I've recently taken a plunge and bought a modified GameBoy Advance(not the SP) with a backlit IPS screen. My 8 year old self would have gone insane seeing such a thing, it's beautiful, crisp and makes playing all the original games a pleasure again, there's something to be said about playing on "original" hardware(I know the screen isn't original but I also have an unmodded GameBoy Colour and it's exactly as I remember - an exercise in sitting somewhere near a light source to see anything, but not near enough so that you can't see anything on the screen). Would highly recommend if someone fancies a good dose of nostalgia.

Yep :) I totally forgot about the backlit screen, a few people have also mentioned it in the comments. It was definitely a killer feature too! Playing in the night without a worry!
