Game Genie Won Against Nintendo! Epic 90s Court Battle #retrogaming #nintendo #gaming #gamegenie

Brothers from Warwickshire have won more than two million pounds from the computer giant Nintendo in a legal battle in the United States.David and Richard Darling invented the Game Genie, which can make video games either easier or more difficult.Nintendo said the game breached its copyright, but lost the case.

For Richard Darling, this £70 ,000 sports car is just one of the spoils of victory.It was in these converted farm buildings in Warwickshire that he and his brother nurtured and then perfected their invention.It costs around £40, and it makes computer video games easier or harder.The giant Nintendo company, claiming breach of copyright, took action in America to stop it being sold, but they failed.

We have a lot of good creative people here developing good original products, games, and things like the game Genie.And for a company like Nintendo to think just because they're powerful and dominant in the marketplace that they can stifle that sort of thing is wrong, and I'm glad they didn't succeed.

Worldwide, sales of the Darling Brothers gadget have exceeded £65 million.Although some video buffs love it, as it can make games last longer, others don't think it's worth it.I like to play with what they've given you, and to feel that I've completed it the way they've packaged the game, you know?

I don't think they're worth it, because you're paying £40 for it, and it's just to cheat the game.I mean, you buy a game to play it, not to cheat it, just run through the baddies to the end.It's not worth it.
