Gaming Patents. The "Golden Age."

[tcv]

Caught this today. It's a bunch of patent drawings related to classic gaming like the Atari 2600 console and joystick, some arcade cabinets, etc.

Here you go. (http://technologizer.com/2008/12/29/patentmania-the-golden-age-of-electronic-games/)

Just as an FYI:

1. I didn't look at this critically. I don't know what it's missing.
2. It is more than likely to not include something.
3. Of the things it didn't include, you're likely to be offended by the omission.
4. This omission may or may not be personal. I didn't create the feature, so I don't know.

I found the "iFake" section to be worth while. Check it out in the right hand column. I have always wondered what some of those iPod wanna b's looked like, but never was suckered in to buying one.

Just as a general view of what ideas there were and how things evolved, I liked looking at the various concepts.

Thanks for the find!

I enjoyed that one too. Fake products make me laugh.
