I have one of those, can't play for more than 30 mins without getting massive handcramps. I'd love a lit OG GBA, I still play mine the most.
What he said. While I could play for a long stretch on a game that barely/lightly uses the L/R buttons, if it's a game that usually uses them as a primary function like your F-Zero racers (or other racers), first person shooters, and some other titles the tendons for the pointer fingers on the back of my hand hurt like hell after not much time and switching to another only adds to the misery.
That's the ONLY reason I took a 101 screen I had and chop shopped it into my white GBA and I haven't had a problem since playing stuff. The best solution would have been a wider body like the DS had not a little cube only good for kid hands.
RETRO that GBC is a beauty. Makes me wish I had $35 right now in paypal but I have like half that if that much in there now.
