Official Gadgeteer Hands On Review: Sega Nomad by David Lection Last date revised: 03/25/99 Do you like handheld computer gaming? Do you have a largeRead more
Classic Game Room HD reviews the portable SEGA NOMAD, the Sega Genesis Nomad that plays Sega Genesis game cartridges on the go! Sort of, although this is portable it really isn't that portable due to its size and pathetic battery life. But that doesn't stop it from being a worth addition to any Sega Genesis fan's library. You can play Genesis games on the couch, in bed, on a long road trip. Wherever you want, just don't try to throw this thing in your pocket and save games frequently. This CGR hardware review of the Sega Genesis nomad has pictures and video of the Sega Nomad showing the Sega Nomad playing Sega Genesis video games.Read more

    Is Sega Nomad worth it?
    glady.bechtelar
    about 2 years ago
    Yes, the Nomad is worth it only if you find a good model with a good battery and screen. The screen of the Sega Nomad was the best in the generation, so if you can find one in a reasonable price, do not miss the chance!
