Tiger Electronics' forthcoming Game.Com Pocket Pro handheld looks set to challenge the Game Boy's dominance, thanks to an impressive release list.

Quite how the monochrome delights of Metal Gear Solid on the new machine will shape up to the fancy Game Boy Color is yet to be seen, though current screenshots suggest that the Game.Com Pocket Pro is a very promising and desirable piece of kit. The system is expected to retail at $29.99, with the games weighing in at between $9.99 - $24.99.

Rumour has it that Square will bundle a playable demo of Chrono Trigger 2 with Seiken Densetsu: Legend of Mana on PlayStation. It would make sense - both are sequels to immensely popular Super Famicom RPGs of yesteryear.
