However, as time went by, the company began to develop both handheld electronic games and educational type toys. What was prominent among the most famous of all their handheld electronic games and educational toys were the 2-XL robot who came out in 1992 and K28 in 1984. KG8 was Tiger’s Talking And Learning Computer. The K28 wasn’t just sold in the United States in K-mart and other chain stores. It was also an electronic device that was sold worldwide as well.
