Well, if anything that Resident Evil game was at least TRYING. It was certainly ambitious. I mean, at least it wasn't just a generic sidescroller like what the back of the box looked like it was going to be.
Mortal Kombat: Senior Citizens edition ; joking aside, the frame rate and screen tearing really did need to be addressed before MK: Trilogies hit store shelves or yard sales. If only Tiger Electronics LLC waited a few years and released / made or created a newer Pocket Pro DX (coloured sprites over a larger display/screen) then it would have been a true competitor to the other handheld devices of the 1990's - 2000's...oh and if the ram was increased, and CPU/motherboard included a faster processing CPU !!!🙈☹️😰🤐😊😍😬😵😱😲
The "eastern european" music from the Sonic Jam title screen is the music from the Sonic 3 load/save screen slowed down and made into ear piercing pain
Knut Kniffte Yes, that is why I put the word "mask" right there in my comment... Perhaps you should properly read a comment before posting your redundant, smug little replies.
hey it's better then the shit you millennials come up with today like phrases such as "i'm dead" wen things are funny or "it's Lit or stay Lit" wen trying to sound cool or bruh or boi wen someone makes a stupid comment and last but not least the most dumbest move i have ever seen become a thing that spread like wild fire that refuses to die out is the DAB move where it looks like your covering a sneez ...... but how we talked in the 90's is weird? hmm i think you need to look at the shit you kids do in today's age cause wow just wow LOL!!
you think THYAT'S bad? I have a Chrome extension that actually restores annotations so you can see them again! But for some reason this video's annotations didn't get saved...
I know this is a year old comment, but, they probably didn't have them cause... it's monochrome... hopefully you understand why that'd be a problem haha.
Loponstorm Your comment is now also a year old, but Scorpion and Sub-Zero were included in the Game Boy port of Mortal Kombat. And no, there doesn't seem to be any way to tell them apart.
It might have been ill-conceived but you have to agree that putting RE2 on this thing was a pretty crazy accomplishment. Id buy this just to look at that, actually.
I used to have one of these when I was a kid. I left it out in a tent for an hour and the heat literately turned it demonic. It would rarely turn on and when it did, it would make really loud noises and the screen would be all messed up.
Now I remember why I still used my original Game Boy from the late 80's to the late 90's. Eventually replaced by a series of Palm Pilots, though the first two were black and white, they did have a very clear screen and some pretty good games to download. We are massively spoilt for choice now.
The games are actually not bad, especially considering they were all done in house by Tiger. The reason they look so bad is because of the terrible screen.
Indeed. Played on the emulator available, on a PC monitor, both graphics and gameplay are improved a lot. On the downside, the emulator's FPS is a tad slower than on real hardware.
If I where to put an actual LCD screen on it or Liquid Crystal Display do you think that it would display better or do you think that it's the hardware
With a better LCD screen than the one featured on the system, the output would be more crisp and defined, and a lot less blurry (the Pocket Pro version has a slightly better display than the first model, on par with the Game Boy Pocket's, with less of a ghosting problem). Still, the machine's hardware is seriously underpowered, and the games were too ambitious for it. Considering the system's limitations, Resident Evil 2 is good, easily the best game for the console. Duke Nukem is not that bad either, but a lot of content and animations had to be cut. Both William's Arcade Classics releases are also acceptable (some of the games included are seriously affected by the screen's blurriness, though). On the other side of the scale, Mortal Kombat Trilogy has good graphics, but most of the animations consist of only two frames (easily noticeable in the fighters' stance), the AI is predictable and very easy to beat, and the gameplay is really slow. The later also applies to Sonic Jam which, of all the bunch, is also the most hurt by the screen's ghosting, with both issues rendering it almost unplayable. The rest of the library falls somewhere in-between. All of them, with no exception, present control lag to a greater or lesser degree.
10:25 - That screenshot is from the first Resident Evil game yet Tiger used it for this game. There's also a second model Game.com which came with a built-in light I believe that has only one cartridge slot. I think that one was much better but the light it use tend to cause glare so it's not as good either way.
I think this thing could've been half decent if they'd just put a colour backlit LCD screen on it. It would've suffered the same battery life issues as the Game Gear, but at least the games would've been playable. It actually looks like it had a fair bit of power inside it for the time.
Did you know that in American supermarkets at the time of the Saturn version's release, there were actual jars of "Sonic Jam" being sold? Tails was orange flavored, Knuckles was strawberry, and I think Sonic was grape. >_>
Well actually Sonic Jam for Game.com Did not count as a real Sega Game,It was a port so Tiger could make a few bucks.But u are true the port was crappy
+Nick Tucker it's actually not a port, they couldn't get the whole games to work so each of the games only has 4 levels that have no resemblance to the originals other than tile sets and enemies, the final boss in Sonic 2 according to Sonic Jam for the Game.com is the very first boss of the mega drive version.
