			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Way back in the wayback machine, Sega released a bulky handheld called the <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sega_Nomad">Nomad</a>. This portable gaming console could play Genesis cartridges on the go. But the problem with the Nomad was its high price (almost $200 bucks), abysmal battery life, and bulky design. Never mind the fact that Sega discontinued the Nomad more than 10 years ago. So what&#8217;s a Sega fanboy or girl supposed to do? If you&#8217;re like me, just wait a couple of weeks and pick up the new Gen Mobile.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="size-full wp-image-21618  aligncenter" title="sega_genesis_genmobile_portable" src="http://technabob.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2009/10/sega_genesis_genmobile_portable.jpg" alt="sega_genesis_genmobile_portable" width="600" height="439" /></p>
<p>This new handheld isn&#8217;t made by Sega, but the AtGames Gen Mobile is fully-licensed by the original console maker. AtGames has previously made <a href="http://technabob.com/blog/2007/12/31/sega-genesis-portable-get-your-retro-jollies-on-the-run/">some Genesis portables</a>, but this is the first one they&#8217;ve made that can actually play all of your original Genesis cartridges wherever you go.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="size-full wp-image-21619  aligncenter" title="sega_genesis_genmobile_handheld" src="http://technabob.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2009/10/sega_genesis_genmobile_handheld.jpg" alt="sega_genesis_genmobile_handheld" width="600" height="433" /></p>
<p>In addition to playing classic Genesis and Japanese Mega Drive carts, the GenMobile comes with 20 built-in Sega games, including classics like Sonic Spinball, Golden Axe and Altered Beast. It&#8217;s also got an AV output so you can play games on your TV screen if you don&#8217;t want to squint and watch all of your games on the 2.5-inch LCD screen.</p>
<p>And if you&#8217;re not in the market for a handheld but still want to play all your old Genesis games, be sure to check out the new Gen Core &#8211; the smallest complete Genesis system I&#8217;ve seen. Plus, it looks like Sonic!</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="size-full wp-image-21620  aligncenter" title="sega_genesis_gen_core" src="http://technabob.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2009/10/sega_genesis_gen_core.jpg" alt="sega_genesis_gen_core" width="600" height="525" /></p>
<p>Want one? I sure do. You can order the Gen Mobile over at <a href="http://stoneagegamer.com/genmobile.aspx">Stone Age Gamer</a> for $54.99 (USD). The <a href="http://stoneagegamer.com/gencorepre-ordershippingearlysept.aspx">Gen Core</a> sells for $39.99.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Here&#8217;s a fun way to play some of your favorite 16-bit console oldies whenever the whim strikes. This new portable plays a selection of games from the classic SEGA Genesis (aka Mega Drive) console.</p>
<p style="text-align: center"><img src="http://technabob.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2007/12/portable_sega.jpg" alt="SEGA Portable Mega Drive" /></p>
<p><a href="http://www.play-asia.com/paOS-13-71-8y-77-6-49-en-15-portable-70-2f9m.html"><br />
AtGames Mega Drive Portable</a> is loaded up with a twenty licensed classic (and some not-so-classic) titles from the late 80s console. The compact system features a backlit LCD color screen, and can also output to a TV via composite video if you want to play the games on a bigger screen. While the games aren&#8217;t 100% identical to the originals (word is that the audio is a little inaccurate), gameplay and graphics are said to be pretty accurate overall.</p>
<p>The built-in titles include favorites like <em>Sonic and Knuckles</em>, <em>Ristar</em>, <span class="postbody"><em>Alex Kidd in the Enchanted Castle</em>, </span><span class="postbody"><em>Golden Axe</em>, <em>Ecco the Dolphin</em> and </span><span class="postbody"><em>Altered Beast</em>. As with most retro gaming collections, there are a few duds in there too, but it&#8217;s still sounds well worth the $39 price tag. </span></p>
