More from Ribnose
One more of my Brave Little Toaster-inspired character, a SEGA Nomad.
She's so tired. So tired inside.

Yeah, that's rough. They're still around, but outside of shelling out for one on ebay I'm not sure how one gets ahold of them now. Mine probably came from a FuncoLand, I'm not sure, since they were Christmas gifts from my parents. I still remember playing that Genesis back in '90-91 and how it blew away anything my brother and I had seen or heard before.
Fair... didn't read the box and just typed off the pic and the overall look don't scream one gender or the other.
This did make me think about that world with devices like this if they where made with capacitors that would leak and go bad after a while. What would that do to an anthro one as with the one I had I could put a game in and hear it, but the screen would not turn on. Imagine the kind of villain you could have with something like this, a device made of bad parts and knows it or perhaps as the parts go bad they do... so many possibilities,

(Yeah, to be perfectly fair, the long eyelashes I gave her don't show up well on the picture and we're otherwise talking about an electronic device, so... gender is a bit abstract here)
That's a fascinating concept, too. Since TBLT established that devices can be combined and can possess more than one distinct individual selves... Imagine a self-made Frankenstein's Monster of appliances rolled together on a never-ending quest for parts that haven't failed yet...
This Nomad's backstory isn't very fleshed out, but I do know that her battery pack is shot so she needs her power adapter cable with her at all times. A portable unit that's barely portable anymore due to needing very frequent recharges.

I dunno man, I think you're dropping out the most important part and the whole reason for its existence, which is that it was a portable home system - not a Game Gear, but a Genesis you could take anywhere. That made it the first of its kind, and the whole notion that you could play a console game anywhere without having to rely on a watered down handheld port of it was completely novel and unexpected at the time. The Nomad envisioned a future we didn't fully realize until things like the Switch came along. That's more than just a neat little toy in my eyes.
You know, that's a good point. It wasn't truly the first. So I wasn't exactly right there! But yeah, both of them were way ahead of their time. The Nomad was just the one I knew about - I would've felt the same way if I'd known about the TurboExpress at the time. What a wild concept! And now I have a little handheld that runs Android and emulates anything from Atari 2600 to Dreamcast... for under a hundred bucks. Absolute madness.
