ABSTRACT:
A game apparatus with fast-access keys that can help the player to gain instant access to selected games is provided. The provision of the fast-access keys allows more friendliness and popularity to the game apparatus. The game apparatus includes a storage unit containing a plurality of game programs; a triggering device associated with a number of fast-access keys; and a control device coupled between the triggering device and the storage unit. Each key and key combination of the fast-access keys on the triggering device corresponds to a certain one of the game programs stored in the storage unit. The pressing of each key and key combination can cause the generation of a corresponding trigger signal which is transferred to the control device. In response to the trigger signal, the control device generates and transfers a start signal to the storage unit so as to retrieve a corresponding game program from the storage unit. This allows the selected game program to be loaded into the main memory of the game apparatus and run instantly for the player to play with.
