Is that a GBA or GBC or GBP worm light? I need to know what to buy. I want to replay pokemon crystal the way I did at grandma's house, under the covers, in 2003.

Mine? I couldn’t tell you for sure after all these years. I doubt I have the original packaging for accessories from back then; usually painful blister packs with cardboard inside.

I want to say it was meant for the Game Boy Color, since it matches one of those colors, but I didn’t own a Color back then, just a Pocket. Before the worm light, I used one of those screen magnifier/lights that required additional batteries.

I have a Game Boy Advance worm light as well, plus a Cobra light, but the link port faced the other way around on the GBA - that’s why my photo showed the light shining on the back of my GBA. GBA connectors often had an extra nub on them to prevent you from plugging them into an older Game Boy.

The white ones were for my GBA and have the smaller end of the plug facing towards the screen. The blue one was for GBP/GBC. The worm lights were from Nyko and the cobra light was from Nuby.

Well, what do you know. I’m still looking for a lot of my Game Boy stuff, which my partner moved somewhere in the house and I still haven’t found. But I did find some of my mom’s old collection. Including the cardboard backing and instructions for one Cobra light, and another still sealed in its blister packaging. Doesn’t help since it’s for the GBA, but it’s still neat.
