Here's a Youtube video where, about 5 minutes into the video, a kid is demonstrating the GameKey: Here's a thread, and photo of the GameKey, at the Atariage website: The GameKey-enabled model does save high scores. Two GameKeys were released for this model (my mistake.I thought there was just one): One with Dig Dug and New Rally-X and one with Pac-Man, Rally-X, and Bosconian. After Jakks Pacific introduced their proprietary GameKey expansion card concept, a revision of this model included a GameKey slot. Original release versions of this model do not save high scores, but more recent revisions have that ability. Pac-Man, Galaga, Mappy, Xevious, and Pole Position. ".This unit (Namco Plug n Play) contains Ms. On my model, this sticker is positioned just behind the joystick. The units, that have been re-released with these added capabilities, have a circular stick-on plastic label, with the words "GameKey Ready". Later ROM updates for Galaga fixed this bug, so the joystick is running the original ROMs.)Īpparently Jakks re-released certain Plug-n-Plays, adding the GameKey function as well as High-score saving cababilities. I don't think they would have programmed it to do that again. There's a bug in Galaga where you can make all the enemies stop firing at you, and I was able to make this joystick game do that. (And, for those that are interested, I've confirmed these are actually emulating the arcade game ROMs. Never actually played with this one though. Looks like this has 12 games in it, including most of the ones from the previous two joysticks. I think this is the black one that blanka is referring to: Looks like they've made some others over the years too, but those are the two I'm familiar with.

These don't have any kind of adapters to increase the games on them, it's just the 5 games they come with. Hmm, hadn't heard of 'GameKey' before, but these are the Jakks Pac-Man and Ms Pac-Man joysticks I'm familiar with: I would like to get the Gamekey for this system. Pacman Plug n Play (it actually has 5 games total). These Gamekeys would only work with the particular Plug n Play in which it was designed. These Gamekeys would plug in the Plug n Play and would load it with additional games.

Jakks released a series of Plug n Play's that would except Gamekeys.that were sold separately. (For others reading this thread, please correct me if I got any of this wrong.) I don't know what you were referring to when you asked the first question? ".Which one, the purple one, the blue one or the black one?." Which one, the purple one, the blue one or the black one? If you have one you'd like to ease send me a message.

I was lucky with mine since it seems it was barely used and it works flawlessly but the question I have is my game key only has Pac-man and Bosconian, no Rally-X. This model also allowed you to save hi-scores. One had Dig Dug, New Rally-X and the second had Pac-man, Rally-X and Bosconian. This one has the Game key slot and when I bought it a game key was still inside(I thought it was part of the device until I pulled it out lol).Īpparently they only made 2 game keys for this model.

Pac-man, Xevious, Mappy, Galaga, and pole-position Today I was doing some research on it and found I may have a rare variant. I didn't know anything about it but I had seen similar mini arcade games before. So I picked this up since I thought it would look cool on my game shelf.
