Nomad is a handheld Genesis. It plays all Genesis carts. It has A/V jacks so
you can hook it into the TV and then you can play it on TV just like you were
playing a Genesis on TV. There are some problems with it, though -- it drains
batteries quickly, and because of the small screen size, some games,
especially text-heavy RPGs, might be hard to play. If you can overlook those
problems, then you can probably enjoy it. I think they cost about $100 right
now (they debuted at almost $200).
