1. Excerpt from the linked article: You know when devices are sleeping and you want to resume there's a confirmation screen in a lot of games? “Are you sure you want to resume?” And then you tap yes or no. Nintendo has a patent on that, and this game uses it. And then Nintendo said, you know, look, you're using our patent and you cannot do that. You're not paying us any licensing fees. And they had five other ones, including one for isometric, pseudo, 3D games, when the character is hidden behind the tree, the game forms a shadow, so you have a kind of sense for where the character is, even though you don't see the character clearly. Nintendo has a patent on that, and this game uses that technology. And Nintendo said, look, you cannot do this. And this goes on with four other patents, right?

1. This is a pixelated image of a car driving at night with the limitations of the EGA palette. The image is from the inside of the car, looking out the windshield. The steering wheel is visible in the foreground along with the dashboard, which shows a speedometer, a fuel gauge, and a digital clock reading 88:88. The road is dark, with a white line in the center. There are a few streetlights on the side of the road, and a sign indicating a sharp curve ahead. The sky is dark with a faint blue glow, suggesting that it is nighttime. (Description was AI generated)
