    I remember using something similar for my GBA. They sucked, but they were better than the alternative of not playing.

      Hahaha, yeah you’re right, this sucked, but not worse then rawdogging an unlit lcd in on the go conditions. ColorLCD is a lot worse still without backlight. But not playing as alternative… phew… yeah…

        I remember waiting for my parents to drive by street lights so could unpause and kind of make out the screen. Really I was just walking Link around the beaches of Koholint collecting rupees until I maxed out. Then I’d buy lots of bombs and stuff, use those, then repeat the process.

        Sigh. Good times…

    I had a light for mine. Took 4 AA batteries. Amazing that I never complained about that… But my mom made us use rechargable batteries.

    There were so many versions of this. I wonder if Nintendo ever produced or endorsed an official one.

    My parents got me one with an orange light, which washed out the colors but (probably) made it less obnoxious to use while they were driving.
