Konami Code

Anyone remember The Konami Code?

It was a cheat in most 8 bit Konami games (I think Contra started it). You pressed "up, up, down, down, left, right, left, right, B, A, start" and you got 30 lives (in Contra) or whatever.

Coolest thing is, these days some web devs have included the code hidden in to their pages, and using it will trigger an easter egg of some sort.

To use, go to any page you like, and try your luck. You just have to press "enter" instead of "start", and you're done...

I'll give you a few pointers - try it on gamespot.com, it'll take you to the contra cheats page (clever!), and try it on facebook (won't tell you what happens there).

So, go ahead and try it anywhere you like, you never know what'll happen!

Tron: I didn't want to link to the site cos it takes away from the excitement of hunting around yourself... it's like a cheat for a cheat :D

Anmar: As I was blogging this entry, I was thinking you'd probably be the only person to get it. Have some more (real) cake ;)

It's those stupid GeoIP systems. They think my IP is in Mesa as opposed to Phoenix.

Now, did you try the Konami code on baby Adam? Maybe that'll change his mind.

Will tap the konami code on Kelly's tummy today to see if anything happens.

Incidentally, he likes Arkanoid because every time I play it he moves about lots!
