Product Description

In 1997, Tiger Electronics, Ltd. diverged from their traditional line of pocket sized LCD games and made a programmable system. What they came up with was the . The original Game dot Com as shown above featured two cartridge slots on the right side for placing games. Both could be utilized at start up, as the systjavascript:addMatchToIgnoredWords("product_description"); javascript:addMatchToIgnoredWords("product_description");em asked the user which cartridge they would like to play. The system came with a limited speech function. The unit also used a stylus pen with a touch based screen for their system functions. Functions programmed in the system included a calender, calculator, address book, and solitaire. The system could also keep and manage the user's high scores.

The [...] was a system I bought back when it was new. It had alot of good new features. Like the touch screen and the twin game port. And I will say this system is built well. Durable, and never I have never had a problem with it working. That being said. This system isn't color, though in 97 Game Gear still was the only system to be. The system did show great detail on its games. Which is why I wanted it. Little did I know the games are choppy. Some to the point that its very annoying. This was something very typical of Tiger. They had solo portable games that featured a crappy fixed screen and put a little character that could be moved. The animation was terrible and choppy. So this shouldn't a surprise that this is choppy. It wasn't around for long but did get some notable titles that include Sonic, The Lost World, Resident Evil 2(the last title to my knowledge for the system), Mortal Kombat Trilogy, and Fighting Vipers. These are the worst ports for these games, but if you're interested it is worth checking out. I guess cause its rare, it failed and is a 8bit system trying to take on 32bit games. I think this is a system that will go up in value as well. Because it is so different. As a game system I would recomend a PSP. Tiger had a good idea, but like normal the failed.
