Whats that game.com device in the 1997 Argos catalog shot? Amazing to see a domain name in a 1997 ad, and then the device is for checking email! So cool for the time.

Wikipedia has the details: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Game.com

"Accessing the Internet required the use of an Internet cartridge and a modem, neither of which were included with the console. Email messages could be read and sent on the Game.com using the Internet cartridge, and the Game.com supported text-only web browsing through Internet service providers. Email messages could not be saved to the Game.com's internal memory. In addition to a Game.com-branded 14.4 kbit/s modem, Tiger also offered an Internet service provider through Delphi that was made to work specifically with the Game.com."
