and controller ports and they don't visibly look bad. Reflowing the solder works every time.

Well that was interesting. It certainly helped tho because I could actually see what was going on! Enough that I could actually play it!

Awesome video! And some great games! For the tiger monster maze the reason it looks wierd is because it only has 1 polarizing film. I think if you got one or two more and covered the screen it would look waaay better. Also the capacitors going bad could make the screen dimmer over time. Lastly tiger’s big screen pac man uses the same chip except it plays the pac man theme at the end and has pac man and ghosts but the sound and the layout is the same. Hope this helps!
