Having minigames during loading or installation was actually patented by Namco for Ridge Racer, I believe. I'm not quite sure about the details since I seem to recall things like invade-a-load on my Commodore 64 at least a decade earlier, but there you go.

Expired in 2015 :)

When I was younger, it seemed so obvious to add a minigame to a long loading screen, I had assumed that there were technical reasons for not doing it.
