You know what I really miss about old Game Boys? This fucker right here:



No backlight on the Game Boy meant that you couldn't see anything unless you were sitting in a well-lit place. God help you if you were in the back seat of a car on a cloudy day.

In theory, wormlights acted as flashlights, illuminating your screen. In reality, they looked like this:



When the Game Boy Advanced came out with the bright LCD screen, it blew my mind. If you ever feel the need to play a game that's both under- and over-exposed, though, I recommend the wormlight.

I used to do that as a kid! I had no idea it had a name. I was very disappointed when I moved and found out that pull tabs were all but obsolete in the US. I still have the first half of a belt I was making. If I ever find those tabs again, I'll have to finish it for old time's sake.
