The Nomad: Genius or Folly?

[j_factor]

Car adapters were produced for Game Gear, and they'll work for Nomad as well.

Just out of curiosity, I remember getting a car adaptor for my game boy a long time ago. It would connet into the place where that cigarette lighter thingw as and plug into the side of my game boy so I could play it in the car. Did the Game Gear or Nomad ever get such a device?

yup
on my Nomad box it has a car adaptor listed as an accessory
MK-2104 or MK-2115

This topic should be re-made in the Genesis Does section as a poll.

I wanted one ever since I saw ads for it in ads that came with my genesis games. But I just couldn't afford it.

Recently, I finally bought one and I love it. I can play genesis games basically anywhere now, and its easily my favorite handheld ever now. Me and my friend even played streets of rage on two player when i took it to his house. The features it has are great, and the setbacks (battery life, small blurs in the screen) aren't nearly enough for me to care. The blurs I don't even notice really, and I'm buying a set of nimh batteries and a charger soon.

Good business decision? No. But for me, its the best handheld there is.

I bought my Nomad new from EB as soon as it got discounted. I've loved it ever since.

I used it all the time while talking transit. I played with a Nomad and Game Gear battery packs. Between the two, I always had more than enough battery life.

Even if the screen had been crystal clear, I wouldn't have tried to beat actiony arcade games on it while riding a bus or subway. Playing Shining Force and Phantasy Star games on the go alone makes the Nomad worthwhile for me.

To this day its my go to system when I want to quickly test a cart or check on a game feature like a sound test or something.

Back in the day, I thought that Sega should've marketed it the same as if it was an entirely new system and repackaged surplus Genesis carts of hit titles as Nomad games.

what serial bus? Even the Genesis doesn't have a serial bus...

might have been a folly back in the day but now:

at $50, with a gaming library of 700, and pretty cheap rechargeable nimh batteries this is one of the best handhelds to own, especially if you own a Genesis/Megadrive.
