The Sega Nomad is a portable version of the Sega Genesis console, released in 1995. It accepts the same power supply and AV cords as the model 2 Sega Genesis, as it can also be used as a home console. Instead of having an internal compartment for batteries as most portable consoles do, an external "battery pack" was sold separately: otherwise, one can only use it when it is plugged into the wall. The Nomad was originally sold at a retail price of $180.
