Let's be honest, I had never heard the name of the guy but had used his invention soooo many times. And since the very beginning, as it so happens that the very first Game I ever played was Gradius, on NES. Kazuhisa Hashimoto was the "inventor'" of the famous Konami code and passed away on Feb. 25th and with him goes another page of gaming history... RIP

It is always weird to think that there was someone behind something like that. I mean obviously there has to be but you don't really think of it.

 

Hopefully, he got paid for his contribution. Unlike poor Robert C. Baker :( Dude, should have been richer than a motherfucker.

 

 

 

Well I guess he finally ran out of his 30 lives. RIP good sir.
