INTRODUCTION
game.com ACTIVE! With the touch of a button, you’ll enter - and
hear! - the next generation of portable gaming. With its
innovative touch screen/stylus interface, built-in speech
capability, built-in organizer functions and optional Internet/email
and Web Link capabilities, game.com propels cartridge-based,
portable gaming years ahead. And, with its extensive library of
challenging games, it provides endless hours of fun.
The system is cartridge-based, which means a large variety of
games designed specifically for it can be purchased and played.
Since games are specially designed to take advantage of
game.com’s unique features, only cartridges labeled
“game.com” will work with the system.
In addition to playing games, game.com has several built-in
functions: a phone book, calendar and calculator. Each has
been developed for ease-of-use to keep life organized on the
go. Also built-in are an automatic high-score save feature, which
retains the highest score earned in up to 10 different games, and
a special touch screen version of the classic card game Solitaire.
