Wormlight Advance: Purple

If you add the wormlike, and fiddle with the positioning so that the glare spot is just north of the screen, you will be able to play the GBA. It works best like this in a totally dark room.

Also, if you put some flat black material just north of the screen, then you can really cut the glare from the light down.

You would think that the Worm light for the Game Boy Advance would be as good as the Worm light for the Game Boy Color. It is not -- this is because the Game Boy Advance does not put out as much voltage to its link port as the Game Boy color -- so the Worm light is very dim! It is OK if you put a Game Boy Color Game in the system -- then the voltage in the link port is higher and the light is brighter. If you are looking for a good light buy a Light Shield Advance for ($) at your local GameStop/Babbages. You also might want to try Interact's GlowGuard -- which is similar looking to the Light Shield Advance, except I think it might be thinner at the top -- which was my only complaint with the Light Shield Advance.

If I could give this item 0 stars, I would. The glare is horrible and the light does not evenly or completely cover the screen. On my unit I had trouble getting the pass through to work correctly. I had to jiggle it to work. If the light was more diffused it would be inproved, but Nyko also needs to improve the build quality on the whole. AVOID this garbage.

I bought this with my GBA and it did not work well at all. The light is too focused and creates too much glare to see the game any better than with no light at all. I have found the Pelican Light Shield to be a much better device which has the added benefit of protecting the screen when not in use and at the same price as the worm light.

The Nyko Wormlight Advance is a very inexpensive solution to the Gameboy Advance's almost nonexistent backlighting problem. Sure, a ton of light comes out, and sure, if you don't adjust the light it will be right in the middle of the screen. But that's why they made it flexible! All I had to do was move the light to the right a little bit, and it worked just fine. There was some glare on the screen, but is was on the black part. This product really brings out GBA's brilliant true colors. Buy it!
