Worm Light
Nyko
Reviewed by Mew2001
Compatible with: Gameboy Pocket and Color
Size:  Sticks 2 inches from side of GBC and sits 3 inches above the
screen.
Price: $9.99 (US dollars) 

Opening Snide Remarks: Who would have ever imagined.  A light for the
gameboy that doesn't include an annoying magnifier!  You may be
thinking: It's third party, it must be crap.  But that would be wrong.

Impressions: I've had my Worm Light for about two weeks, and love it
already.  It's amazing, and very cool, that Nyko was able to draw power
from the link port for this device.  The light is actually a small
white LED (light emitting diode).  The package says it will last
forever, so I can't comment on blub life.  I assume it will last a very
long time, but if it doesn't, there is a one year warranty.   It looks
small, and cheap, but it most certainly is neither one.

Liked: There is hardly anything (in my opinion) not to like (sorry
about the double negative) about this device.  I love the fact that it
requires no batteries of its own, no more buying two different sizes of
batteries.  I also love the fact that it's tiny.  It adds no noticable
weight to my GBC, although it lights up the screen exceptionally well. 

Hated: You can't use a game link cable while using the Worm Light.  I
can't say anything about how it shortens battery life because I haven't
had it long enough.  Other than that, I can't think of anything else
bad to say about it.

Final Words: All in all, the Worm Light is worlds better than any
light/magnifier I have ever had the displeasure of using.  I suggest
you go to your nearest Babbages, Electronics Boutique, or Best Buy and
buy yours as soon as you finish reading this review.
