Additional information:
The technical name for Gamebit security screwdrivers is line head, this type of Japanese screw became synonymous with gaming, hence the nickname Gamebit was born to describe this type of security fastener screw which was commonly used by in older games consoles.
These are sometimes called as reverse torx / hexalobe, they are similar in style with the primary difference being that torx drivers are male whereas game bit drivers are female, hence the reverse of torx.
They fall under the broader banner of tamper resistant screws or security screws and were used to deter people from opening devices for various reasons, such as to stop you from repairing the device yourself, or to protect the technology inside and try to prevent piracy.
The sizing commonly associated with gamebit, 3.8mm and 4.5mm are technically wrong but widely associated and accepted to describe size of tool required to remove the security screws from retro devices, the correct sizes are actually 3.6mm and 4.6mm from a technical specification standpoint.
One of the most popular uses of these tools is to access and replace CR2016, CR2025 and CR2032 coin batteries in old game cartridges.
