Description

Solitaire is a card game built into the Game.Com's BIOS which plays like a standard game of Klondike Solitaire. It can be controlled exclusively with the touchscreen. The game features a timer which starts at 240 seconds. As cards are cleared out the player will gain some score, starting out with -52 points. A notable difference from other similar games is that the back of the cards have a tiger on them, referencing the console manufacturer.

Based on the handheld toy of the same name, Lights Out is an expanded edition of the original brain-teaser, which was available as the Game.Com's pack-in game. Players face a 6x6 grid (as opposed to the original's 5x5 grid) with a select number of lights lit and their goal, as in the original game, is to turn all the lights out (hopefully in the fewest possible moves). The player does this by using the stylus to touch the desired light, which will toggle it and adjacent lights on/off. Each puzzle has a certain minimum amount of steps for the player to perform in order to turn all the lights out (beginning at three and increasing by one every six puzzles). After that amount has been exceeded, the player has 10 steps to complete the puzzle or they will fail the puzzle and be forced to try again.

In addition to the original Lights Out, two other modes of play are available - Lit Only, which only allows the use of lights that are lit, and Toggle, where the player must press a light that is lit, then a light that is not, and so on, until the puzzle is either solved or failed. There's also a Random option for all three modes, where players encounter one of up to 60 billion puzzles to solve.
