video game development
ever since the 8-bit era and many gaming
trends that we have witnessed throughout
the years can be traced back to this
prolific company welcome to
watchmojo.com and today we’ll be
counting down our picks for the top 10
Konami video games for this list we’re

only be published by Konami but also
developed either in-house or by a
subsidiary development team but enough
talk how about you number 10
Frogger we’re kicking things off with an
arcade classic a game that’s easy to
understand but difficult to master the
player must guide a frog through lanes
of fast moving cars and jump over debris
in a river in order to advance to the
next level
it might seem simple compared to other
entries on the list but at the time
Frogger was regarded as one of the best
and most innovative arcade games around
the game has been ported dozens of times
over but nothing sizes up to the
original it’s so iconic that it’s even
featured in its own episode of Seinfeld
number nine Pro Evolution Soccer series

winning 11 the Pro Evolution Soccer
series is one of the best-selling sports
franchises of all time

this by consistently putting out some of
the most playable fun and rewarding
football games on the market number 8 so
ye code n to the so echoed in series is

playable characters to find and recruit
Suikoden to is a real RPG gem
