Butt ugliest hand held console ever

[Vecanti]

The Game Gear was better than the Sega Nomad.  That thing is like a big square turd.   Though I think the Nomad was a cool idea (stolen from some one? ) if not a little too late.  Would be cool to mod a Turbo Express with video out and and second controller port (or some sort of turbo tap out port).

I've always wanted a Nomad.  Why is it a big square turd?  I think it's genius that you can play the games on a TV and have a second player join in.

drug wars was awesome.

I flunked math class twice because of that game in high school.

I don't know if I should be proud of that lol...

The first Game Boy - It was white with a 4 shades of green screen. Can't get much uglier than that.

The First LYNX - Nice shape but, just way to wide.

I'm sure there are others out there but, none of them come to mind right now.

Why is it a big square turd?

By turd I just meant teh looks. It was just a BIG black square.  If I remember right where the speaker was is sort of where you left palm covers it.   

But, no, the device itself was awesome.  Like you said, it was not 'just' a Genesis hand held.  But it had video out!  It had a second controller port!  Yeah, that type of thinking/design made it actually awesome.

There was something kind of chunky-looking about the Nomad but, the first time I seen one, I still wanted it even in spite of it's looks.

Yeah, I agree the speaker placement doesn't look very well thought out. 

I've never actually held one in person so I don't know how comfortable it is to hold or how good the screen is.  I'm guessing (hoping) the screen is comparable to a TurboExpress and would guess the battery life is about the same (nothing to write home about), but still having a portable game system that plays nearly the entire Genesis library and has the ability to connect to a TV and play co-op is pretty freaking sweet, especially back then. 

Of course nowadays I'm tempted to just get a Caanoo and be done with it.

No particular order but GBA Color, original GP32 and N-Gage.  All unappealing and didn't want any of them... ever.

Just so that the people voting for N Gage know, there are two different N Gage units. Both are like an iPhone 4S compared to:



Also, there was an "upgrade" called, of course, the Cybiko Xtreme (barf):



Still think the NGage is the worst?

BTW, I had the chance to play a SNES emulator on the NGage QD. It wasn't that bad! The controls were actually decent and you don't have to talk into it sideways like the original. Overall though, yeah, f*ck that thing.
