The patent was made in 1988. They had 3D in 1988? Isn't that when Mario 2 came out?

There is three two things that would make this explainable. One this guy loves money.... alot, or two he is doing this to become famous or three he is doing this for a ligit reason because he feels as he wants credit for the product

Nah, money talks bullsh*t walks

Yes, of course.

Anyone played Elite for the NES? It's public domain so...

And honestly, there have been 3D movies in the 80's, pixar made some. Althought they where quite short ones.

God dammit people, leave the video games alone! I'm just sick of it all. What are they gonna sue for next? "Infringement of patent for method of displaying pixels on monitor"?

They need to make me a judge, so I can throw these people out of court. Enough with the ridiculous lawsuits already. I'd like to be able to retire in a world where I can live without breaking patents for things that shouldn't be patentable.

That is complete and utter BULLSH*T. It's just like the GIF patent...someone is obviously very, very greedy or very, very broke (or maybe very, very both). What makes them think they can come forward 16 years later and expect companies to just fork over royalties for all their past works? This could force countless successful, respected companies into bankruptcy!

I think patents should be invalidated if the owner doesn't bother to step forward and enforce them within x number of years...maybe that would put an end to this innovation-stifling nonsense. I'm sick and tired of it.

How is this person or group or whatever (I couldn't get link to work) going to sell really big companies like Nintendo, Sony, and Microsoft? It is stupid to even try it, and to hope to make money for a graphic is like pattening a color.

I never heard of such a thing, that is the most ridiculous thing I've ever heard, surely someone must have gone mad or something.

Wasn't like this back then when I was growing up, heck, this world hasn't been the same since.

What in the world could be next?
