The Sega Nomad battery hog made me respect it after 20 years
Picked up a dusty Nomad at a swap meet for $40 last month, figured it was just a gimmick that drained AA's like a drunk at last call. Hooked it up to a wall adapter and played Sonic 2 for three hours straight, no screen tearing, no bullshit. The thing is basically a Genesis in your hands, which sounds dumb but feels RADICAL when you realize nothing else did that in 1995. Then I tried it on batteries and got maybe 45 minutes, so I get why nobody remembers it fondly. Anyone else have a console that was actually great once you fixed its one obvious flaw?
