Game.com commercial

[aminphysics101]

This commercial and that console contain everything that the gaming industry should avoid.

[smbmadman1]

I love how Sonic Jam's gameplay is sped up

[RENZDOGG]

its like selling us shit...they should of named it shit.com

[RENZDOGG]

interesting to know that everyone that makes a comment sees the poor quality game.com has to offer. they only 19 games created for game.com and the touch screen for the console was unresponsive quite often.

[theloquendero61]

i think that guy is a dick

[otaddiction]

The Game.com, the first touch screen handheld console.

The Nintendo DS, the first touch screen handheld console that did it right.

[mattymatt2323]

i like to throw midgets, will i like this handheld?

[AnEternalEnigma]

Was that Jenny McCarthy asking how much it cost?

[LegoDalejr2488]

Game.com The Ultimate Portable Gaming System Is Not The Ultimate Portable System. XD

[Treasurefan02]

Hahaha, and here I thought Sega had the worst marketing team

[laharlxyz]

whats that? like 19 brain cells?

[Spaghettitron]

@laharlxyz No, it's 20.

[Darkprinny]

"Game com the ultimate games system" Oh you.........

[xeroniris]

So... Tiger launched a games console, and in their advert call anyone who plays games an idiot?

..and asking about compatibility or price makes you a moron?

Interesting sales technique. I wonder why it didn't work for them ;-)

[TheCheezWizz]

@xeroniris You do realize that the one that was doing all the insulting practically got lynched at the end of the commercial, right? The midged was right. You're dumb.

[MrJoobledoo]

Tyrion Lannister??

[zeebdeath]

I just can't get enough of this guy!

[drknexus1]

this guy can't wait to be a useless piece of shit all day and play all those games

[darkfire532]

Just how HIGH do you have to BE to buy this useless PIECE of shot!?

[MrVersipellis]

I told you about the stairs bro

[Giantrobots64]

dumb homo tool

[InsaneWithAReason]

I told you about those crowds bro.

[Ato0theJ]

Hmmmm. I wonder why this console didn't sell very well. Maybe because their mascot was an angry midget in a jumpsuit. You got Mario, Master Chief, Sonic, Ratchet... and this vicious munchkin. Even worse than NEC's Kieth Courage- that seemed impossible until seeing this.

[immothep101]

Let's Rock!

[elsquibbs]

Soooo the crowd saw through the midget's smoke n mirrors routine and attacked him?

[TheKassicRock]

keep pressing three. Lol

[knexfan100]

I dislike the ad, the company, the little person in the ad, all other actors, the retards that thought this was a good idea (que mike mozart saying "i mean really")

[knexfan100]

@BoredGamer

same here. Lol.

[BoredGamer]

I remember hating this commercial, not wanting a Game.com because of it, and actually reveling in its failure.

[VampireWeekend34]

whoever came up with this has to be kicked square in the nuts

[lightlittlebrownboy]

Ah! So that's why it sold like shit.

[jzbadblood]

Jack Black midget

[porkyminch01]

@jzbadblood but Jack black its already one

[NickLazyVlogs]

gezzz that lightened my night, back to my pint

[yagamiraito]

@myUnknown44 No, but a lot of people thought it was. I can't wrap my head around why they thought this was a good idea. Representing your company with a douchebag corporate goon midget that hates his customers and showing those customers rebel against you and fuck you up wasn't the way to go.

[Lachlant1984]

Now I see what the Wikipedia article for the Game.Com was talking about when it mentioned the advertising not being received very well, as if people are going to buy the Game.Com based on the ad, and what did the chick say at the end? Advanced, maybe, but it could have been better.

[DustinThePooper]

"Gamers are idiots and we're not telling you the price in this commercial.

......so, you want one, right?"

[TheMetalGearChick1]

So, Tiger thought that the best way to sell their console was to call the gamers morons with less than 20 brain cells?

If Tiger wanted to make fun of the competition, then they should have done it in a funny, non-offensive way like Sega or Sony, how they just make a simple jab at the other console and leave it at that. But no, they had to outright call the people idiots.

[lightlittlebrownboy]

@TheMetalGearChick1

At least they were telling the truth though.

[AllieRX87]

Game dot com

[Ohbaby4Lyfe]

It sucked So bad I got one for Xmas : (

[TheK3vin]

@Ohbaby4Lyfe aw, poor kid...

