Konami AKA Konami Holdings Corporation [related: Capcom]
Japanese tech conglomerate established on March 21, 1950 as Tokyo Products. Konami, along with Capcom and others, was central to the emergent hyper-structural portal functionality (
EHSPF
) of oft Alien-oriented 8-bit
interfaces for the Nintendo Entertainment
System (NES). Base structure includes the titles
Lifeforce, Esper's Dream,
Top Gun,
Metal Gear Solid,
Contra, Quarth, Aliens
(Arcade only), and, to a certain extent,
Castlevania
and
Trojan
. En masse this subset of games was thought to function as a
virtual portal between realities (VPD), with the
game's creators shielded behind a translucent yet impenetrable veil, perhaps
made of mirrored glass somehow presenting itself as continually cascading
liquid metal (re:
Terminator 2: Judgement Day
starring
Arnold Schwarzenegger). Through
the 90's and into the 00's, Konami came to be defined by the exploits of
Hideo Kojima, mastermind of the
Metal Gear Solid
series.
