This episode turned my pee pee to stone.

I'll post you something for xmas if your still at the same address, let me know mo-fo.

[ukretrogameaddict]

@28steryan yeah dude still the same address - i'll sort you out a little something to! i thought you'd like the gameboy light! it's pretty dam sexy mmmmm

[28steryan]

@ukretrogameaddict It aroused me, unlike the new layout.

[hetrogamr84]

I still have a grudge that Nintendo took so long to have screen that was lit. What movie is is the game over line from? The actor is Bill Pullman right?

[ukretrogameaddict]

@hetrogamr84 it was either long battery life or colour and the batteries last 20 mins! it's Hudson from aliens dude - in the words of homer simpson it's bill paxman you idiot!

[GermanGameRoom]

I got the Gameboy Advance SP ags-101 with backlight and I'm very happy with it :D

[ukretrogameaddict]

@GermanGameRoom i've got one of those to there great sp in the dark rules!

[electricadventures]

They were really stuck on the back light point or more battery life over everything point for quite some time. Even the Gameboy Advanced did not have a back light, except for the very hard to get later version of the SP.

It shows you there have been a lot of advances with batteries, look at the life the DS's and the Sony PSP get out of a rechargeable battery, with much more advanced graphics, sounds and gameplay.

Cool thanks for showing this rare example.

[ukretrogameaddict]

@electricadventures yes it was either colour and back light and crap battery life or longer battery life and not being able to play in the dark a tough choice back in the 90's it usually came down to how much batteries cost, which was alot! i didn't know the backlit screen sp's were rare they seem two a penny over here - glad you enjoyed it dude : P

[allthingsawesome2]

cool

[ukretrogameaddict]

@allthingsawesome2 really glad you liked it dude, it's def one of my fav gameboys : )

[timeteam1982]

Nice vid . I would have loved a light on my gameboy color when I was on a airplane to my grandparents back in the day but no stuck with low light for hours to new zealand . I do rember a ad for a gamboy like that in osaka airport back in 98 wish I bought one .

[ukretrogameaddict]

@timeteam1982 that would have been mega cool to get one back in the day from the motherland japan - it must have been super cool to go there, one day.....

[adfot1]

Yey the Lynx prevails you can play it in the dark for 10 minutes before the batteries went.... never seen the light, you have given me a new mission i must have one NOW let the search begin... cheers mate great vid :)

[ukretrogameaddict]

@adfot1 no worries dude glad i could en"lighten" you to the gameboy light - it's pretty dam cool - but the lynx has california games and road blasters so it still wins! good luck on the hunt for one : )
