You can mod a GBC with a light mod, I am not sure if it is labtop quality lighting but the modification is out there and is cheap in parts ( over priced in regular buy locations ). I want to do that forever.

What is stupid is that I have an "Extra Bright" GBA that was modded with "Extra-Extra-Bright" lighting. Somebody took a beat-up garbage GBA and gave it a new case, etc and modded it.

....

I have a GBC nearby ( among Black-Gameboy and two broken Regular-Gameboys that needs love etc ) and the deal was ( when it was popular ) we would just turn on the light ( burn the electrical bill ) but nowadays I have a desk-lamp with a shade or even use the sun light if I can.

I remember those dark days when GB-light ( an import model ) was a big deal, or even GB ice that used LCD, which was black-n-white instead of green, and produced red-colors on some sprites. Again usually we had the sunlight and was outside or whichever light source.

I never saw a need for any lighting add-ons. If you did, the add-on might just take the juice of your gamebody

Seriously future world, we have computers ( fully loaded boxes that runs Windows 10 ) that could fit into a body of a Gameboy, Just disassemble to make it fit, add a controller, a USB output for devices, and a slot for a Compact Flash and or SSD.

The creme-doller-creme would be an actual Gb <-> Gb connector input that would work with an emulator like a later No$GB can actually connect to a physical gameboy and play online.