[Trancemaster2052]

Oooo black and white graphics, gotta love that.

[MattTheSaiyan]

Great idea for a commercial: Spoof the arrogant ads used by certain game companies of the time. Sure, the handheld itself was crap, but at least it was crap in a memorable sort of way!

[masmotors]

if tiger only tried to make good console they still be in console market

[MuffinOfFun]

This is the most hardcore bible camp ever.

[Dangturtle]

"How much does it cost?"

"MORON"

Because it's dumb to know how much shit costs before you buy it....

[Aerodeth]

@Dangturtle

If you have to ASK how much it costs, chances are your moronic ass is too poor to afford one!

[AlderDragon]

What a shitty commercial.

[indianaclark]

The guy in the orange suit was actually my math teacher. He is an awesome guy!

[MXvsATV3DS]

0:41 Fuck You,Shorty.

[MXvsATV3DS]

begs to be touched? thats so wrong!

[TheEscapedBalloon]

19 games.. So he's saying we are basically brain dead?

It must have hurt to make such a nonsensical commercial like this. Are they trying to kill the console before it comes out?

[8BitROB]

What.....the hell....? O.O

[SaturnTrack]

Man, this handheld was horrible, and i makes the Virtual Boy look like a PS3. Hope the AVGN does a review on the Game.com.

[robinkom]

I would honestly rather play Virtual Boy and that's saying a lot...

[AimalCool]

At least the Game.com was the first ever console that was touchscreen and had internet. But it still had only 300,000 sales, the 3rd worst sold console in history.

[MattTheSaiyan]

These commercials, I read, were meant to be spoofs of the overly-brash commercials of certain video game companies of the time.

[affansonicfan]

1)what's it's color pallette? next question! 2)what is it compatible with? next question! 3)how much does it cost? next question!

answers to questions: 1)black and white 2)games that look shittier than regular gameboy games. 3)$300

any other questions?!

[Lufttygger306]

Game com

The ultimate piece of shit

[Ryanr75rc]

Game com nigger

[Beartallica86]

I had Game.com! I dunno where it is now tho. I had Lights Out, Henry, Duke Nukem, Sonic Jam, Lost World Jurassic Park (sucked the most), and Fighters Megamix. I enjoyed it while it lasted. O well

[DazzPFR]

I have one of these in my garage from when they came out....wow...sucky

[TheNeonkiller]

It has more braincells than he does maybe.

[FreQuenczy]

Yes, insult my intelligence and I'm sure to buy your product!

Logic FAIL.

[lordpoee]

God I remember this commerical...

[ZaZ1230]

lol I rememebr THis! I actually had it! It was suppose to be all Big and stuff, but instead it sucked and never heard from it again. like the virtual boy. I do miss and liked the DreamCast though, remeber...... it's thinking.

[SerpentNight]

Its kinda sad when the best thing about a game system is the ad campaign.

[rhia013]

lol oh shit. I actually had one. It really was fucking lame. I only played Wheel of Fortune on it XD

[jordanthewizard]

sure, insult the people who might want to buy your product.

[arcadegametable]

The phrase "It begs to be touched" = LOL

[hofish7]

so, i have less than 20 brain cells?!

[AustralianPyromaniac]

I thought the point of commercials wast to get the customers to want to buy the product. This would make me want the stay the fuck away!

[hellspit2003]

way to insult the target audience morons! such a joke... i played this like 7 years later off a kid who bought it at a yard sale for 10 bucks.. it had duke nukem with it and it was horrible! black and white and basically the gameplay of one of those old games on wristwatches.. waste

[Tmal10]

This ad totally sold me about a month before christmas, seeing duke nukem followed by sonic 3 i was blown away so i asked for it for christmas, I WAS SORELY DISAPPOINTED!! it was a pile of shit! My mate got a playstation, I was so jealous.

[Offlian]

And I head "Ultimate portable gaming system" as I play HG on my Dslite. Lols

[bearsaremyfav]

I just got one of these for 5 dollars in box.

[ghost909090]

LOL

[Rudyonyx]

0:44 the guys face is very dum!!

[SJCasey67]

@Rudyonyx ..... No dumber than someone that can't spell dumb

[jazbot32669]

@Rudyonyx take a closer look at him

ps its aston koocher

[MegaElpedro]

no thanxs gamecom ill stick to my psp3000

[gtownpk95]

Hey guys notice how he's just saying his script, he's actually a great person

[eatmyfumes]

Yeah, that's how you sell a product. Call the audience stupid.

