It made me truly realize how powerful the GBA was, and how beautiful the games could be. Back in the day we played the hell out of them because we didn't have anything better, but the original screens were truly awful even for their era.

I was an original GBA owner and yeah, shipping such a muddy, non-backlit screen was a baffling decision.
