The best video game company. They have made great games like suikoden and meta gear solid. They also made a really fun game in the early 1990's that is about Buster Bunny and his adventure to save his friends. The people at konami are very talented and can make any game good.

Game company that ignores their excellent Snatcher series in favor of the inferior MGS, primarily because it appeals more to idiot American fanboys who watch DBZ.
These fanboys, along with their faggy DDR playing counterparts, are now Konami's primary source of income.
The only really good series this company still has is Silent Hill.

In the 80s, Konami of America and Japan released many games for the Nintendo Entertainment System. Traditionally, programmers would program in hidden 'cheat codes' to help make gameplay easier, which aided especially during late testing periods before commercial launch.
Konami released many popular games on the NES during this era, such as Gradius, Life Force, and Contra. These titles, as well as many subsequent ones, used the same cheat code listed above. Because of it's reoccurence, it became known as 'The Konami Code', and knowing it by heart is one of the trademark signs of a true, old-school gamer.
A common alteration on this code is:
Up-Up-Down-Down-Left-Right-Left-Right, B, A, SELECT, Start.
Many people mentally add in a 'select' in there for one reason only--on the menu screen, pressing select changed the cursor to '2 players' instead of '1 player'. Contra was always more fun to play with a friend.

Up, Up, Down, Down, Left, Right, Left, Right, B, A, Start. A cheat code common to most classic Konami games, which gave the code its nickname. The code itself has become a symbol of old-school and/or arcade gaming. Punk group "The Ataris" named a song after the code on their album, "End Is Forever." Ironically, the Konami Code never made an appearance on an Atari console.
