From the FAQ:
Game.com (1997, Tiger) #71-516; 4AA; lcd; 1P; C ; CS

Game.com is the newest system in the handheld video game "wars". It features a black and white LCD touchscreen and is roughly comparable to an 8-bit Gameboy. Game.com comes packed with 1 cartridge , a "pen" to use on the touchscreen and the following built in features:

Cartridge	Allows you to access cartridge software.
Phone Book	Retreive stored phone numbers, addresses and e-mail addresses.
Calendar	It's a calendar! Keep track of the days...
Calculator	Add and subtract numbers or make up words like 77345 (Shell upside down and backwards :) ).
High Score	View the stored high scores of all the games that have been played on the unit.
Solitaire	Play a special touch screen version of the popular single player game.

All for a retail price of $69.99!

Of the features, the most important in terms of success for the system is it's cartridge port. The cartridge port allows you to buy seperate cartridges to play games, access the internet (text based pages only) and e-mail, etc., without having to buy a whole new system. Cartridges range in price from $19.95 to $29.95 and come in their own little box. The possibilities are really endless! The other features, while great to have included, have for the most part, been done before on other handheld devices. The Phone book, Calculator and Calendar portions are previously done in several other devices, some even made by Tiger. But, if you want all these features in one package, this is the unit for you.

The buttons on the unit are well placed for both handheld use and tabletop use. I do have a bit of a problem with the on/off button, as it's recessed too much, but it wouldn't be fun if you were playing a hot and heavy game and hit it by accident, so I can see why it is like that. The touchscreen is absolutely amazing! I was very impressed at the speed in which the unit responded upon hitting a "button" on the touchscreen. There is no lag at all! Overall, the face of the unit is well laid out for both accessing the internet and playing those fast action games.

At the time of writing, a few cartridges have been released, several more are "coming soon" and the line-up is nothing but what Tiger is known for -- popular licenses. It remains to be seen whether the software plays well or not, but from the looks of the pictures in the catalog, the games are certainly going to look good if nothing else! Look at the detail on this shot of Sonic Jam . Clearly, you can see the detail of the character and the backgrounds! Need further proof? Here's a pic of the Lost World game. The games are graphically impressive, for the most part. To see full reviews, click on the specific title (hopefully, more reviews will be coming soon).

In addition to the games, Tiger is rumored to be releasing several add-ons that allow you to do even more!

Headphones	These hook up to the unit so those around you don't have to hear your gameplay.	$9.95
AC Adapter	I think everyone knows what an AC does...	$9.95
Head 2 Head Cable	Allows for multi-player gameplay on some games, like Mortal Kombat Trilogy, etc.	$14.95
14.4 Modem	Designed specifically for the Game.com unit. Though, I do beleive you can use your own.	$49.95
Carrying Case	Allows you to carry the Game.com unit, carts, AC/Batteries and the Headphones.	$19.95

Overall, I really like the unit, but there are some drawbacks.

• It's in black and white. A color LCD screen granted, would have been a lot more expensive, but it would have also looked better and put both the Game Gear and Gameboy systems in their graves for good.
• The internet capabilities of the unit are, mostly because the unit can't display color, quite less than those of a regular computer. Only being able to view text pages isn't the best way to go about the internet (heck, how many pictures does this page contain?), but it's better than nothing for those that don't have access otherwise.
• Tiger seems to be dropping the ball in terms of the titles released. Since this article was originally written, Tiger has released 2 carts that I've seen, which is literally unacceptable. Nor have I seen the Internet cartridge or any of the peripherals listed above.
