I have a feeling that you guys are about the only people in the world that would understand my desire to get a Game.com. There are only about 20 games for it and they seem very bland at best. It's also quite ugly and has a lousy screen. In spite of this though I feel that I would be  a good addition to my collection. They're inexpensive and have no rare games. I may get one even before I get a replacement NGPG. I just thought I'd tell you guys because I know you would understand.

I have no idea what you're talking about. :D

I second that :P

I used to have a Game.com.

It was crap.

I'd say, if you're going to get one, make sure you get a complete or at least boxed one. The games should be boxed as well, that way the collection will have some merit.

i'd actually like to get one just to see how bad they are...

3rd. wtf.  :tinfoil:

Heh heh... I feel you nester... And go ahead, get it. You will be kinda like... 'WTF?!'. But it is kinda a cool technology.  :laugh:

I had a Game.com back when they first came out, when I was a young lad. The promise of games like Duke Nukem 3d, and things like online gameplay and internet sounded too good to be true. Turns out, it was!

You might be in luck nester, I have never seen one of these things but it sounds like if anyone had one, they would probably just give it to you.

Yeah, maybe I'll keep holding out. Although it seems like I can get the entire collection of Game.com games for less than the price of a Jaguar CD.

So the rest of you never get the urge to get lousy old systems that you know will probably suck? I thought that's what this place was all about!

I do! Look at my collection: Sega 32X AND a Virtual Boy. I would still have a Game.com too if my cat hadn't broken it.  :laugh:

So a Game.com is a console? Stupid name, I think.

@Sirgin:  It's a handheld, sadly enough.

I've been jonesing for a Gizmondo, for similar reasons.

Also, I'm still pissed about Johnny Whatever :(

you can have my Game.Com its shit

 :laugh: :nod: :laugh: :ninja:

See nester, I told ya to just hang in there. ;)

Hey, if anyone wants to give me their Game.Com just PM me and we'll talk. I'm sure we could work something out.

I think that the only good games on it are like the williams arcade compilation and mortal kombat trilogy

Well you don't need to buy a Game.com for Mortal Kombat, so that leaves only that compilation?

Well, id buy one for mkt but its not exactly on my list of wanted consoles.

You can always get one if you happen to find it for cheap, of course :)

I was thinking the same thing, Nester.  I figured it would be inexpesive to get the whole collection.  I heard it was crap like the rest of the post say.

Just picked one up on eBay for £7, boxed with 2 games. They're right, it's crap. And huge!

I actually have 2 of them. But I am one of those who still buys stuff I know will suck just to have it in my collection.

Even the lame stuff can be entertaining to muck about with from time to time.

Won't the network features be crippled now, since the service is almost certainly discontinued?

Funnily enough, I might be getting one CIB with 5 games (All CIB) from Tynstar. And how much? $20. That's right, $20. NO FREAKIN JOKE!!! They are worth nothing, and are really silly. But, they are cool at the same time... I can't describe it...

Even if they're worth nothing, a CIB console + 5 games for $20 is always a good deal :nod:

Heck yeah. AND some other stuff (AKA 3 metal gear related games, all CIB).

You can't compare the game.com to the Sega 32X! The Sega 32X had awesome games like Virtua Racing and Virtua fighter, several better-than-mediocre games, like darxide, knuckles chaotix, Star Wars, Kolibri and metalhead and also the pretty good arcade ports After Burner and Space Harrier.

The game.com, on the other hand, has absolutely no games whatsoever that are worth playing. They don't even have 'haha, that game is so awful' value.

I got one several years ago for the same reasons you want one and I regret it to this day. I've never had a worse gaming system.

There's always the R-Zone...

I dunno... The game.com really... REALLY sucks. And arr, you're right. You can't compare a 32X and a game.com. Not even in the same league as each other.

You stop it!

:shudder:

I  own it. :)

You guys are too influential.  First Pier Solar, then the game.com... :P

I got three game.com games from ebay (Fighters Megamix, Williams Arcade Classics, and Indy 500) in a lot.  They came out to like $3.50 and they were brand new, so, it wasn't too expensive.

Anyway, heres the url for those who wish to buy these amazing :) games

http://cgi.ebay.com/GAME-COM-PACK-3-BRAND-NEW-PORTABLE-GAMES-JOUST-SINISTAR_W0QQitemZ170265244906QQihZ007QQcategoryZ139973QQcmdZViewItemQQ_trksidZp1713.m153.l1262

It has Fighters Megamix? It can't be all that bad then.

Try to imagine it in B&W, running incredibly slow. Like, really, really laggy.

Oooooooooohhhhh  :-X

I I bought that exact same set! From the same place. Cheaper to import than buy indvidually from the UK

I understand. I bought one just so I would have another system in my collection.

I have been half heatedly working on completing my game.com collection.
The games i need don't really show up on eBay.

Wheel of Fortune 2 is the only one hat comes to my mind...

I got one at the flea market for $5. It was next to some Culture Club records. I'm enjoying those a hell of a lot more than the game.com.

I also bought one.  All Things considered the best game for it was the pack in game.  I never did beat Lights Out though.

Welcome to the RF Gen forums Mr. Huh.
Hope you enjoy your stay.
After reading everything that has been said, I don't think I would even accept it as a gift.

Welcome from me aswell, Mr. Huh. Cool name you have there. :D

If you got any questions don't hesitate to ask. :)

Haha, bash them on the head with it if anyone ever gives you one! :P
