TIGER GAME.COM!!!!

ulasamosa · Jul 18, 2006

Yeah thats right, I'm talking about the Game.com

anyone have any stories about how much they liked/hated this thing? I had one back in the day. Duke Nukem 3D on it actually wasnt half bad...wasnt there a Resident Evil game for this too? Did anyone else actually have a Game.com? Its ok, you dont have to be afraid to come forward....I mean you got it out of the Toys R' Us bargain bin right? no? tsk tsk tsk.....

I bought one in like the fifth grace since it was on sale for real cheap. I had problems with them a lot and had to return them, since it would lock up and weird stuff like that. Not to mention the screen had terrible ghosting.

I remember I'd play Lights Out on car trips, and the sound effect that went off at the end of a level sounded sort of like a blown tire flopping around, so my mom would get freaked out, lol.

lol i remember the commercials for this, they were horrible :oh_no:

I still want one.

I found mine in the snow about 10 years ago. I was walking to the bus stop and actually kinda tripped over it, picked it up, and still worked. It had lights out and some arcade classics game in it. Worst system evar.

When I spied the thread title in ALL CAPS, I was really hoping that the poster would be showing me how to get FREE TIGER GAME.COM!!!! How disappointed I was.

RGP · Jul 19, 2006

I had the the newer back lit smaller unit, most of the games inc Resident evil (I wondered at the time why the gbc version was canned, but this version allowed to come out) needless to say every game on it sucked.

SSS · Jul 19, 2006

hahaha..ugh

I had one of those. Lights out, Duke Nukem, Indy 500 and some other crap. Fighters Megamix was horrendous. I don't remember what I did with it. Probably traded it in for 10 bucks or something.

pixeljunkie · Jul 19, 2006

have one

awful

not one single positive thing I can say about it.

Castlevania for it was looking very promising though.

GeoStigma · Jul 19, 2006

I still have mine, just pulled it out of storage after reading this thread. xD

It still works and has Arcade Classics and Fighters Megamix in it. Arcade Classics was at least playable, Fighters Megamix was awful though. I think I'm going to ebay this damn this just to rid myself of it.

I barely remember the double dragon game or games for it. Not Castlevania, at the time when I saw it I was thinking who would buy this crappy system.

I have two, but then I have two of everything. :loco:

After checking ebay for this thing, yeah, its worthless. Maybe I could get someone to trade me a copy of The Super Spy for it. :P

Lets Gekiga In · Dec 18, 2006

I would really like to check one out sometime. Probably moreso just to have more handheld consoles, but I still want one.

RATM · Dec 18, 2006

The internet connectivity was revolutionary. I still use mine for managing all my business emails.

I have a nice shape Poket Pro with Resident Evil 2 if you want it.

Dolphin · Dec 18, 2006

I bought one of these on clearance long, long ago and it didn't last long before the screen inexplicably died. Total piece of junk.

Seconding this. You use the Serial Port modem and everything?

RevQuixo · Dec 23, 2006

Umm..seeing as the Game.com used a now defunct, subscription ISP that you had to use to access the service...I would say no, he isn't being serious.

Angel · Dec 26, 2006

am i the only person that enjoys their game.com? Yes most of the games suck. but what games are you all thinking about?? Yep. Everygame but...BOARD AND GAMESHOW GAMES!!!. Wheel of Fortune and Jeopardy are actually good, as is Scrabble. But you have to already like those games. everything else sucks big time, except resident evil II, that game is actually pretty good all things considered.

BTW: PixelJunkie, i'll take that pocket pro if you're serious about getting rid of it, would make a nice addition to my handheld collection.

redrum666 · Dec 26, 2006

i had one i trade my friend a fucked up gameboy for it he gave it to me with Lights out and Duke Nukem i bought Indy 500 for it at EB the game sucked big time but i did like the Lights out game i was kind of happy wane i read that Castlevania and metal gear and a WCW game where coming out for it but wane all 3 got caned and at the time on ebay you could get the system with like ever game that was out for it for $25 i was like i need to get rid of this shit and now a 2nd friend offered to trade me 007 TND for PS1 for it i was like take it and i never looked back he still calls me to tell about the new games he bought off of ebay and how bad they are :lol:

mblvshj · Jan 4, 2007

they wernt that bad, i enjoyed duke nukem on it and lights out sucked really bad(i think it came with it) i remember they released a smaller one and a target when i lived in iowa was selling them for 10 bucks b/c they were so desprate to get rid of them,wanted one to add to my collection of systems but i looked and they are like 39 bucks on almost any online site i go to,and they arnt worth it.....5-10 bucks would be about right id say
