What happened to the Bonus Key? The game show, a friendship & a missing Game Boy

20 years ago, two 12 year old friends appeared on Australia's most popular children's TV game show, A*Mazing.
But it wasn't all cordial and fairy bread.
One disagreement that day, still remains a thorn in their friendship.
Jamie claims the boys were robbed out of a Nintendo Game Boy because of a sneaky trick by the program's producers.
While Luke says that never happened - and the fault lies with Jamie himself.
This is the story of two friends, a game boy and one dispute that two decades on, is yet to be settled.

I can imagine making it onto the show, winning against the other team, going through the maze and in the end NOT getting a GameBoy...putting on a brave face, and then absolutely bawling your eyes out when you get home!

You know what's worse? I was MEANT to be on the show for my school, then I got replaced the day before by another kid. That other kid absolutely screwed up every possible answer, task and challenge. I'm STILL angry today.

[@Yobbie72]

@@MisterBung that's really horrible! Why do you think they did that?

[@mitchellbarnard4285]

Unbelievable.

[@mitchellbarnard4285]

Jeaes you and Luke were are long time close mates.

#sympathygameboy Actually, me and my brother DID make our own maze and cut out letters from cardboard. Then we turned on the SNES for the computer challenges.

AMAZING !!

[@icisic2000]

i dont know who to believe the thing is it u r both letting this get in the way of your friendship something so small u are both adults now and if u want your friendship to survive u will get through this and sweep it under the rug

[@newowned]

why would producers, who work in millions of dollars daily, care about a kid getting a $150 gameboy which was already donated by a sponsor?

[@lukesmith9022]

What a great question @newowned! It shows that this conspiracy may run a lot deeper than anyone is aware of!

[@kineticdeath]

if this is legit it seems that there isnt much of a friendship to be honest, both of them seem pretty certain that the other holds them in a bad light, which certainly cannot prosper especially after decades. Theyre not friends they just know each other. Probably dont even live in the same town/state anymore

[@newowned]

OK

[@sierrajaneDJ]

Sorry but I agree with Luke - he doesn't remember a second take, I don't think there was a second take. I will buy you both a gameboy to make up for it haha! Don't lose a friendship over something like this!

[@lukewilliams1925]

This still causes arguments until this day. But me and Jamie love each other haha

[@tens8547]

I made it on to this show back in primary school (greenwood vs falcon) so much fun! Super bummed out not getting a gameboy but i DID get a walkman and sea monkeys 🙊😂 #winning! Lol

[@newowned]

[@PaulRizzo]
