Hahaha, yeah you're right, this sucked, but not worse then rawdogging an unlit lcd in on the go conditions. ColorLCD is a lot worse still without backlight. But not playing as alternative... phew... yeah..
I remember waiting for my parents to drive by street lights so could unpause and kind of make out the screen. Really I was just walking Link around the beaches of Koholint collecting rupees until I maxed out. Then I'd buy lots of bombs and stuff, use those, then repeat the process.
Sigh. Good times...
