<div class="text-justify"><p>Many companies over the years have wanted to introduce themselves into video games, either through game programming, design of new game consoles, among other things. However, this task has always been a little complicated because there are companies in the market with a high reputation.</p></div>

<div class="text-justify"><p>It is here when innovation must be a necessary tool to attract new gamer public, so these people will be motivated to try a new game console, this was something that the company Tiger Electronics tried to do, with a portable game console that in some way was advanced for its time, it is the Game.com.</p></div>

<div class="text-justify"><p>It was launched in 1997 with a very peculiar design, because it was not only a console, but also had other functions very similar to those of a PDA (Personal Digital Assistant). PDAs were considered as pocket computers or a personal electronic agenda, capable of performing multiple tasks such as writing documents, surfing the Internet, and so on.</p></div>

<div class="text-justify"><p>Under this concept they created Game.com, but with the peculiarity of having the function of placing video game cartridges and being able to play them, clearly this functionality can be noticed since in its left part is the classic D-pad and to the right more than 7 buttons which complement the gameplay in video games.</p></div>

<div class="text-justify"><p>Many consider that the first portable videogame console with touch screen was the Nintendo DS, it turns out that this is completely false, the Game.com was really the one that innovated in this sense, besides incorporating for the first time a function never seen before in this style of consoles, the possibility of connecting to Internet.</p></div>

<div class="text-justify"><p>Currently connecting to the internet with a device is normal, however, in 1997 was something that was just growing and expanding around the world, so the Game.com has a very high merit, taking into account that the first game console that had an Internet connection was the Sega Dreamcast in 1998.</p></div>

<div class="text-justify"><p>Unfortunately for the high connectivity costs of those years and the low speeds with respect to data transfers could not do much, some games included a function to verify high scores on the Internet, but nothing to do with cooperative online games, however, to be 1997 was really a great innovation.</p></div>

<div class="text-justify"><p>But not everything in the Game.com was satisfactory for the users, in spite of those excellent multitasking functions and connectivity they lacked something, let's remember that in those years Nintendo reigned in the portable videogames with the Game Boy, this one had an enormous catalogue of videogames, reason why if they wanted to compete against it they had to bring to the market games to the level of the Game Boy.</p></div>

<div class="text-justify"><p>This was one of the main causes that the Game.com was not successful, in its three years they only released 20 titles, which leave too much to be desired compared to the Game Boy. Despite this defect has some very interesting games like Duke Nukem 3D, Mortal Kombat Trilogy, and even a version of Resident Evil 2 which is very little known.</p></div>

<div class="text-justify"><p>In the year 2000 the company Tiger Electronics decided to put an end to the manufacture of this portable game console, leaving registered in 3 years an amount of 300,000 units sold, becoming a commercial failure, thus would be forgotten and crushed by other game consoles over the years.</p></div>
