you're not the sharpest tool in the shed if you purchased a GBA and assumed it be backlit or whatever in 2003, considering EVERY single Gameboy iteration before had been the exact same.

seems like a common trend here is people buying things with literally NO research or investigation. you're basically guranteeing yourself disappointment if you purchase things without knowing what you're getting in advance. its not a pair of pants, these are hundreds of $$$ systems and its up to you to do your fair diligence in advance

Yeah. Silly me for assuming I would be able to, ya know, see the screen. I must be pretty stoopid. And it came out in 2001. I bought it on launch day. I took the knowledge I had on the system, gathered mostly from magazines, and bought it. There wasn't nearly the amount of easily obtainable information in 2001 as there is now. Get off your high horse.

The GBA screen is the same as the GBC screen. And better than the GB screen. I don't get how you had problems seeing it. If you've used the original GB, Pocket, or color, before it. All the sytems had the same amount of glare problems, when using it in the sun. And the same limited angle. Were it worked under a light bulb. Even the worm lights bounced the same way on GBC and GBA.
