Google Patents - searchable patent system http://www.google.com/patents Pretty cool stuff on there: http://www.google.com/patents?vid=USPATD383801&id=4RYoAAAAEBAJ&pg=PP2&dq=%22sega+enterprises+LTD%22#PPP1,M1 http://www.google.com/patents?vid=USPAT5923317&id=vdUWAAAAEBAJ&printsec=abstract&zoom=4&dq=%22sega+enterprises+LTD%22#PPA2-IA1,M1 http://www.google.com/patents?vid=USPAT1851188&id=pqFWAAAAEBAJ&dq=chicken+glasses http://www.google.com/patents?vid=USPAT5986991&id=cPgXAAAAEBAJ&printsec=abstract&zoom=4&dq=%22sega+enterprises+LTD%22#PRA1-PA14,M1 That one is really strange, it looks like it has the basic design of the Model 2 Sega CD down pretty well with a lot of other things thrown in.
Damn, I didn't know SEGA patented THAT much stupid crap. Check out this one from Nintendo, http://www.google.com/patents?vid=U...rintsec=abstract&zoom=4&dq="Nintendo"#PPP1,M1 It's a 62 pin (iirc) to 70 pin converter.
I should still have a controller just like that for the pc a Rage 3d i think it was called may have got thrown out though i didn't think much of its shape and it never fitted in my hand comfrtably
Look at this one, pretty funky handheld: http://www.google.com/patents?vid=USPATD347246&id=wWonAAAAEBAJ&printsec=abstract&zoom=4 Early motion "tilt" controller from 1990: http://www.google.com/patents?vid=USPAT5059958&id=CWcbAAAAEBAJ&printsec=abstract&zoom=4#PPP1,M1 Wierd game system cart thingy: http://www.google.com/patents?vid=USPAT4516777&id=0Xs7AAAAEBAJ&printsec=abstract&zoom=4#PPA4-IA1,M1 Old Handheld that looks like a napkin dispenser: http://www.google.com/patents?vid=USPATD331079&id=umwpAAAAEBAJ&printsec=abstract&zoom=4 Look at this Monstorsity from 1994: http://www.google.com/patents?vid=USPAT5324036&id=_MAeAAAAEBAJ&printsec=abstract&zoom=4&dq=video+game+console#PPA2-IA1,M1 Possible unreleased SNK home console? http://www.google.com/patents?vid=USPAT5114157&id=iKkfAAAAEBAJ&printsec=abstract&zoom=4#PPP1,M1 Man, I could do this all day.
That looks like a Vectrex to me. Matter of fact, I'm almost sure that's what it is. It's from the right time period, right controllers, same funky built-in screen and everything.

Can anybody explain this google patent thing to me? I type in a word to search, and I get a list of results. Then when I click on the result, it is nothing that is listed in the initial description. What am I doing wrong? Seems like an awesome service, but I can't find s**t.
