One of the best handhelds

I'm a huge fan of the Gameboy line. What I like about the Gameboy Pocket is not only its size, but how big the screen is. It actually has a slightly larger screen than the original gameboy. I'd say it's biggest shortcoming is its battery life. It takes 2xAAA batteries and it only lasts about 10 hours. For that I highly recommend using rechargeable batteries. Also, much like the original gameboy, the screen is not backlit but it gets much better lighting than the original. If you're up to it, a backlight can be installed on this little handheld. Also, for those of you who don't know, the Gameboy Pocket can't play Gameboy Color or Gameboy Advance games. All in all it's a great system!
