In this 'Game On' segment from 3RRR's Byte Into IT, the hosts discuss the planned release of the handheld Sega Nomad gaming device in 1995.
Sega Nomad, also known as Genesis Nomad, was a portable variation of the Sega Mega Drive console. An earlier version called the Mega Jet was released in Japan and is also referenced here.
Neither the Nomad nor the Mega Jet were particularly long-lived or successful. Pre-release magazine and online hype for new game software and hardware does not always translate into big sales.
