And the mercy seat is awaiting,
And I think my head is burning,
And in a way I'm yearning,
To be done with all this measuring of proof.
An eye for an eye
And a tooth for a tooth,
And anyway I told the truth,
And I'm not afraid to die.
This is the awful block of audio nightmares.

I refuse to.

You know, this frame rate is dire but hey, at least the music's pretty soothing! A nice contrast to some of the other stuff in this Awful Block.

This isn't, like, funny, but it is fascinating.

It does not, which should indicate to you exactly who the game.com was aimed at and why it was trash.

If I remember right the Game.Coms best selling game was "Light Out" which is that puzzle game where when you push a block in a grid, all the sorrounding connected blocks also switch state

Oh wait, one more thing, part of the reason the games on this system are dogshit and things they built like Resident Evil didn't get finished, every game was made internally by Tiger and they prevented 3rd parties from making games for it.

Edit: Wait, Resident Evil 2 for the Game.Com was finished? Laffoooo

Tiger wanted all the huge profits for their games system for themselves. Its probably because they were using their lovely LCD background as their frame of reference instead of game platforms which helps explains why they thought this framerate was acceptable.

At what point does it stop being a port and just become a wholly original game with the same title and theme? This (and Sonic Jam) are surely waaaay past that point.

The original gameboy also didn't get doom, the Game.com may genuinely be too weak to run the most technologically advanced game of 1993.

I mean this was the case for the vast majority of portable ports for the longest time, extending well into the mobile phone era

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g0FMGsSs_wk

Also the Tectoy Duke Nukem 3D for the Megadrive remains a 2.5D game but uses an engine no more advanced than Wolfenstein 3D, a real step down from the original
