Sega's Genesis Nomad did in 1995 what Nintendidn't do until 2017 with the Switch - it let you play your home console games on to go.*

*Provided that you also carried a duffel bag of spare AA batteries for it.

I've played one before. As a kid, it was mind blowing to see the full color screen playing a Genesis game, but pretty much everything else about it sucks.

Me too. I was a Sega kid for sure. Has HAC ever talked about the Sega Channel? Truly ground breaking

I had one of these. The batteries would last the bus ride to school and not a minute longer.
