Whoops. Put it in the consoles section instead of the handhelds section.
Apple's attempt at being relevant to games. It failed.

===Nokia N-Gage===
Nokia's attempt at making a cell phone/handheld system hybrid, before mobile gaming really took off. Although it was the most powerful handheld in its time, it failed due to a high price, a terrible button layout, numerous design flaws, and its underdeveloped cell phone component. Most of its games were ports, either from the GBA or from the 5th gen consoles. While it didn't have any standout titles, it still had a few odd entries from big franchises such as Elder Scrolls Travels: Shadowkey and SSX: Out of Bounds.

===Tiger Game.com===
An infamous piece of shit, with quite possibly the worst screen on any handheld ever. Somehow still had a port of Resident Evil 2. [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wfxzVFzvizE CGR review]

Although it was the most powerful handheld in its time, it failed due to a high price, a terrible button layout, numerous design flaws, and its underdeveloped cell phone component. Had a redesign called the QD, but it was only slightly better. Most of its games were ports, either from the GBA or from the PS1 and Saturn. While it didn't have any standout titles, it still had a few odd original entries from big franchises such as Elder Scrolls Travels: Shadowkey and SSX: Out of Bounds.
