Just bought a Game.com...

[Pedro Lambrini]

It truly is a piece of shite, eh?

[tholly]

according to a lot of people, yes

but, id say it all depends on personal preference

i have never played on one, but i have always been curious...one of these days ill have to pick one up myself...

[rbudrick]

You poor, poor thing.

Actually, if it wasn't so damn blurry, some of these games would actually be playable...I'm waiting for an emulator to see if I am right about this...

I'm sorry to hear of your purchase, and I haven't even seen one. x_x

I also just bought a game.com. It had to buy a system with all the games just to get Wheel of Fortune 2. I have been looking for that game to complete my game.com collection for many many months.

So I have not completed my first system. Not much of a system but its a start.

My wife likes it...for the Solitare..

[Gamereviewgod]

I feel for you. I really do.

You know what's great.. out of all my friends back in the day when it first came out, I wanted to nab that thing first, they bought it first.. :-) saved me a clean 50$ plus the cost of games... yikes!

That thing was such a tease, duke nukem looked so damn cool, the game is literally the same 10 frames through out the whole first level (nope, I never tried to beat a level, game is awful)

batman and robin, : only other game Iv tried.. god don't even get me started..

[-hellvin-]

Sorry man.

It'll all be ok in the end...

I bought mine for $80. Once I'd placed the bid on ebay, I found the Nomad and wished and hoped and prayed that I would lose the auction so I could bud on the Nomad instead. Sadly, I won the auction and had to wait...

a whole paycheck to buy the Nomad. So, no major crisis - but wow - what a waste of money.

[TheRedEye]

The only system I've literally thrown in the trash.

[pookninja]

yeah,it is pretty much a electronic pile of crap.i have one,i bought it brand new at kay-bee for 6 dollars.i got 3 games for it,sonic jam,resident evil2,and lights out.they all suck.i guess lights out is the best of the 3,and that aint saying much.

[AFGiant]

Hey, take it easy fellas! I like my game.com! Well, I can easily see why it died out so quickly and all, but its not all bad. FIghter's Megamix, for instance. A bit blurry, but not half bad for a system with such a bad rep. I've beaten levels in Duke Nukem 3d, and I found it fun. Sure, Sonic Jam sucked terribly (can we have some background music? Sound effects? SOMETHING?!!?) but I like most of my other games.

[Mr.FoodMonster]

I was wondering how the Resident Evil game was. I figred it sucked, but its still kinda weird.

[Wookie]

It's OK for puzzle & game shows. Henry, Jeopardy, Lights out, monopoly, scrabble, casino, and wheel of fortune (plus the built-in solitaire) are all playable if you like that type of game. It's the system I take on airplanes with me since I don't much care if it gets lost, stolen, confiscated by security, etc.

But yes, it truly sucks for any game where things actually move.

[Neil Koch]

RE2 was surprisingly good on game.com, but it was pretty short... it ends after you get out of the police station.

Any of the side-scrolling or fighting games suck because of the screen blur, but the board/card games are fun for short trips.

[Cmosfm]

Overall I found the game.com a very fun system!

The games can be fun, GREAT fun actually, if you stick with more of a "board game" or "classic" style game. The side scrolling/fighting games are horrid due to the blurry screen. Here's a list of games that you can actually enjoy!

Centipede
Frogger
Henry
Jeopardy
Lights Out!
Monopoly
Quiz Wiz
Scrabble
Tiger Casino
Wheel Of Fortune
Wheel Of Fortune 2
Williams Arcade Classics

These are all highly playable and highly enjoyable games! I love to crack it out sometimes for a Scrabble session or a gamble at the Tiger Casino. I suggest giving a little more time with some of these games....it will grow on you!