This thing is terrible, and might be the reason *nothing* has a C and D buttons nowadays. The title should be changed to "A 'Look' at some Game.com games" Also, this is pretty irrelevant, but on the other versions of Resident Evil 2, the face that displayed in the opening cutscene was the stuff of my younger nightmares.
***** Actually I got one from my grandma once and it worked pretty well it may have been garbage but it functioned and I had never experienced trouble seeing the screen.
A thing that doesn't often get mentioned about these old handhelds -- _Cheap LCDs are Ink Based, and they rot_. It's very likely that the GameCom wasn't _that bad_ back then. It _became blurrier_ over time and exposure to the elements.
Velociraptors were as big as a turkey but not as rotund as one, Utahraptors were bigger but literally none of them looked like the shrinkwrapped monstrosities from Jurassic Park. Good gods, that awful wrist articulation *shudders* oh yeah also, no, they're not extinct. Non-avian dinosaurs are but avian dinosaurs aka birds are still alive today.
+Master of the Memes Age guidelines were pretty flimsy for video games back then, until the current PEGI system came along it wasn't really clear how severe anything was, I remember the ps1 age ratings just had some check boxes with words like 'violence' and 'bad language' on them with no indication of how frequently it occurred.
Other than the crap screen, for the mid-nineties, good graphics and great being able to store sounds and voice like that. But the bit music is so limited and is really crap even in comparison to the GameBoy of 1989. Perhaps in sound they prioritized sound effects over music.
Haha. Used to have one of these as a kid... only ever had one game, was a batman side-scrolling platformer based on the film with the evil ice-dude. Can't say i've thought about the gamecom since i threw it out years ago. Gonna end up with blurry nightmares for years after watching this video....
If you knew how to play the games it would not have been soo irritating watching this. Since some of the things you where blaming on the game/system where actually your own doing >< Not saying this version of the games you showed here is not shite ( or the system itself ) just saying that.. a fair amount of misrepresentation is there..
Why would you want to play Sonic on a Game.Com when the Game Gear was such a better choice? I had a Sega Game Gear from about 1994 up until the early 2000s and then lost it somehow while moving. I actually enjoyed playing that thing. I had Sonic and some Power Rangers game that was a one-on-one fighting game (a la Street Fighter).
They did make a Sonic Jam for the Saturn, it had a 3-D overworld and all the classic 2-D platformer Sonic games on the Mega Drive. BTW Tiger's best product was the TALK BOY! :D
i like it how the graphics are perfect and resident evil gets a decent visualization but if anything dares to move,everything but the background collapses into nothingness
Actually, all British people are either Simon Pegg or the Queen. Any other person claiming to be British was actually one of these two in a mask. The more you know!
You might want to check the modem for the game com, it's literally the size of a console. Plus you have to pay a monthly fee to be able to put your score in games online....
In european versions of the early Mortal Kombats, it appears Raiden to be spelled with the Y instead of the I. In the newer ones, it was correct. I don't really know why is that.
I guess its not worth it, but it would be interesting to see a modern screen in one... Wonder if the games would be playable or if the hardware and screen combined make it so bad to look at.
Raptors were actually only slightly taller than modern chickens, although they were an average of 2m long. They also had feathers. They're not quite as formidable as Jurassic Park would have you believe, but I guess they could still probably kill a man.
First designed in the late 1970's, the agnosotron consisted of a standard CRT television screen tuned to simulate visual-perception deficits. It was briefly popular in Europe, but had faded into obscurity by 1985. Later, the patented algorithms for simulating inability to perceive motion, color, or fine detail were bought by Tiger Electronics, and were used to make the game.com's infamous blinding screen. True story.
If I where to actually put a real screen on it like I buy an actual LCD or Liquid Crystal Display if you want to go into technical terms and then shaped them out do you think you would be able to see mortal combat as sumthing besides blurs or do you think it's just the hardware
I actually beat the Jurassic Park game a couple times. The worst part was trying to jump onto these swinging vines because the frame rate was so low you pretty much had to guesstimate and go for it. The driving part wasn't that bad.
Yeah but it made the survival horror aspect work so well... Coming face to face with a zombie only to spaz out on the controls makes you panic. It works wonderfully in such a bad way, personally I love it.
i had the 2nd version (smaller) version of Game.Com, i didn't kept it for long. Though i had the network adapter for it! (but it use regular phone modem...)
Well, if anything that Resident Evil game was at least TRYING. It was certainly ambitious. I mean, at least it wasn't just a generic sidescroller like what the back of the box looked like it was going to be.
it could have been fine had they made the controls at least somewhat intuitive.
🙄🙂😓😋

