Konami

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 error , mastermind of the metal-gear-solid series.
