Nomad

The Sega Nomad was a handheld gaming console developed and manufactured by Sega. It was released in North America in October 1995. The Sega Nomad was essentially a portable version of the Sega Genesis (also known as the Mega Drive in some regions), which was Sega's popular home video game console. Despite its innovative design and the appeal of playing Sega Genesis games anywhere, the Sega Nomad faced challenges in the market. The handheld console was relatively expensive, and the battery life was short, which limited its practicality for extended gaming sessions. Additionally, it was released at a time when Sega was facing stiff competition from other gaming platforms.
