      I remember having some sort of light for my Game Boy Color, back when I was a kid. Lights while most of them are not great, were a must when playing in the dark.

    I had the Flo Light. It was easily my favorite early GBA accessory. The illumination it provided was pretty cool, and I liked that it folded down to protect the screen when not in use. A nice touch is how the light was exposed when folded down, which gave it a cool "flashlight" feature with the momentary "try me" button on the front. Gamester did a great job with that one.

      Yeah, it's literally from before bright LEDs existed at all, let alone white ones. The double arm one is from when they already existed and were still horrible blue + yellow to make it look white but atrocious for screens. It's no real wonder why Nintendo stuck with no light for so long after we look at what Sega, Atari and NEC had to do to get their color screens lit (Also Nintendo themselves on the GB Light).

      That's cheap trend marketing 101 - find a popular thing, find a way to "improve" it the cheapest way possible, send out a hundred thousand units of your solution, make it seem like an "essential accessory" that will "elevate the customer's experience", and wait for the money to roll in. It also helps if you don't target the primary consumer directly but instead market your product to the people associated with the primary consumer who don't understand the main product, the more gullible and easily confused they are the better.
      Guaranteed the majority of these weird accessories that were actually sold were bought by well meaning grandparents, uncles, aunts and parents who thought they had a home run gift for a birthday, Christmas or other special occasion and had zero clue about what they were getting.

    I like this type of content. Reminds me of Stop Skeleton from Fighting with reviewing weird peripherals.

    The Illuminator gives off the vibe of being a pioneer, playing Game Boy by candlelight.

    Elliot, I really liked the Gamster Flow Light! It looked compact, and had a great light! I'm sure it made the GBA a lot heavier though with taking 3 AA batteries. Just out of curiosity, but after you open brand new items, do you keep the box or packaging it was in?

    It's amazing to think that all of these accessories have been through idea, design, production, packaging, and whatever else to sell them. I can't see how any profit could ever have been made. Oh well.

    Fellow younger brothers, our older brothers have suffered and slaved away for games and their accessories to be were they are today
    A big thank you to them all

    The GBA SP case is awesome 👌 I wish I had one. I'd get some custom engraving on the front.

    11:06 - "A GameBoy LIGHT Accessory" - why would anyone buy a light for a gameboy light, that is stupid marketing

    I had an illuminator when I lived in Texas as a kid. I loved it I thought it looked like some kind of whacky Crane arm attachment. I used to LOVE whacky gameboy accessories and had a few others but "The Crane" was always my favorite. You can put brighter bulbs in it. and the way the battery compartment is kind of just thrown together it would be easy to mod it for a modern higher volt lipo. but keeping it original is probly tops for you.

    wow! I'm surprised how well that light worked! You can see it so clearly and the light is so well diffused that you can see the entire hand held clearly. I would've loved a light like that as a kid.
