The screen on a regular Gameboy Advance is nearly impossible for me to see, I had to buy a seperate attachment that clips on that shines a light towards the screen. From what I understand, the newest Game Boy has a back lit screen, so that right there would probably make it worth a bit of extra money. The newest one also has a way to plug it into the wall to charge, so you don't need to buy batteries.
I had the original Gameboy, I even took a picture of my Tetris score to mail to Nintendo Power for their high score section. Years went by, then last fall, I was laid off from my job, and I thought I could use part of my severance package to indulge in the GBA. Much of the games seem really geared for kids, but I like Mega Man X and Metroid Fusion. The Street Fighter 2 game is pretty authentic to the original version. I think there is also a way to hook it up to your TV via GameCube, but I'm not sure how that works.
