===Brain Family=== {{Main|Brain Warp}} From 1994β1999, Tiger invented the Brain Family, which are a line of electronic handheld [[audio game]]s. In 1994, Tiger released the ''Brain Bash''. It has four inner purple buttons and four yellow buttons outside the unit. It features five game modes. Game One is called Touch Command, where the electronic voice issues a command like "one touch one" and the corresponding player has to press purple one and yellow one.<ref name=brainbash>{{cite web|title=Brain Bash |url=https://boardgamegeek.com/boardgame/13546/brain-bash|publisher=Board Game Geek|access-date=29 December 2015}}</ref> In 1996, Tiger released the ''Brain Warp''. This game is a spherical unit that has six colored knobs sticking out. There were three different revisions of the circuit board of Brain Warp resulting in audio changes and pitch differences. Two revisions were made in a blue base. Revision 2.0 has a different hidden sound sampling mode to the first revision. When Hasbro re-released Brain Warp in 2002, they took the programming from Revision 2.0 and placed it on a new circuit board with an enhanced speaker which reduced the loudness of the device. This game is very similar to [[Bop It]]. A voice that was recorded for the game says a color or a number, or a sequence of colors or numbers, or both depending on the game selected, and the correct knob must be shown facing upwards. In 1997, a ''[[Star Wars]]'' version called Death Star Escape was released. The game order is different and comes with six Star Wars characters.<ref name=brainwarp>{{cite web|title=Brain Warp|url=https://boardgamegeek.com/boardgame/13547/brain-warp|website=Board Game Geek|access-date=29 December 2015}}</ref> In 1998, Tiger released ''Brain Shift''. This game has six colored LED lights. It is known for its distinctive low pitched "Orange!" voice which is heard on the last color of a pattern in Stick Shift and in Memory Shift and Who Shifts It? The player has to use the stick shift to follow the voice commands. There is a memory game, and both Brain Shift and Brain Warp have a code buster game where the player has to find a certain number of colors in sixty seconds.<ref name=brainshift>{{cite web|title=Brain Shift - Board Game Geek|url=https://boardgamegeek.com/boardgame/134166/brain-shift|website= Board Game Geek|access-date=29 December 2015}}</ref> Some Brain Shift game units had a bad chip in the game which causes the game to mess up the audio on low batteries, and in rare cases, the voice in the game will start counting, going through a list of numbers and skipping a few.<ref name="fireworkdisplay">{{cite web |title=Brain Shift 2 minute 30 seconds Firework Display |url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ad3xSuBb1k4 |website=YouTube | date=15 June 2022 |access-date=20 August 2022}}</ref>
