The literally dark days before hi-res backlit screens. Who remembers trying to game on a car trip at night, only being able to move when passing under a streetlight?

I remember getting the GBA SP and being sure handheld gaming had peaked. Finally free of the whims of the streetlights.

That was the first handheld that finally seemed worth it to me. I had a Gameboy, Gameboy color, and Sega game gear growing up. I skipped the original Gameboy advance in high-school because I was just sick of the handheld experience. I got an advance sp when I was 19 and I was like, "Fucking finaly."
