View Full Version : Game.com Questions
Sega Hitman

So I have a strange urge to buy a Game.com. I realize how bad it must be, seeing as Tiger is involved, but nonetheless I am still interested.
My question is, are any of the games any good? lol. I've heard so much negativity about the system, I don't think I've ever heard somebody actually complement it.
Also, has it ever been confirmed that Madden and Castlevania were actually released? I remeber a certain "Big Dog" claiming to have both titles, I'm curious if he was actually speaking truth.

Actually Hitman, the Game.com has a few good games. Especially if you stick to puzzle games. Lights Out, Henry, Wheel of Fortune, Jeopardy etc. are good on the system. Action games are very blurry, pretty much avoid them unless collecting the complete collection (something I'm working on, but I've come up dry lately). I've never seen the Madden or Castlevania games, I still say they are rumors at this time, but I don't know for sure...
The solitaire game built-in is very good as well.

haha, I remember when I had one of those, it only had Lights Out, I wanted a modem for it, those things had so much promise they just fizzed out though.

Didn't they come out with another system, tigervision or something?

I've seen similar claims, and no proof whatsoever. I don't remember if it was "Big Dog" or someone else, but whoever it was didn't answer a couple of direct emails and the occasional newsgroup posts I post to try to get the scoop if it IS for real. Call me extremely skeptical, though I'm not yet calling that person a liar.

Er, not exactly. A long time ago there was a Tigervision line of 2600 games, and maybe that's what you're thinking of.
Or, perhaps you're thinking of one of the other handheld systems Tiger makes, like the R-Zone, or Quiz Wiz, or any of the gameshow systems they've done.

The version of RE2 was pretty good, it was short (you could beat it in half an hour) but suprisingly decent.

Actually, Tiger also made this. With built-in screen and everything.

Yeah, that's the R-Zone I mentioned.
Actually, they also make educational computers/toys/systems on occasion if I remember correctly.
