Main Page | See live article | Alphabetical index The Sega Nomad was released in October 1995, for $180 US dollars. Its basic idea was to turn the popular Sega Genesis into a portable device, it was able to hook up to the TV via AV ports and was basically a Genesis that one could also pick up and take on the road. However, poor battery life (3-5 hours), late release, and the fact that only a NTSC format was made (no PAL) it didn't sell to particulary well, still it was relatively popular for fans of the Genesis.
