The Konami Code Is 27 Years Old This Week

If I make it till 90 years old on my death bed I will still remember this code.

I haven't used cheat codes in quite a few years. Most games don't even offer them at all these days. Even so, I have known about this code for quite a while but just recently found out that it was originally started by Koonami while playing Abobo's Big Adventure.

Never heard of this code. I remember that part on Wreck-it-Ralph though, and I didn't know that was a real code he put into it.

Test this code with every game you play

I also seem to recall a Simpsons episode in which Homer recites the Konami code while giving thanks at the dinner table, but the episode number has escaped me.

Up, Down, Left, Right, A and Start is one of my favourite all time cheats! Sonic FTW! I also remember all the ones for Earthworm Jim on the Mega Drive ^_^

Ah yes, the Konami Code. One of the most memorable codes in all of video game history imo. May it FOREVER live on in all gamers hearts!

And they said cheaters never prosper!

Before the internet there was a meaning to cheat codes... We used to wait for magazines to come along or a friend to come up and tell us about their discovery.
Now we have this which kinda spoils much of the fun! http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Konami_code_games

Back during the French presidential elections of 2012, typing the code into the website for candidate François Hollande would bring up a Double Rainbow.
Now guess who's president now...?

It's funny you bring up the part about waiting for magazines to come along. I think back in the early days of NINTENDO POWER , the Konami Code was featured in at least 1 or 2 issues of the magazine. That imo is how much this code ruled so much.

Cheat codes were very popular back in the 8 and 16-Bit days. I usually tend to go to the store to buy a copy of the next issue of Tips and Tricks just to see if I could find the latest codes for many of my favorite games (most of them were Mortal Kombat games).

I love this code. Although, I never noticed that was the code King Candy put in. I facepalmed myself.

It was awesome for Contra, but the game that surprised me the most was Tengen Tetris. I remember my friend telling me to pause the game and enter it, and I thought she was kidding, so I did it as a joke, and I was shocked that it actually converted my piece into the I piece I needed to score a tetris.

I liked it in Drawn Together, when Toot uses it to control Xandir (himself partly based on Link).

A code I have never forgotten.

This code is as old as I am O.o

Crazy Dave in Popcap Games' Plants vs Zombies starts to tell you this code on the final level. The Konami code is a piece of video game history that I hope will never die. I doubt it will, given how prolific its references are in pop culture.

the only time I've ever used this was in AC3. Assassin Turkey!

I remember Star Wars and Street Fighter II: Turbo having a great codes too. In some cases entering the code was a skill in itself. I'm looking at you Super Star Wars..

And today the code would of been patched out of existence.

Never forgotten just like the BLOOD code for Mortal Kombat !

this and the code to get directly to Tyson on punchout are 2 codes I'll never forget

Ahhhhh......I remember this code as it could be used for several of Konami's older titles during the 80's. I used it for Contra as I STILL can't beat the game without it.

never will forget this code.. unlike my passwords just to log in to some of these sites....

and they say cheaters never win!! HA!

For any WebOS Smartphone, to enable developer mode for it you would go to the search bar or "Just Type" and type in upupdowndownleftrightleftrightbastart
