But what if I want to play it on each of my Game Gears simultaneously?
Nice try, battery salesperson... (Because a Game Gear could eat 6 AA batteries in a few hours.)
The nomad is even more efficient, eating six AAs in under two hours!
I know, logically, that the Nomad was kind of goofy and would have been a waste of my hard earned money.
But I still wish I had bought one, anyway. A portable Genesis sounds so cool.
I had a friend who had one (and the expensive rechargeable battery pack) and he turned me onto the Nomad.
There was a few GameCube games, Animal Crossing I know for sure, that was small enough to fit in the Cube's RAM. You could start the game and remove the disk with no ill effects. Obviously the Game Gear didn't have the memory capacity but I think it's a fun fact.
There was a similar case for a lot of PC games in the 2000s as well where everything was on your HDD and the CD was literally just there to make sure you owned the CD so you could start the game and then pass it around the lan party until everyone was in the game.
Oh yeah! I forgot about that. I used to do that with my brothers with Battlefront 2 when we were kids. We'd link together two desktops with a crossover cable and play LAN.
