There is a company that makes just such devices for a hand held game --similar
to the Nitindo Gameboy except it comes with only one game, and is alot
cheaper. Anyway, the thing is a combo light and magnifier. It clips onto
their game. I picked one up at Toys R Us just to see how it would fit on
the Zoomer. It works OK -- if you consider it a prototype! With some extra
work by the manufactuer they could make a zoomer version.
I could did up more if anyone wants it -- but just go to Toys R Us or some
other toy store and do some research!
