@Nintenjoe64 Agreed. It does seem like a strange patent to grant in the first place considering there was prior art in the 80s, albeit in a different format (I think the Namco patent specifically mentioned optical media) - still seems like a fine line to walk tough.
(on a side note, Invade-a-load was used on Mastertronic's cassette-based games in the UK, nothing to do with Namco)
