I think this'll get some interesting discussion. What handheld do you think is the worst ever? I'd argue that anything without a decent playable game must top the chart, but that's just me. Most systems have at least one decent game.

I haven't played them all, but I hated the Game Gear... washed out backlighting, huge/heavy system, and poor battery life. Not my cup o tea.

Game.com is the worst handheld ever, no comparison whatsoever.

True that. I have a Game.com. Anyone want to buy? its about twice the size the size of a Neo Geo with 2 colours and picture sso fuzzy and unclear it will hurt your eyes.

Oh, I also have a Batman and Robin game.

Oh, and let me just congratulate Tiger on making a crappy game that was even crappier than the crappy movie it was based upon.

I've never played a Game.com, so instead, I voted for the most rediculous piece of junk, the Nokia NGage.

Game.com - and here's why

Virtual Boy - Tried to innovate, didn't really work, but has at least two fun games.

NGage - a semi-well made system with a few HUGE design flaws, some good games and decent hardware. HORRIBLE price though.



There's just nothing good about the Game.com. Nothing.

Three way tie for the Ngage, Virtual Boy, and the Game.com

Ngage: what happenes when you combine, a bad gaming system, a bad cell phone, and a bad PDA thingy? You get a steaming pile of shit.

Virtual Boy: a bairly portable system that has only two fun games and gives you skull spliting headaches. Fun.

Game.com: a system that tried to everything gameboy already did but did it worse, no good games that I could remember, dumb name, and insulting advertising (remember that asshole dwarf telling us we were L0Z3R$ for playing on gameboy)

Since I could only vote for one I went for Virtual Boy because that is the one I got to play the most.

Also, did anyone get the Turbo Graphix 16 (PC engine, yeah yeah I know) handheld, the handheld system that was more expensive than the console?

Virtual boy isn't a handheld, it's a portable. Pedantry ho!

And honestly, it's a fairly sad tie between the n-gage and the game.com

n-gage


gamecom was bad, i mean really bad (my friend has one and wont even power it up he said it was so bad...ill have to get him to let me try it once)

but n-gage is like the hindenburg disaster of handhelds.


Game gear by todays standard sucks, but it was cool to have backlight back then.

Bluevoodu has some for sale, I have some for sale here:


NGPC Games, Console and Accessories for Sale

And your other option is eBay for some loose cart only games.

Tiger game.com was pretty bad, but I don't know if it can match the flop of the N-Gage.

NGage all the way man. Worst system. You have to take off the back of the unit and the battery to change the game. WTF? And you look like a retard talking on it. Plus it's ridiculously expensive and just boasts a lot of playstation and GBA ports. Whoopte-shit.

The game.com shouldn't even count it's so horrible.

I wanted to vote for the N-Gage, but at least it's playable with a nice color screen, and a few decent games. The Game.com is a worthless pile with the worst screen I have ever seen. I don't think I liked any of the games I played for it, even the VB had some good games.

Yeah, well the poll is worst handheld genius. Gameboy is NOT the worst handheld, and if you choose it over shit like N-Gauge or that Tiger game then you're nothing more than a blithering idiot.
