I spent this entire video assuming that game keys never actually existed, and that Peter just 3d printed some cartridge looking things and cartridge receivers, glued them to plug and plays and created a elaborate backstory about them like he did with the Hello Kitty GameCube. Me and my friends owned a lot of these plug and plays and I swear I don't remember the gamekey branding or cartridge slots, so it sounded like the perfect prank, especially since nobody is going to dig their 20 year old plug and play out of storage to check. Only this morning did I look into it again and realize they actually existed. You gaslit me without even trying to, congrats Pater.

[@TheSkinGuy101]

Wow Patter really comin' back to his roots with his decapitated floating head in the beginning, just like Mario that one time! He made some YTPs of that critter! Now all we need to return is... Uhh. That weird box critter. Like... Shiver or something I dunno.

Peter, your videos help me a whole bunch. Today, we got a tornado warning in our area in light of the Hurricane nearby, and out of instinct, I put on this video to help calm my nerves until the storm died out, it calmed me down a whole lot and I want to thank you. Continue what you’re doing patter.

[@zebraloverbridget]

It is so absurd that the expansions were limited to the specific units and didn't work universally. Makes it clear that the OG units had some or most of the data for those extra games on them already. I would love to see someone pull the data and compile it to see for sure how much of the extra games were on the units already

[@lauv1150]

the expansions probably just reuse some audio and graphics from the main unit

[@fuseegelee]

Really if someone broke one open and took a look at its inner workings we could get some (very small) homebrew running on it! We might be able to make one that has enough storage that it works on all consoles, due to the audio and graphics being stored on the cartridge itself! Or I’m just going crazy.

[@JomasterTheSecond]

"Is this Simple Plan?" Actually yes; For everyone that doesn't know, they did the What's New Scooby Doo theme, this isn't a joke.

I had a plug and play with Pac Man, Xevious, Mappy, and I think Pole Position? It had a game key slot. I had two versions, one wired and one wireless. I'm not sure which one had the slot or which didn't, or if both had it.

[@Jordikry]

I unironically have been thinking about plug n play game keys for a while now, thanks for the video. Reminds me of my childhood.

This is the first time I've ever actually seen one of these game keys, these may as well not have existed when I was a child.

[@TheRealHedgehogSonic]

So I had a Game Key of my own for a Ms. PAC-MAN Plug n' Play that let you play Dig-Dug and I think Xevious. This was before I had discovered SEGA's lock on tech was a thing, so sticking code onto already tried and true packs of games within a controller was just mind blowing to me! So there's some lore for you, Patter.

Peenter was banished down there by Ray as punishment for trying to get him into "Profesional Testing school" against his will. The cat has assisted him in keeping the door closer, and Paltar has been locked in the basement since. Ray currently lives his greatest life as an [Average dog], going about Bingus activities without Pleater's supervision.

Game keys honestly seem like something I would've loved as a kid. Little cartridge to get more thing just hits. Me and my brother had a pretty strict no buying license games though, so the only plug and plays we had were a namco one, and one that was an n64 controller that was a famiclone that they sold at a random kiosk at the mall

[@ZeroWind2014]

Patter is almost getting 1mil. I hope cardboard silver will be proud

[@dessyboon6637]

I had several of these as a kid as one of my few escapes from the weird cult my dad was creating. I had the princess one, the nickelodeon one, a spongebob one (i don’t remember if they were the same or what, but i remember it was spongebob’s face and the joystick was his nose), and some other non game key plug n play games like an atari flashback and a spiderman one.

Completely random, but on-topic for this video: X-Men Mutant Reign is one of the rarest Plug it in and Play TV games, but it's also one of the better ones if you can find it.

[@GoodGirlPeruru]

I think the worst thing is that i get the vibe that the gamekey games are already on the console and thats why you can't interchange them despite the fact they genuinely look like the internal specs must be identical

It feels like the gamekey should have been universal, rather than being locked to specific consoles. It makes gift giving a whole lot more confusing. 'Sorry Grandma, I can't play with the Nick Key you gave me, because I have the Care Bear game stick.'
