lol, it's actually kind of funny because it's true the screen was so unbearably hard to see in any environment with the slightest bit of brightness that the next model of the Gameboy Advance was the SP and they made sure to put a backlight on that sucker! It drained the battery hours too early but I remember as a child that as long as I carried my charger around it didn't matter much anyway! It was all worth it to be able to play Zelda in the middle of summer when I was constantly being told to go outside and play haha! Good memories! :)
