Is that a modded screen? I don't remember my GBC having anywhere near that much backlight

It is :) did an amoled screen mod on it and swapped out the red led for an amber one

The original GBC didn't have anything of a backlight. Although the earlier Gameboy Light was the first Nintendo handheld to have a backlight, the feature wasn't standardized until the GBA SP.

The original SP had a front light. The second iteration was backlit though.
