Nice! My Nomad will be in my hands on the 10th, I can't wait.

Good on you for keeping those screens in good shape. When I went to Game Core 2009, there were a large number of scuffed and cracked Nomads. Made me shed a tear.

The Game Gear travel case was my case of choice for Nomad transporting. In fact, I didn't own a Game gear until a year after buying the travel case.

Yeah I always try and keep my stuff in good working order. Those screens are mostly in very good nick.
I've also got custom made carry cases for both, the only thing I still need is to get a battery pack for the unit to the left of the pic. It works fine off of the AC adapter but then that's not the point of a portable system.

I've got two Nomads that I've had since I was a kid, I freaking loved to play Bloodlines on airplanes. My brother and I got into an argument once and he threw one to the floor. Now I have one Nomad and one Nomad with a cracked screen.


My memories of Nomad are bitter sweet.

Fitting, considering the Nomad began as an in-flight gaming system called the Mega Jet. :mrgreen:

Lately I've been putting on psp or ds lite protective screens on all of my portables to prevent scratches on the screens.

This thread makes me want a nomad even more, nice pics except for that weird last one.
