Scope and Contents

From the Collection:

This is a collection of folders and catalogs that video game publishers used to advertise their games. Based on the included information, it is unclear if these were intended for retailers or the press, possibly both, since they contain information about product ordering as well as general press releases. Unless otherwise noted, the original provenance of these folders is unclear.

Historical Note

This brochure was likely distributed at an English-language trade event, although the specific event is not known. The back cover of the brochure includes a space for a business card, meaning it was meant to be distributed to retailers and distributors rather than the general public.

This catalog was likely distributed around 2001. Tigergame exhibited at the Electronic Entertainment Expo from 2001–2004, and the products in this catalog match the description of their exhibit at E3 2001. Specifically, this catalog has products for the PlayStation 1, Dreamcast, and PlayStation 2; by E3 2002, Tigergame had stopped promoting their PS1 and Dreamcast products, as well as adding products for the GameCube and Xbox.

Abstract

This brochure promotes a variety of video game hardware from Tigergame Limited, a game hardware manufacturer and distributor based in China. Several of the products in this catalog are intended to facilitate piracy or circumvent digital lockouts, such as a metal spring used to bypass disc checks on the PlayStation, or a PlayStation 2 memory card containing modified firmware for the system's DVD player.
