Good price, but hard to see

The reason I bought the Nintendo Game Boy Advance was for my sons 9th birthday. He really wanted a DS, but that was not something we could afford. I didn't know much about the game boy, but I knew that some of the same games from the game boy could be played on a DS, so if we bought one in the future, it wouldn't be a total waste. The Game Boy itself arrived in great condition! However, after my son opened it on his birthday and started playing it, I realized that he was having a very hard time seeing the screen. I purchased two different lights, but they didn't seem to help. I have limited his time that he is allowed to play the game boy for fear of hurting his vision. Regardless, he still loves it! It was a great deal at the time, I just wish I knew it wasn't backlit. I wish I would have done more research initially. I think it is a great system to use as a first system, just watch the amount of time spent playing it. Also, have them sit in bright light or under a lamp. It will make it easier to see.Read full review
