The '''Sega Nomad''', also called '''Sega Genesis Nomad''' or just the '''Nomad''', was a [[:Category:Handheld platforms|handheld game system]] sold for the North American consumer market which played Sega Mega Drive game cartridges. The system was similar to the Japanese Sega Mega Jet but featured a built-in color screen; the Mega Jet needed a separate monitor. Its codename during development was '''Project Venus''', as per Sega's policy at the time of codenaming their systems after planets.

===Game library===
The Nomad does not have its own game library, but instead plays standard Genesis games. At the time of the Nomad's launch, the Genesis already had over 500 games available to play. However, no pack-in title was included for the Nomad. The Nomad can boot unlicensed, homebrew, and bootleg games made for the Genesis.

Some earlier third-party titles have compatibility issues when played on the Nomad but can be successfully played through the use of a Game Genie. Likewise, due to its lack of compatibility with any of the Genesis' add-ons, it is unable to play any games for the [[Sega Master System]], [[Sega CD]], or [[Sega 32X]]. The Nomad employs two different regional lockout methods, physical and software, but methods have been found to bypass these restrictions.{{-}}
