Any of you Apexers out there remember the combination of Up, Down, Left, and Right arrow buttons that gives you 30 lives to start Contra instead of 3? I can't seem to get it to work.

Thanks

Thanks a million Zenbooty! I'll bet it's been 10 years since you've used that code!

I used it on ESPN just the other day!

I finally beat the game, for my first time ever! Thanks again!

why am I thinking it was u u d d l r l r b a b a select start?

is that the 2 player code?

That might have been Contra 2 or some other game. Can't remember, but a 2nd combo using select sounds vaguely familiar.

they have a site listing all the other sites with the same "easter egg" ...

I think that code is tatooed on my brain.

attgig

for some reason i thought it was to ba's as well

but when you hit select, that changes it from 1p to 2p, so that is definitely a 2 player game you're starting there.

Start is 1p and select + start is 2p.

Haha i love contra... Great game. Man I wish i had an old nintendo to play with.

We always did 'b a b a select start' for two player and 'b a start' for one player

I know this is a couple of weeks old, but its also an easter egg for facebook. Just click in your "status" window first.

How about IDSPISPOPD ? Is that one still burned into anyone else's brain?

I knew about IDKFA but not that one.

other than the konami code, those codes are totally alien to me.

The two ID codes were for DOOM...... idkfa was god mode, and I think the other one mentioned was for noclip (walk through walls). I might have them reversed though.

Houdini

Heh...I'll have to check that out. You actually type it in using arrows and "b's and a's?"

I also remember the idspispopd. I think IDDQD did something as well. Which game was it that had a code with the word "avatar" in it? I don't remember.

The code is used on the palm pre now.

Jcranmer

Yep, although I can't get it to work tonight. I don't know if they removed it or I'm doing something wrong. You press Enter for Start.

Makes a lens flare effect when you click anywhere on the page.
