The Konami Code was created by Konami programmer Kazuhisa Hashimoto after failing to beat Gradius on the NES. He programmed a simple code into the game that gave him a full set of power-ups, which allowed him to play test the game to the end.

Konami formed Ultra Games in the US and and Palcom in Europe as a way of circumventing a Nintendo licensing policy which stipulated that each third-party could only release 5 titles per year for the NES. With an extra publishing arm, Konami was able to publish 10 titles per year.
Their hold on a trademark for "Ultra Games" would later prevent Nintendo from using the name "Ultra 64" for one of their consoles.

Several of Konami's arcade beat-em-ups had a recurring feature common among other arcade games where if you wait too long to proceed to the next screen, the game will punish you for idling. In most games, such as Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Turtles in Time, Sunset Riders, Wild West C.O.W.-Boys of Moo Mesa, and Mystic Warriors: Wrath of the Ninjas to name a few, the game will take away a life in one way or another for waiting too long. However, in some other games like The Simpsons Arcade Game and Asterix, the player will only take a select amount of damage for idling, and may not necessarily be enough to lose a life.
