    The Game.com is a fifth-generation handheld video game console manufactured by Tiger Electronics. Designed as a competitor to Nintendo's Game Boy series, it was released in September 1997. It sold less than 300,000 units and was discontinued in 2000 as a commercial failure.

  2. I've had this weird sense of familiarity with this game eversince I ran it and saw the stylized "VINDICATORS" splashed across the screen. The almost "TRON"-like quality of that scene, the weird way the tanks are almost leaning forward. I don't think I ever played this on the family IIgs as a kid, but I am now pretty sure I played a port: The Tiger Electronics LCD handheld!

  3. Just when I thought I had found everything Pokรฉmon related from my childhood, I find these at the bottom of a drawer!

    Here are two Pokรฉmon light up keychains, featuring Pikachu and Mewtwo. They were made in 1998, and would flash when you turn the switch on the bottom clockwise. According to instructions, these would flash up to 120,000 times!

  9. The Game .com was one of the first portable consoles to go online! ๐ŸŒ This 1997 add-on brought dial-up internet to Tiger Electronics' handheld console. You could surf the web, but it was text only! It was a bold step into the online world for gamers of the 90s! #ThrowbackTech #90sGamer #RetroGaming #Nostalgia #VintageTech #1990s #GameCom #TigerElectronics #RetroTech #InternetHistory

  10. ๐ŸŽฎ๐ŸŒ The Tiger Electronics Game.com from 1997 attempted and failed to compete with the Game Boy. Today, it's known as an unsuccessful product, but its innovative features certainly deserve a mention:

    โ˜Ž๏ธ It could be connected to a 14.4 kbit/s modem and used for email and text-based web browsing.
    ๐Ÿ‘ˆ It had a touch-sensitive screen with a resolution of 200x160, although not for every pixel but rather a grid of 12x10 fields.

  11. Found this in a garage sale ad somewhat locally to me. Think itโ€™s worth the pickup (if they still have it)
