Did you know how the Konami Code exists? - Nyu - 06-30-2012 08:18 AM
Did you know that Kazuhisa Hashimoto, who helped create the home-port of Gradius, created the Konami code because he couldn't beat the home-port of Gradius. He created the code to give him the goods, but he forgot to remove it when they released the game.