[zeioIIDX]

used to play robotron 2084 and lights out on this all the time

[TyFly312]

this was another good system that failed i had both, the regular and the color 1, Lights out was the shit and Mortal Kombat Trilogy

[Valis77]

MOOOOORONNNNNNN!

[Liface]

I had one. I begged my parents to get it. I was so, so stupid. I think I finally figured it out when I beat the entire Mortal Kombat game (purchased for $32) in ONE HOUR and then started crying.

[Bumblepus]

God, when a midget in a orange suit is screaming at a crowd of white people about a portable game system you know he isn't fucking around.

[nexonkartrider309]

this is a fucken piece of crap watch tweeterman 287 review hell tell yo!

[bigducebob]

is this system rare

[AkimboJoe]

Q: "How much does it cost?"

A: "MOOOOORONNNNNNN!"

lol, good advertising strategy.

[TheMastroAntonio]

Wow this portable really got shit on.

[Vetuyasha]

I tried it recenly from a friend of mine who got it for his collection only. Worst handheld console ever.

[ExtacyEtcFA]

GamePro seems to think the gizmondo is worse.

[ericaesop]

that guys a dick

[AlucardsQuest]

Or a good actor?

[AlucardsQuest]

"Plays more games than you idiots have brain cells!" Answer... 20 games released in the US.

[Vetuyasha]

Hahahaha! So, he believes that we are so stupit, huh?

[Domura]

If you're going to pretend not to be retarded, try to spell correctly first.

[GrimByakuya]

@AlucardsQuest only 20? and how did it connect to the internet?

[Traductus5972]

@GrimByakuya the later ones couldn't and it only downloaded high scores

[123kissfan]

@AlucardsQuest So the people in the crowd are alcholics

[Nickname3750]

@AlucardsQuest we cant beat that...

[edmundpark]

@AlucardsQuest Ad person is an idiot.

[ChaosMew161]

@AlucardsQuest And how many brain cells do we people have? At least a thousand. So, the orange-shirted guy is a douche.

[AlucardsQuest]

@ChaosMew161 Well, he's just an actor.

[ChaosMew161]

@AlucardsQuest Touché.

[Reylan84]

@AlucardsQuest Ouch, kind of bitter huh?

[Tryscal2]

i remember this

it sucked

bad

[MoxieChan]

wow i wish i had seen this earlier, he would have been my childhood hero

[rychanwr3]

Haha, I love the way at the end the midget avoids every legit question about the device, almost as if the company knew it was going to be full of fail.

[Vetuyasha]

Expecially the price. XD

[Richard1952Tele]

I went out and bought this but when I tried to play lights out it didn't work so i threw it at the wall and started playing Gameboy :]

[arsenalcrazy8]

Wow....I remember I begged my dad for this when it came out. I spent $100 on it...

[303bassline]

Superb marketing...

[MrSevenLung]

Anyone know what the dragon game is at 0:36?

[Peter7Paul]

NEXT QUESTION.

[equirnam]

wow.. tiger electronics sure has a great marketing team. . .

[EnigmaHood]

The ultimate portable gaming system lol

[ajsUtube76]

Wow...I wonder if the genius who came up with that advertising slogan still has a job...

[BoredGamer]

What the hell kind of marketing was this? It seemed like they were trying to sarcastically insult their demographic, but made their commercial sound more condescending than anything. I think that could have something to do with its failure; that and the fact that it sucked.

[Tornado1994]

Tiger Game Com was a handheld failure. A poor man's Gameboy. God, that thing was horrible.

[TyFly312]

u lie, i had 1 and it was ok, the ground it layed for handhelds was epic but it was failure because the simple fact it was from Tiger lol, had alot of potential though

[cornunderscore2x]

Go PLANTMAN!

[Iori400]

Brian peppers in a red suit?

[Zer0Funk]

Boy, did this thing suck.

[NitekMuscle]

The 'ironic' attempt at humor sadly backfired in this commercial. The system and its games seemed rather lackluster.

[equirnam]

lackluster?? dude they were a complete pile of HORSESHIT!!!!

[DeanoTheLegend87]

"Begs to be touched" It is me or does that sound just wrong.

