    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.

    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

      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.

    Despite being poor, I didn't grow up with any sort of plug n play or kids laptop games. But my dad did splurge on all the Zelda games, so that's what we always played. What a strange world y'all grew up in
