There it is, a boxed Game.com with a number of games.
I've been looking for something really obscure to add to the collection for a while. This is by far the most obscure thing I own now, or at least it will be when it arrives.
Just out of curiosity, how did I do on price? I was willing to go as high as I had to, though, 'cuz this is only the second time I've seen one of these on eBay in an actual box and not that plastic packaging crap.

I think you did good.
I've NEVER seen one in a box , so I'd say despite the fact that it is the WORST system ever , You've got the BEST of the WORST. LOL

Good job on the Henry & Quiz Wiz
The rest as willie said, is fair.

I didn't think that the game.com was that bad. No backlight no color, bad graphics. It really did suck. :P Pretty cool though how it had a REALLY BAD internet hookup. Still a nifty idea. Similar to teh cybiko.

Glad to hear I got a good deal, then. I know the Game.com was a pretty horrible system, but it's all good for my collection. Plus, there weren't many games for it, so I could easily complete it.

Good deal.....Congrats
My wife plays this a lot..
I have bad luck with these.
I curently have two of them and a few empty boxes in the closet..
I've been through 4 of these...
#1(This one was store bought),
The first one I owned my wife(girl at the time) took it home with her..
Her house was burglarized while her and her family were out,and this was one of the things that was stolen.
Ok,I'm pissed,she liked this handheld game a lot so I bid crazily on a boxed one off Ebay..(With what I spent on that one..you got a great deal)
I get that one with some games...It's unused..
A freak accident occurs,this is #2
This one is sitting on the Coffee table..A figurine sitting high on the shelf takes a leap off..lol..It gets a boost off the end of the couch and lands on the Gamecom..Oh man,it cracks the screen..I can't believe this...Now..it's crazy..
I reenact this trip this figurine took and I still can't figure it out..
Ok,Back to Ebay..I win one in the box for $10.00 with 2 games,,,a sweet deal...But I have to bug the seller for two weekd before he ships it.
Then I get another in a flea marker for $5.00 in the box..
I took the glass out of the broken one,it still works,but you can only play the cart games on it though..
I have the no glass Gamecom sitting on top of the Gamecom I have on display to protect it..since I have bad luck with these and the other stays in it's box.. :roll:

Oh..I have a ton of boxed sealed Gamecom games sitting in storage..
I bought big lot of these cheap out of a Kay Bees warehouse in the Summer..
I'm going to list most of them on Ebay near Christmas time..I just need to bring some of that stuff in storage here to get moving on it.

You want obscure, then complete all of the gardware! There are at least 2 boxed versions - with and without Lights Out. I actually had one without. Then there are 3-4 colors of the newer ones, and all of those come with and without the backlight. Think of how cool it would be to have 10 different Game.com setups!
Try and find the 14 k modem for it (I got it) and the Tiber Web Link cartridge (to upload high scores)

I think you got a steal! A boxed one hardly comes up on ebay, and it will look good on your shelf. :)
