I remember Invade-A-Load on the Commodore 64 which allowed you to play a space invaders clone while the actually game was loading from the tape drive.

Actually Ridge Racer on the original PlayStation did similar but with Galaga and decidedly shorter load times!

Yup, Ridge Racer was the game that prompted Namco to file the patent: https://www.eff.org/deeplinks/2015/12/loading-screen-game-pa...

Sometimes I used to stop the tape just so I could play invade-a-load :)
