Sonic the Hedgehog LCD Games Title
Portable, beepish, and difficult to tell what's going on!
That's all part of the experience when you play Sonic the Hedgehog LCD games. Low tech and cheap, they often have black digital-watch stuff over a vaguely colored background that never changes. As technology improves, these things may go extinct, so be sure to collect them now.
Sonic had quite a selection of mini nonsense games that you could buy for under $20.00. These were sold in the USA, but other countries had some of the same ones. You can view more mini games at My LCD Sonic Games Page.

Sonic 1 Tiger Electronics LCD Game This is one of the more common games. A larger Tiger Electronics Sonic 1 inspired piece, with the typical checkered background.
Notice that there's an arrow for jump up, but a button (it's giant!) that makes him spin. A departure from the usual controls. Gear does not own this, so it is not known how it plays or what sort of batteries you need.
Sonic 2 Tiger Electronics LCD Game Tiger did an LCD game for each of the first 3 Sonic titles on the genisis, so hre's Sonic 2. It looks like possibly Oil Ocean in the background. The button layout is the same as the first game. The art on this one looks slightly more sophisticated. You can also see what it looked like new, in the impossible to open without destroying the box, box. Unfortunatly, you can't read any of the text. Credit goes to Juni for the photos of all Tiger Handhelds 1-3. Sonic 2 LCD Game in Package
Sonic 3 LCD Game Portable Photo Here's the one for Sonic 3, complete with flaming pod-car Eggman stolen off the box art. The background for this one is the famous floor of the "3D" special stage where you went around collecting blue spheres. This one also has a new control-set up, with more buttons. Perhaps this one is more fun to play?
The "Amazing Sonic" Pocket Arcade LCD game. This has a 'pop-up' lid to cover the game screen so you could take it with you safely. (there was another Pocket Arcade Sonic with 'flip up lid') You can see the graphics on the back. This card says "Sonic & Robotnick are at it again. The Diabolical Dr. Robotnick has created a robot factory and it's up to Sonic to stop the metal mutants. Sonic works his way through maze-like rooms in an attempt to remove the Chaos Emeralds, the factory's only power source. Team up with Sonic through 12 levels of fast and furious action as he tries to put Dr. Robotnick out of buisness for good!

-Get rings to bust thru walls
-Watch out for electro-walls
-Find 3 Emeralds
Sonic Spinball LCD Game in Package Yes, even Sonic Spinball got an LCD game.
Again, by Tiger Electronics, you can see the art that's just about the same as the Spinball box for Genisis. You can't read the little text because the photo is too small. You can sort of see what might be going on, on the screen. How well does it replicate the Sonic Spinball experience? How well do you want it to?
For this one, it's back to two giant buttons, but a more textured case. Likely, the 2 big buttons control the flippers for the pinball action. This one isn't too common.
