Opening Snide Remarks: Looks... kinda weird. I bought mine for $8.99 so I
couldn't pass this up. Was this based on those curly straws? Was that how
it started? I hope this is brighter than all the other lights I've used...

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

Impressions: Basically, it's a curley flexible wire with a link cable
connector on one end (you might be able to use it with the old GB through
one of those universal link cables...but I wouldn't recommend it. Besides,
where would it hang from? Your third arm?) and a "street-light style" light 
on the other end. You can adjust the position of the light, giving you 
better visibility without the whole thing beingin your view. The light is 
super bright LED, and it's WHITE! It's very small and it doesn't suck much 
juice from your batteries either. The only problem I have is a little glare 
from the light. But adjusting it here and there, I can reduce that glare. 
It's best to "pull" the curls out just a little so it extends a bit higher, 
just so the light will hit the whole screen of the Game Boy. Also works 
best if you position it near the top of your Game Boy, with the head of the 
light tilted towards the screen. The only thing you can't do, however, is
use the link cable to play head-to-head or use your printer while using the
Worm Light. You can pull this baby out while playing a game and it won't hurt
anything, and you can also put it back in while playing. And this thing only
turns on when you turn the power ON on your Game Boy.

Liked: It's just so cool! And this one came in a new color! Clear Green!
(Couldn't find any other colors...there was only 2 on the shelf.)

Hated: Kinda gets in the way. It would have been nicer if they added a place
to hook up your cable to the light like near the connecter. That would have
topped this baby off! Other than that, nothing!

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

Improve: This is near perfect! I can use this to light my room! Well, maybe 
not..

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

Final Words: This comes in different colors! Neato! And it's see-thru too!

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

Score: % 100%

Secrets: nYKo might improve on this...maybe not. They should. They should
make a new model that has another "available" link to play multiplayer games.
Yes they should...
