So who remembers the Game.com? Yeah? No? Well alright then, let me explain. In 1997 Tiger electronics came out with their own black and white handheld system named Game.com and in 1997 the Game.com failed. But these bad boys had a touch screen!! And you they could go online. Whoa! However in order to go online you had to buy a monthly service for the machine and plug it into it's own modem, but still that was pretty fascinating at the time. The internet was also text only. You know what? It wasn't interesting, it sucked then and it sucked now. There was also only a handful of games. They even had some pretty big franchises like Sonic, Resident Evil, Mortal Kombat, and Duke Nukem but they were all designed in house, meaning they were all designed by Tiger and not their original designers. So basically what I'm saying is that they all sucked and the system couldn't handle the games.

Man check out those pretty maids side by side each other. I also got my self a copy of Duke Nukem, Resident Evil 2, and some other games I don't remember. Hopefully I can't get this baby online soon and update the page from it.

Here's a commercial for the system



Apparently Tiger's calling everybody idiots really worked out well.
