Opening Snide Remarks: You gotta wonder sometimes about these companies. This
device comes from the "Ain't that clever?" files.. and it's a small, light
unit called "The Worm Light". It's a light without a magnifier and it does
not need batteries.

+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

Impressions: the Worm Light is a little cord with a lamp bulb on one end and
a Game Link plug on the other; you plug it into the Game Link cable port and
it draws energy to light up the GBC from the Link cable. A really ingenious
little device that looks spiffy and is available in Purple and Clear Purple
for the time being. These sold out really quickly at the Babbages where I
bought it; and I have to agree that this is definately a unique device to
own. You should get one if you want to play in the dark.

Liked: It's inexpensive, it contains no batteries, it's REALLY bright, and it
just seems "made" for the GBC. Excellent little device. It's small too; so
you can take it anywhere.

Hated: Umm.. it could eat your batteries, and it shakes a little when you
play sometimes. If you're playing in the car... it shakes a bit and that can
be annoying, sometimes the light isn't centered correctly and you have to
adjust it a bit. As you adjust it.. the unit I own has a tendancy to "blink"
out and this thing takes up the Game Link Cables place.. which makes linking
up for a quick late night Pokémon Fight impossible.

+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

Improve: They should include a device that allows you to use Link up with a
friend while playing with this device.

+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

Final Words: If you like to have a lot of light and are still "upset" because
the GBC is not back-lit.. get this! You really should...

+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

Score: 89%

+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

Secrets: If you have a "Game Link Adaptor" from Nintendo.. you can use this
device on an Old Game Boy. ;)
