Buying advice

When buying a Game Boy Advance, consider whether you prefer a backlit screen (AGS-101 or modded units) or are okay with frontlight or no light. Original GBAs are cheaper but need external light. The Game Boy Micro is ultra-portable but only plays GBA games. Special editions are pricier but hold value. Check for condition, screen quality, and battery life.
