It is an interesting approach to loading screens, and personally I would have expected way more games to use such a feature. Not AAAs, of course, but indie games.

I clearly recalled having read the news about the patent of this having expired a while ago, and from a quick search, a while ago, has been 8 years ago https://www.eff.org/deeplinks/2015/12/loading-screen-game-pa...

I remember playing Galaga while Tekken loaded on the PS1.

Willy Beamish for the Sega CD had something similar, too. It was a godsend because that game's scenes took forever to load...I've only been able to revisit it thanks to flash carts that mostly eliminate the loading speed.
