No, but I think I gave my GBA a headache once. I must have been playing Pokemon (Red version!) for 6 hours straight, at least, and I heard this huge bang! Then my screen started to fade, so I saved it real quick and checked the batteries. One of them exploded! x_x

I only get a headache while playing the gba if i have been on it for more than 5 hours or if i haven't had enough sleep that day and I'm playing it, but usually no.

Yeah, whenever I used to play the GBA at night or whenever I was sleepy. I used to get some pretty bad headaches. I got a bit dizzy once. So I've stopped doing that now.

I'd probably get a headache playing on a normal GBA, since the screen is so small, but on VBA I never get a headache.

Yes the screen can turn out to be way to tiny to play on a road trip. Also if the music is on you are just begging for a migraine most of the time.

Yes, I've gotten headaches but not because of the game playing. I tend to get migraines a lot.

The only time i'ver ever gotten headaches while playing GBA was when I used to play at night. I used to buy those cheap little lights you could plug into it so you could see better and man that sucked. Sure you could play in the dark (which was always nice since I loved to stay up late playing games and having a light on totally gave me away), but it put a lot of strain on my eyes...which didn't help. Never got a headache in the day time travelling or otherwise though, so guess i'm lucky! 
Think I was mostly playing Zelda and Fire Emblem games (and of course pokemon) at night back when I had a GBA. Haha, good times. Thank goodness the DS screen has back lighting :x never had a headache since

Gah, stress headaches, you slayer of GBA-players.Never got too many, and they were never too severe. Always drank some tea whenever I got one, worked surprisingly well.

I don't think I recall ever getting a headache while playing a GBA game, whether it was the actual console or an emulator.
