Summary

At its 1997 launch, Game.com was the most technically advanced handheld console. It offered Internet access through a modem, a touchscreen and familiar computer functions such as an address book and calculator. Its low-resolution screen, limited third-party support and poor reception in the gaming press nevertheless held it back, and sales were weak. Tiger Electronics tried to revive demand with Game.com Pocket Pro and Game.com Pocket, with only modest success. From 2004, the Nintendo DS adopted many similar ideas, including the touchscreen, and became one of the best-selling consoles with over 150 million units sold.
