  • In 2004, Jakks Pacific released what might be the best plug and play system. Based on the SpongeBob show, this 5-in-1 joystick released prior to the first movie, which for many reflects the series peak. There's no denying the heart and charm in these simple, enjoyable games.

    Man when I was a kid I literally played this thing till it broke. I remember I was able to clear SpongeBob's bubble pop, Patrick and the maze and the super chum bucket multiple times, but the other two mini games were just way too hard and tedious for me to finish. Super Chum Bucket was easily my favorite

I liked the Sandy one too but I couldn't get past that same part lol. Thanks for making this, I hadn't thought of this game in 20 years.

    The warrenty itself has some sense of humor. Someone definantly had fun making them.
    Also, with the Super Chum Bucket game.... What will Plankton achieve for squirrle-napping Sandy? Why the piss cake would Sandy know anything about Plankton wanting the Krabby Patty formula? Shouldn't Plankton kidnap Mr Krabs instead since he is a rival and former best friend to Plankton?? That would make more sense than "Well, I'll squirrle-nap Sandy Cheeks and bribe Spongebob into giving me the secret formula."
    Plankton isn't that smart, even his computer wife Karen knows that. Shocking that she didn't break up from that mental case, and no, Karen 2.0 technically doesn't count.

    Nice video, I've been curious about this one. A good cheap (in price) Pac-Man Plug & Play system is Pac-Man Connect & Play. It was released in 2012 I think and comes with 12 games. Most of them are ones that have been re-released many times, but it's one of the very few ways to play Pac-Man Plus. Outside of emulation, it's probably the cheapest way to play it too.

It’s funny cause the way I got this was I was out grocery shopping with my mom and she ran into one of her coworkers, and she had just bought it from toysrus. I think they were supposed to be for donation but she ended up giving it to us along with a spiderman one which was also awesome. Still have them laying around somewhere, probably don’t work anymore sadly. A few years later we got a Nick summer camp tv game which was pretty okay also. These were nice little games to mess around with as a kid in the 2000s
