2.0 out of 5 stars May fall apart after a few adjustments, June 24, 2000

I like the idea of an add on light for the gameboy which doesn't require an external power source. However, two things really changed my perception of this item when I finally got my WormLight.

First, the light can give off an annoying glare when it hits the screen. It was next to impossible to adjust the lamp to get rid of the glare while maintaining sufficient lighting.

All that adjusting led straight to my second problem, durability. After several adjustments, the wiring at the base of the connector became undone, causing the light to get no power and to be limp when attached to the Gameboy.

The WormLight did not last even an hour. This item may be a bit too fragile for some. If you must buy this, do be careful.

4.0 out of 5 stars Much better than traditional light/magnifiers!, December 31, 1999

I found the wormlight to be MUCH better than tradtional light/magnifiers, mainly because this is only a light, not a light/magnifier. I'm glad someone finally got the idea that people who are buying a light might not want a magnifier, too! :-) Another nice feature: You don't get as much of those rainbow streaks across the screen. In fact, at a certain angle, you get none at all! The only drawbacks are that it still does cause some of those streaks occasionally, and depending on the angle, you can get a big glare-y spot on the screen. My suggestion: When you get it out of the package, stretch it up a little bit, then plug it into your GB and tilt it towards you a bit. This seems to reduce glare and streaks.

Very cool. Works off the Gameboy battery, so it doesn't need another power source. A little bit of a glare, but you can adjust the position of the light to minimize the glare. I've used a couple of different types of lights for the Gameboy; this is by far the best. Color of the light doesn't quite match the color of the Gameboy, but oh well. Close is close, right?
