Kazuhisa Hashimoto, the creator of the iconic Konami code, has died.
Hashimoto worked on several Konami classics such as Gradius, but his most memorable accomplishment was the creation of the key-press sequence used in Konami’s games and by others, for years to come.
The Konami code enables a variety of built in weapons, serving as a “god mode” enabler. The Konami code is as follows: Up, up, down, down, left, right, left, right, B, A, Start.
Naturally, someone has already registered the matching domain name, UpUpDownDownLeftRightLeftRightBAStart.com. Yes, it’s 37 characters long, and was registered in 2003.
If you ever forget what the Konami code is, just go there to find out. 😀
