I still consider the AGS 101 GBA SP one of the best handhelds of all time. One day, I'd love to get an original GBA modded with an AGS 101 screen.

I agree. I loved the form factor of the SP and the clicky buttons. I sold mine ages ago when I was hard up for money alongside my other consoles, flash carts etc. One of my biggest regrets...

I never had an SP, but still got my original GBA bought on launch :)

You can probably find some on eBay, or just emulate it (doing it on a DS or 3DS is probably the closest you can get).

They're really expensive now. I've tried playing them on my phone but it's just not the same

From a short search on eBay, it appears that a mild conditioned AGS 101 will set one back about 75 USD. Ouch. I knew they raised in price, but that's a tad drastic. Makes me appreciate that I got mine for only 24$. Emulation on phones is also terrible. Playing Metroid or any precise/action game with a touchscreen is asking for trouble.

I could send you mine the next time I'm home if you'd like? Could be a good few weeks until it happens, but since I have a backlit original system, I don't use the SP. It's also been reshelled a little badly, so the power switch can be temperamental... Good enough if you fancy reshelling yourself though lol