[yonoid88]

I have one but the original gameboy is better imho.

[jscumpy]

err.. to all the slackers who have nothing to do then play games and surf the net all day.

Why didnt the cameras keep rolling after they rushed the stage?

[Iori400]

Slackers? Go back to bed old man..

[swampertkev]

all aboard the failboat!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

and fuck this thing does insult the consumers lol XD sucks to be a person that bought this lmao

[londonkaleb2]

this was the future of gaming at the time

[Mage3337]

this commercial is false advertising

[Mage3337]

this console was a failure

[vinisupergato]

i lol'd

[Joe402]

This commercial is so awful.

[BurningRangers]

I've got the smaller backlit version of the system, and it still isn't very good. I mainly picked it up for Sonic Jam and Fighters Megamix. Sega probably just sold the licenses to those games and let someone else butcher them. The system just did not have the horsepower to do a Sonic game justice let alone even well. Even the Game Gear Sonics were light years better. The touch screen was ahead of it's time, but for the most part, there's very little worth playing on it.

[tnafever]

The Game Gear Sonic games are great because the old Sonic Team actually worked on those versions.

[Tornado1994]

SEGA was in the early stages of entering the 3rd party market at the time and gave Tiger the licenses to spite them. Knowing how bad they would turn out to be on the disasterous handheld. It blows my mind how much Game com sucks. I mean Tiger didn't even bother to design a 8-bit color LCD screen and the system was even weaker then the NES! Interesting enough, SEGA also had the Nomad handheld at the time and was still supporting GameGear. Thank God they're getting back into hardware.

[fgfan19]

What do you mean segas getting back to makeing hardware?

[JESSIEEDSELL21]

yah

[dogeymon83]

People think because SEGA is renewing their copyright to all the dreamcast logos and controllers, and have released a new arcade board called "Ringedge", they think SEGA's re-entering the console business. It's wishful thinking to the edge of stupidity.

[markcoggins1990]

@dogeymon83 they also announced that sonic4 would be also on a mystery platform sega would never make a console with sony nintendo and microsoft competing but i wouldnt rule out them co-developing a console or making a handheld

[dogeymon83]

@markcoggins1990 - The mystery console is iPhone.

[markcoggins1990]

@dogeymon83 i knew it was being developed for iphone but i didnt realize that was the mystery platform i dont see why that was kept a mystery its not in any way interesting

[dogeymon83]

@markcoggins1990 - The reason it was originally listed all mysterious like was because they hadn't officially announced it for iPhone at the time and kept it question marks until otherwise set in place. You can check the website again. It now says, "Available on App Store", even though the game hasn't been finished yet.

[Asmackinyourface]

The fact that DS, PSP, PS3, and Xbox360 ALL have wi-fi, Plus games like Maplestory are free. So what's so great about a handheld black 'n white boltbox from the 90's. Oh, and I agree with gamecom17, dwarf IS the right way to say it. See? gamecom17 agrees even THEN it was trash... so what's withb this it looks cool, wuts so bad about it nonsense?

[kickodude]

it looks cool, wuts so bad about it?

[vangk0]

Well not much but its easy to lose the touch screen pen and all the games looks like rip off of games you download from the internet. All the games has good graphics compare to game boy but bad sounds.

All games doesn't have any level sounds only a few sound FX really boring!! its rally quiet!

It feels good when you hold it takes 4 batteries only thing is that it doesn't have many games and even if it has more games" Most of them will suck because no good companies will make them!!

[gamecom17]

I was actually the guy in the video and they let me keep the orange suit. I totally agree that the game was a piece of trash.  BTW, the word dwarf is more appropriate if you want to describe the type of short-stature that I have.

[groovdafied]

Man I remember seeing this commercial and owning a gameboy. I was kinda feeling the buyers remorse when hearing the "features" this thing had, however I didn't hear too much of it in stores, so luckil I got over my need to buy this thing and kept my gameboy *whew*

[AerialMan]

Did that commercial just try to sell me something by calling me an idiot?

WTF.

[TheRealPentiumMMX]

I remember wanting one of these for Christmas. Thankfully, I got a Game Boy Pocket instead.

[sictv13]

I have this console and a load of games, I think it's shit and never use it, but I don't think it would be right to sell it to anyone, it'd be like selling someone Aids.

[Fugga21]

lol

[tlo65]

i remember this like it was yesterday
