5 Worst Handheld Systems Ever Made, Ranked

Tiger Electronics, famous for its handheld games, tried something new in 1997 with the Game.com. It looked good on paper, featuring a touchscreen, basic internet access, and the ability to use two game cartridges at once. It was designed to be a personal digital assistant, or PDA, that also played games – a concept similar to what smartphones eventually became. However, the Game.com was a commercial failure. It had very few games available, a black-and-white screen, and several limitations that made it unpopular. Tiger discontinued it in 2000, and fewer than 300,000 units were ever sold.
