You get to play all most of your Genesis games that's been collecting dust for ages. Very fashionable since Retro is back.
Bad Points
Not all games are playable; 32X can't be played on the Nomad since it can only handle 16bit games.
General Comments
The SEGA Nomad was way ahead of its time when it was first conceived. Now, it's still ahead of its time for hardcore game collectors. If you still have some SEGA Genesis (Mega Drive) games laying some where in your house, you still can play it if you have one of these. Now, the good thing about this is that the Nomad is region free like the Genesis. But of course, because of the different size cartridge size per region, it might have some technical problems inserting the game. Over all, because of how the battery life had improve over the age, the Nomad can run for 4-6 hours which is pretty good seeing that it supports AV cables to TV gameplay, backlight for the color screen, second player controller port. It's still one of the best systems that SEGA had created so if you spot one of these Nmad laying around in your game store, get it or else it's too late!
