Now that Konami is effectively dead, what are some of your highlights?
As an old arcade gamer, for me, along with Capcom, Konami used to mean quality, if it was a Konami game, generally it was going to be pretty bloody good.
Some of my all time favourites:
Track and Field - yes there were peeps who used cigarette lighters to get fast button presses, but aficionados such a myself, developed an alternating two handed running finger movement to get the extreme speed required.
Badlands - surely a one button game cannot be fun? To this day, this is one of my all time favourites. I was one of 2 peeps who could beat this bad boy, in fact I could go though it twice on one credit. Boy it took time to remember the exact timing required, some of the scenes were incredibly difficult. One to get the crowds around you though!!
Yie Ar Kung Fu - before Street Fighter this was the fighting game - a fairly steep difficulty curve but a rewarding game when you get it right. Typically had me bashing the cabinet!!
TMNT - graphics were trash really for the time, but with 4 players, a whole lot of fun.
Arcade, console or PC - what are some of your great Konami games or memories?
