Contra has change the whole pop culture of gaming. The story of the cheat code goes that Hashimoto, who had to port the arcade title to the NES, added it so that he could properly playtest the notoriously difficult game. However, he forgot to remove the code, and it made its way into the final game that shipped to consumers.

But it’s thanks to Contra so many people in North America have fond memories of the cheat. By entering the Konami Code, you got 30 lives, which made the tough-as-nails title manageable. Since then, it’s made its way into countless other games and, more broadly, into popular culture.

So let’s take a moment of silence for this great creator that has bless us with good moments.
