Commodore International founder and Atari International's former CEO Jack Tramiel passed away on Sunday, at the age of 83. The computer legend and gaming pioneer was surrounded by his family members - his wife Helen, and three sons Gary, Sam, and Leonard - at the time of his passing.

Born in 1928 to a Jewish family in Poland, and sent to Auschwitz concentration camp with his family during World War II, Tramiel emigrated to the US in 1947. He joined the US Army in 1948, and later ran a typewriter repair business.

In an attempt aimed at promoting its Nintendo 3DS-specific new game in the much popular ‘Metal Gear Solid’ gaming franchise – the title is dubbed ‘Metal Gear Solid: Snake Eater 3D -, Konami has introduced a limited edition snakeskin-embossed 3DS.

According to the reports, the limited edition snakeskin 3DS will exclusively be available only through the ‘Konami Style’ e-shop in Japan; and for that, interested customers need to register themselves for the limited edition of the console before February 3.
