Handheld Game[]

An Electronic handheld game was released by Tiger Electronics in 1999. complete with the Narz-era theme and the 50s-70s logo. Like the '85 Orson Bean pilot, you matched words instead of prizes in order to reveal puzzle pieces from a 16-squared game board with no Wild Cards. NOTE: The relatively low-resolution screen meant the rebuses were usually oversimplified.
