i mean look at their history R-ZONE ? GAME.COM ? amongst others and then I was given free today a even worse abomination that makes the Game.com look great ! Its called Net Jet it is the worst console i have ever played in my whole life do you know why ? it came out in 2006 or 2007 was discontinued in late 2009 and the website server has shutdown forever on december 31 ,2009 it basically is a game console for the pc in this case pc should mean PIECE of CRAP cause thats all this thing is now and next to useless from what i heard you cant even hack it to use it as controller for real pc games ! how lame =p its not even worth it even if given free ! now it gets buried with other useless gaming junk in the desert somewhere like E.T Atari 2600
HAHA true this thing is so pointless right now ! the little game cartridges are just keys to unlocking the game on the internet and well the websites server has been down almost 3 years ! so pointless and pathetic it seriously makes the game.com look like a great handheld in comparison
Modem, touchscreen with stylus on a console? Yep. Though the touchscreen was a ridiculously poor touch sensor and the screen was a passive dot matrix which blurred and was ugly. I have one new in box and it'll probably stay that way though I recall someone bringing one to school when I was in the fifth grade.
Kinda off topic, but anybody remember those crappy Tiger Electronics LCD games from the 90s? Those SUCKED, so bad. Though the screen looked better than the Game.Com
game.com would have performed better if the games didn't try so hard. If they didn't try to cram Duke Nukem 3D and Resident Evil onto a tiny dot matrix screen and stuck to Gameboy style games...it could have been a contender.
I collect early VFD tabletop games and nintendo game & watch. The quality of those early 80s games were amazing and still fun to play today. If Tiger had not used LCD which is dirt cheap and spent even a little money on quality they would be far better remembered. I think a few of those tiger lcd games are worth money or maybe its the bandai ones that have actual value...
