Dang, can you imagine what is must be like to see a popular and highly rated Netflix show based on a game you made over 20 years ago and caused your demotion and eventual resignation from Konami? It reminds me of certain films, such as Labyrinth, Office Space, or Rocky Horror. All were commercial flops when they were first released, but now they are "cult classics" that are appreciated far more now than when they were first released. It also makes me wonder how differently the series would have evolved if the NES games sold more copies and the original creators stayed onboard for the 16-bit era.
