Tiger Game.com is a gaming handheld launched in 1997. Powered by Sharp SM8521 (1-core, 6 MHz), 4 KB RAM. Features a 3.5" LCD (touchscreen) display (200 x 160).
Inside sits the Sharp SM8521, an 8-bit single-core chip clocked at 6 MHz, paired with just 4 KB of RAM. By modern standards these specs are very modest, and the console is not meant for emulation; it is built to run its own cartridges.
The 3.5-inch LCD has a resolution of 200 x 160 pixels and is touch-enabled, a detail that sets this model apart from many other retro handhelds. Audio comes through a single mono speaker, enough for the sound effects and music of its games.
For controls, the Game.com offers three face buttons. The shell measures 210 x 104 x 30 mm and weighs 280 g, making it a wide console that sits comfortably in two hands but does not easily slip into a pocket.
Power comes from two AA batteries, delivering around 10 hours of play. The upside is that batteries can be swapped quickly anywhere, with no reliance on an internal pack that degrades over time.
On the software side, the main draw is the original cartridge library. This is not a device for custom firmware or emulation, but a snapshot of what portable gaming looked like in the late '90s.
Ideal for: retro handheld collectors, video game history enthusiasts, and anyone curious to try a 1997 handheld with a touchscreen and AA battery power.
