An interview took place in 2003 that featured two Konami programmers, both of which worked with the company during the NES days. Konami has grown a great deal since then, and the early days of game programming were much, much different.


- Early Nintendo games were programmed by 2 or 3 people
- The Konami code was created because the programmer who made it couldn't beat Gradius
- Konami employees were big fans of Zelda and Dragon Quest
- Goemon's Ebisumaru (Dr. Yang) is based on an actual Konami employee
