    Classic Game Room reviews SONIC JAM for Tiger Game.com from 1998, a collection of three Sonic the Hedgehog games (or so it says) on the ill fated Game.com that plays terribly. Sonic Jam has "select" levels from Sonic 2, Sonic 3 and Sonic & Knuckles but sadly cannot handle the world's fastest video game hero! The Game.com's black and white, non-backlit screen stutters and jerks while the sounds beep and bloop one sound at a time. Worthy of the Sonic title? Hardly.

    I find it extremely funny and ironic that the worst Sonic game ever made happens to be the last Classic Sonic game era.

      I'm from the future. Sonic Mania exists, and is EXCELLENT! And YET ANOTHER classic Sonic game called Sonic Superstars comes out the month I'm writing this as well, and ALSO looks really good!

    The gamecom lived off the magazine ads. I remember thinking that the gamecom was an awesome powerhouse handheld with a monochrome screen. When they had games like sonic jam or duke nukem 3D how could it be any different? Well seeing Mark play those games I'm glad I didn't get suckered in. On the other giant sonic hand, seeing the faces Mark does in the reflection make the gamecom awesome again ;)
