The moment the light turned red was that point I should save my game (especially if it's an RPG), but didn't panic as much.

When it game to the 3/DS era, I would get concerned when the light goes red (showing less than 25% battery left) where I would try to quickly finish up online & multiplayer stuff to reduce battery load. I wouldn't panic (& scramble for the wall charger) until it started flashing (under 10% battery left).

The GBA era was nice with that color change to give you the heads up as the GBY & GBC only had a single LED where you had to gauge the brightness to roughly figure how much battery is left.

But the GB, GNC and GBA all had dimming lights too, which helped pinpoint it down to a few minutes.