It's called Sonic Jam because Sonic moves like he is stuck in an endless ocean of coagulated jelly.
No blast processing here, sadly.
There is blast processing. it processes for a few seconds if its on before you chuck it next to a cartoonist.
i thought jelly was supposed to be coagulated
Our jelly is what you call jam. Its not a solid.
Anubis I thought it was because Sonic's brain was mushed into a jam-like paste.
I find it funny that a game where half of the characters look different only in color scheme is available for systems with monochrome displays.
I know, why did they ever think Sonic would be suitable on a mono display?
Trolli Gumi Bearz
The "eastern european" music from the Sonic Jam title screen is the music from the Sonic 3 load/save screen slowed down and made into ear piercing pain
Hello. I know that this is old, but when you also get into a game it plays mushroom hill slowed with quite a few note in the wrong tune entirely.
At 1:06 when his face reflects in the screen it looks like he is wearing some kind of elephant mask, quite creepy!
the awkward moment when you see yourself in a reflection

"THERES NO SUBZERO OR SCORPION! YOU CAN'T HAVE A MORTAL KOMBAT GAME WITHOUT SUBZERO OR SCORPION!"

+Cat Burger my comment was a quote from AVGN, and no they were not the secret characters.

Loponstorm Your comment is now also a year old, but Scorpion and Sub-Zero were included in the Game Boy port of Mortal Kombat. And no, there doesn't seem to be any way to tell them apart.
I mean, technically you can have a MK game without Scorpion or Sub Zero. It just won't be a very good one.
It might have been ill-conceived but you have to agree that putting RE2 on this thing was a pretty crazy accomplishment. Id buy this just to look at that, actually.
Same
AustinofEarth too bad you wouldn't be able to see it.
It's not even the same game. There are like zero similarities outside the basic aesthetics and plot.
they also somehow managed to force sonic, mortal kombat, and duke nukem onto this thing doesn't mean they work.
??? Look at it, yes. See, no!
I was hoping to see Duke Nukem 3d as mentioned in the other video.
Try retrez channel
It is incredibly sad when even vintage Sonic Team can't produce workable music for your system.

What the hell are you wearing in that reflection? It's creepy as hell. It reminds me of the Grand high witch in "The Witches".
That look incredibly creepy.

Lol, makes me think of the .Com bubble
Radical Edwards it's the illuminati😱😱
That was 1995, Tiger made this in 1997.
I wonder if you could technically hook up a better screen to that.
Bär Honigfeld There's an emulator for it, too, it doesn't look half bad on a monitor lol.
Now I remember why I still used my original Game Boy from the late 80's to the late 90's. Eventually replaced by a series of Palm Pilots, though the first two were black and white, they did have a very clear screen and some pretty good games to download.

Did he have a mask on or is the reflection fucking with me
The games are actually not bad, especially considering they were all done in house by Tiger. The reason they look so bad is because of the terrible screen.
Yes, and because every game runs at 5 FPS
Indeed. Played on the emulator available, on a PC monitor, both graphics and gameplay are improved a lot. On the downside, the emulator's FPS is a tad slower than on real hardware.

