Game Boy Lights, the future is now.

Lovely! I would love to get my hands on one of those someday.

Dude, I forgot those even existed!

can i have the battery cover

really nice systems I picked up a loose one a few years back for about £20 but it came with no battery cover, and I have never seen a replacement, guess they just aren't popular enough to reproduce them

@gamesquest1 aren't they technically the same as Gameboy Pocket? Couldn't that fit?

nope, they take AA batteries instead of AAA, so they have a ridge on the back where the batteries go

EDIT: oooh I now see they have Gameboy light replacement screen guards, mines a lil bit scratched so i might consider that at some point, but still no battery covers around

okay that's cool...

but what's a gameboy light? does it have a backlight? :o

yeah its pretty much a Gameboy pocket with a cool green backlight

A picture of what they look light at night.

lmao even Nintendo's backlight looks unofficial.

Remove the included batteries ASAP.

Mines almost ruined my brand new Game Boy Pocket.

@Jacklack3 its actually quite nice on the eyes in person, I have seen some of the diy kits people use and they sometimes seem too bright to the point where its hard on the eyes or they have very uneven lighting , but I have seen some that seem to be on par if not better than the Gameboy light, but tbf we are comparing 1996 technology vs 2015 or so so its not hard to imagine things might have improved a little bit ....but I like it

this i nice! i wanted one when I heard about but I really never saw im person, just a friend that had told me
I would like to ahve one today but i'm not willing to give a fortune for one :v Id'd rather mod an gbc xD

You got all 3 together for only 60$ or each?

Vipera: I did remove the batteries, one box has a bad top cover because of a leakage before I got the unit. The Gameboy is ok though. After seeing this I sold off my entire sealed Pocket, Color, and GBA system Collection. I had alot and even doubles and triples of certain units. People pay three to four times if that seal is in place. I feel sorry for them because they are buying a ticking timebomb. Not a good investment, even seeing these systems with included AAs in those VGA grade boxes makes me cringe, because its only a matter of time when the box will meltdown, even in that airtight box.

CaptinSodaPop: I paid $60 each. Back then it was a fair price, used ones were selling in the $30s.

Btw, the GameBoy Light uses an electroluminescent panel to provide the lighting, its nice and even with no hot spots from LEDS washing out certain areas. Though it does create a buzz/hum when listening with headphones.

what is a gameboy light?
itsa gameboy with light on screen? .-.
just that?

It was a Japanese exclusive system. The release was between the Pocket and Colors. They introduce a slightly larger system and increased the batteries to two AAs instead of the AAA the pockets used. The switch has three positions: Off;On;On w/backlight. About 50-60K were made in total.

The system also used the a-b buttons from the color models.

looks cool

I have a gameboy micro lying somewhere. Anyone know if I should sell it? it's a launch console.

Piluvr:
Micros are cool, keep it. The production numbers were low for the system compared to the others so it will only go up in price. My Micro Massive Collection.

I do have a sealed gba micro, cool little systems definitely jelly of that collection wish I would have gotten into collecting earlier sometimes
