It's exactly like a Game Boy Pocket,except it has a old electronic greenish tint backlight! Nowadays it's kind of outclassed by the GBA SP AGS-101 (or any backlit modded Game Boy Variant ) but it's a really nice piece in my collection! It plays Game Boy games greatly as excepted. It has a nice battery cover which gives it a little bit of a "Grip" which no other game boy system has,which makes it feel very nice in my hands after long play sessions,compared to say the Game Boy Color or the GBA SP. This doesn't really make it worth the Hefty Price Tag,but it does give it a nice little niche. Overall it's a great item for Game Boy and Nintendo Collectors,or those who want one of Nintendo's more obscure consoles,but for those who just want to play Game Boy games,I would recommend the GBA SP AGS-101 or to mod Another preferred Game Boy Model.Read full review

So having grown up with the Game Boy Color, I will admit I do miss the contrast of the colored Game Boys. That having been said, I don't know why Japan didn't release this product in the US, because an officially back-lit Game Boy Pocket (which essentially is what the Game Boy Light is) has to be one of the best early-era mobile systems they've made. I've been loving it at home, work, you name it. Light or dark, it's fantastic.

The device received was near mint, as advertised. Better than expected from the listing photos even. It shows the lightest signs of normal wear from normal use. The backlighting works well and the buttons feel great. Everything else functions as well as new. No refurbishing needed.

I didn't even know that the Gameboy Light existed until earlier this year. As a kid, I always wanted a Gameboy that had the ability to be played at night, and it turns out this was the answer. Sadly, it was never released in the United States. Now as an adult, this system becomes a part of my retro system collection. It works exactly as it should and the 90's "indiglo" backlight is a great feature that makes me think of the 90's. If you are an average retro game player... get a GBA-SP, if you are a collector... get this.

Strange that they didn't make a backlit screen standard after this, the 3rd and final edit of the original Gameboy. We would have to wait until 2004 for the Gameboy SP to have that standard. 2004! This GB Freakin Light came in excellent condition and really looks cool displayed on my RoseColored Gaming display. Thanks!
