Classic Game Room - SEGA NOMAD review

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.

Kind of like the 90s version of Nintendo Switch. You can play it on your TV, then take it with you on the go and still play your game.

It was a dream of mine to own one. When I finally got it, I never pooped so long as when I played Phantasy Star IV. My parents must have been so confused.

Guess we know where the switch idea came from. Sega was ahead of their time.

Is it me or does it look like a camera?

Man I appreciate every single one of your videos been watching since 2010 just got back into game collecting and the nomad is pricey but next on my list 🔥🔥

[TheGlasses]

You say the speaker is really quiet and you can hardly hear the game, but my Nomad is LOUD. Like, really loud. Maybe your Nomads speaker is faulty?

Your channel was the first video game channel I watched on Youtube. Was the best back in the day.

It's obviously going to be big it was made in the 90s

[DennisForstner]

You can use a PS2 Slim power supply for the Nomad.

As for the lines / physical design... it was the 90's!  It's right at home.  I had one of these back in the day - and while I did think it was awesome - it is true that I basically always had to use the AC adapter - and that screen was pretty bad.  But hey!  It was a whole Genesis that fit in a lunchbox.

I still have my Nomad from when I was a kid. It's still awesome, but I wish I would've picked up the rechargeable pack for it. Standard travel fare was a backpack with a large battery charger, and about 20 rechargeable batteries, lol.

"hey kid, look at this awesome d-pad on my sega, i'll let you play if you lend me some AA's"

"what's a d-pad? what's AA's? and what's a sega?"



it's amazing how much its changed in such a short time, i'm only 26 years old and already kids are laughing at the shitty, obsolete technology I grew up with and I hate their touchphones and social media.

God I wish I could go back an relive my childhood. Even though we were so broke. we had to save up, just to be poor. It was still a hell of a ride and so much memories. :)

[drelius]

the screen looks better than on gamegear!

[themetalgod]

I got mine back in the 90's. I still have it and it still works today. It was great back in the 90's to play my sega games on the go. Yes the battery pack is def a must have for it. It takes forever to charge the battery pack.

It's truxton, nomad-er were you are.
Hehe! heeee....

[jcruz]

This is awesome! Im surprised more people weren't willing to buy this seeing as it doubles as a regular genesis console at home too

[BarstoolBlues]

I beat Phantasy Star IV on my sega nomad...aw...memories.

[joshuahenderson]

I loved my Sega Nomad! Saved up a ton of money to buy it (forget how much for). My dad and I would take turns playing NHL and Madden on it during road trips. Wish I still had the thing.

I'm nomad, get it? Get it? Nevermind
