Message: [QUOTE="NotReallyHere, post: 371304, member: 81170"] Please don't assume ;-> I owned a Game Boy as a kid, and remember pining over a Game Gear and always wanting to try it out whenever a classmate would bring it to school. But the Nomad was on a whole different level. At least, in theory! Little Kid Me didn't think too much about the economics (or environmental impact) of chewing through so many batteries, which I think is the main reason I never got either handheld as a birthday gift... There was one memorable birthday party at a friend's house where a bunch of us kids stayed up all night eating junk food and playing every game in the house. One kid brought his Nomad, and everyone was just captivated by it. Kept grabbing Genesis games off the shelf and popping them in, amazed that they all worked, just like that. The catch? The kid didn't have any batteries, as his parents would only let him play it with the AC adapter plugged into the wall! So we all sat on the floor, huddled a good two feet away from the wall socket, taking turns passing the Nomad around. What a time to be alive :LOL: [/QUOTE]
