Waited 12yrs to finally get me hands on a copy, doesn't feel good as original. Not helped by my GBA having a cr*p screen

I wanted this game so badly when it came out back in '93...... but when my Mum went to get me a copy while I was at school, they'd sold out........ it took until 12yrs later (2005) to finally successfully get a copy via Ebay.

By this time, the edges of the screen on my Gameboy classic were starting to give up the ghost.... so a couple years prior to that I also bought a 2nd hand GBA (original) off Ebay in the hope larger screen = easier to see.
Unfortunately it appears Nintendo couldn't be bothered to give that handheld console backlighting on the LCD display or contrast controls in order for it to be actually possible to see the screen without borrowing the floodlights from the local football stadium.

When you can actually see the screen, the game doesn't feel as great to play as the original version before it.
