1.0 out of 5 stars I wish there had been some reviews when I bought mine..., May 30, 2000

What a waste of money. It is certainly neat looking but it doesn't work at all. I never used it enough to find out that it drains the batteries faster. I put it on my game boy, was never able to get it adjusted so that it wouldn't glare on the screen and took it off. Now I have no idea what to do with it. As someone else mentioned, it also appears to be so fragile that you are reluctant to try to adjust it much. Supposedly the "white light" was supposed to work perfectly with the game boy. I can't believe anyone actually tried this on a game boy and thought it was worth marketing.

Don't buy it. Get someone to hold a pen light over your shoulder so that it glares off the screen and you will see what a bad idea this is.

Years ago, when the original came out they had a combination magnify and light that worked quite well. Maybe it was because there were two lights on either side of the screen at the correct angle. It had it's own batteries so you weren't draining the game boy. And it didn't block any ports.

Bottom Line: JUST SAY NO!

I have had my light for a while and it has not messed up or flickered at all. This is a perfect gift for a gameboy freak like me.

I have to admit, this is a pretty nifty invention, but it does not work well with GameBoy. It drains the battery from the GameBoy about 3 times than normal. There is a tremendous glare and the light only covers about half the screen when you change the angle to get rid of the glare. Like any other parent, they'd say it is very bad for your eyes. So when you run to the next room in Zelda, arrows are flying at you and you can't see where they're coming from. You change the angle, find the enemies then you can't find Link. Then you switch back to original angle and by the time you get close enough to the enemy, you're dead. They aren't very flexible and seem so fragile that you don't want to bend it. When I got it in the mail, I was surprised how small it was. Also, if you are playing Pokemon or some 2 player game, the Worm Light blocks up the Link Cable slot. Please, think about this and I highly recommend you not to purchase this item.
