Oddly enough there was a Gameboy game in Japan with a sensor on the cart that required sunlight to play. The intent was to get kids to be outside more. Guess they didn't think about a standard desk lamp.

Standard desk lamps wouldn't work for Boktai, but a UV light always maxed out the meter. Kids are way less likely to have one of those lying around.

  What kind of UV lamp? Sounds like it could potentially be dangerous to cheat.

      Someone could buy a UV-B Lamp off ebay and do some serious damage.