02:49
Did the console just say "Fuck you"?!
+Flix The Soulless
"Game com Fuck You" xDDDD
I heard active which is what it really said but uhh I guess I can see why you would hear that
Literally everything in this console says "fuck you", starting from the screen and ending in games.
If you screencap at 22:31, it makes for a brilliant reaction image!
10:25 - That screenshot is from the first Resident Evil game yet Tiger used it for this game. There's also a second model Game.com which came with a built-in light I believe that has only one cartridge slot. I think that one was much better but the light it use tend to cause glare so it's not as good either way.
***** Like I said, that screenshot is from the first RE game yet Tiger used it for this game. This game was not made by Capcom.
"Completely collapsed into a jerking mess"
Sounds like one of my average Saturday nights.
5:52 they misspelled raiden.
I think this thing could've been half decent if they'd just put a colour backlit LCD screen on it. It would've suffered the same battery life issues as the Game Gear, but at least the games would've been playable. It actually looks like it had a fair bit of power inside it for the time.
The SM8521 is a pretty capable CPU. It just required a arse load of programming to get things to be at a decent speed.
It would have helped if tiger wouldnt develop the games in house
I think you did a Jurassic Park Lost World blind bag that had the same image on it as the front of this games box.
GAME-COM ACTIVE !!!!
that's the soundbyte that plays when you enter the gates of hell.
"Grid... online."
GAYCOM ACTIVE!!!
That Sonic Jam boxart is actually from Sonic R. Weird wild stuff.
So was the screen originally this bad? As he does mention it's damaged?
Damn, congratulations. You deserve an award for such a daring, courageous lifestyle. One could only dream of the heights you've reached.
I stole one of these from Toys R Us when I was little.... I took it back!
You should've burned it.
Did you know that in American supermarkets at the time of the Saturn version's release, there were actual jars of "Sonic Jam" being sold? Tails was orange flavored, Knuckles was strawberry, and I think Sonic was grape. >_>
Could one modify this game system replacing the screen with a modern LCD screen to get the games to look better?
Yes.
You thought Sonic Boom was bad? Sonic 06 being the worst Sonic game ever? Naw! Sonic Jam for Game com is the worst.
at least the soundtrak is great
Well actually Sonic Jam for Game.com Did not count as a real Sega Game,It was a port so Tiger could make a few bucks.But u are true the port was crappy
It's a port of Sonic 1 somehow worse than the GBA version...
+Nick Tucker it's actually not a port, they couldn't get the whole games to work so each of the games only has 4 levels that have no resemblance to the originals other than tile sets and enemies, the final boss in Sonic 2 according to Sonic Jam for the Game.com is the very first boss of the mega drive version.
I dont think they included sonic 1

Is he in the X-Men?

Hold on... Is the Sonic Jam cover art the exact same as Sonic R's? I don't think Sega expected this to be a major hit, huh? Smart...
Deadly force will be required, to see the damn screen.

was this stuff even tested? its virtually unplayable.

I’d like to see what these graphics look like on a pc screen, presumably they were designed on old massive monitors. Is it possible?
There is an emulator available for PC.

I'm glad I'm not the only one who thinks the controls on the early Resident Evils are utter wank.
19:41 - If you listen closely, you can actually hear Game.com saying, 'F@CK YOU'.
And a surprisingly true-to-the-original sprite based recreation of Resident Evil! These are true gems.

duckwantbreads PEGI isn't specific either, but BBFC ratings are, on films at least, and after 2002, games too.

That sonic game reminds me if you would of played sonic and he was carrying cinder blocks over his shoulders.
I remember the commercial with the midget insulting the audience.
i like it how the graphics are perfect and resident evil gets a decent visualization but if anything dares to move,everything but the background collapses into nothingness
Isn't Raiden spelled with an i?
Like, in the mortal kombat game I swear I saw "Rayden" but Im too lazy to scroll back
Actually, all British people are either Simon Pegg or the Queen. Any other person claiming to be British was actually one of these two in a mask. The more you know!
i still have one of these games con consoles still boxed! :D its been stuck under my bed for 2 years, i hope to keep it that way
The graphics on this system reminds me quite a lot of something you'd see on a TI graphing calculator.
Impressive. At around 24 seconds Resident Evil 2 for gamecom is a solid contender for your list of games with the fastest game over.
You might want to check the modem for the game com, it's literally the size of a console. Plus you have to pay a monthly fee to be able to put your score in games online....
Why is the box cover in Sonic Jam looks like the title screen in Sonic R for Saturn?
i loved watching this when it came out and when avgn did an episode on tiger products i thought of you and now im back here.
Even by mid-90's standards, it's obvious why this thing tanked.

That was almost as good as the Mel B/Eddie Murphy gag from the Kinnect games video. Bravo sir.

Wait... Isn't that the box art for one of the Sonic-R releases (Maybe the PC version)
If you know where it goes why did you put the pound sign in the back on two occasions?
Is the theme music for the lost world game the theme from Halloween...?
You have to hold down like that on any sonic to look down not "hold it for 3 mins "
I guess its not worth it, but it would be interesting to see a modern screen in one... Wonder if the games would be playable or if the hardware and screen combined make it so bad to look at.
Raptors were actually only slightly taller than modern chickens, although they were an average of 2m long. They also had feathers. They're not quite as formidable as Jurassic Park would have you believe, but I guess they could still probably kill a man.
