Tiger Electronics, also known as Tiger and Tiger Toys, is an American toy manufacturer that is well known for their LCD handheld games. In 1998 the company became a subsidiary of Hasbro. The company released two Mega Man LCD games based on Mega Man 2 and Mega Man 3, released in 1990 and 1991, respectively.
Objective of the games[]
Mega Man 2: (from the instruction manual)
There are 8 stages of battle. Each stage is fought against robots, monsters, and other lowlifes. Mega Man can choose his robot opponent in stages 1-6, but ultimately he must face them all. He also chooses his weapons. you control Mega Man. After defeating each robot, you acquire the weapon that particular robot was using against you. You lose "life" bars when hit by an enemy or falling off a platform. If you use up all your "life" bars, the game is over. You win the game by advancing to stage 8 where you must fight and then defeat Dr. Wily.
Mega Man 3 follows the same pattern, having 7 stages instead of 8.

Dr. Wily is back with an arsenal of robots so strong, so devasting, that the entire universe is in peril.
The robots are Snake Man (S), Gemini Man (G), Needle Man (N), Shadow Man (SH), Spark Man (SP), and Magnet Man (M). These Wily creations plus the other enemies he has unleashed have such power that only Mega Man can defeat them.
