Up Up Down Down Left Right Left Right B A B A Select Start

[Dam That SnarkEE Kid]

The Contra/Konami code. Also worked for Castlevania.

A genuine marker of my generation. A random, arbitrary, banal, mundane reference to the culture that produced me.

Others include: Pogs and Tamagotchi.

What a wonderful world I've lived in.

Anyone else got any?

Wasn't it "A B A B select start" ? We need confirmation on this!

What was the one for Bubble Bobble again?
For instant fast bubbles and speed when you put your quarters in the machine?

For GameBoy Contra it was "A B A B".

Err yeah I forgot to say I meant Gameboy Contra the whole time!

 

[SENSEi]

I'm pretty confident you got the code right except the select..

No Select..

Everything else is correct..

You hit select, start if its a 2 player game.

Just start if its a one player.

That was the second nintendo game I ever owned.

It was the best thing ever.

I was talking about this the other day. Out of the blue, a friend of mine just goes into the code for Contra.


vench &lt;----can't remember if it was 35 or unlimited men....

I don't know why but I always get the theme-song stuck in my head at work.

What was the contoller thingy for Street Fighter 2?

 

[Dam That SnarkEE Kid]

Thirty men to start off, and a cool weapon. The gun with the bubble-ball things flinging around it.

I think, anyway.

-Select: ALWAYS play with two players!-

 

[Eclectic]

No bubble weapon......

The code was just for 30 men.

If we're talking about Contra.

Contra II had the code for 10 men.....


Cheap ass Konami

Yey for Streetfighter II.

Anyone remember the TV show Judge Dread? You could get a gun and play along by shooting bad guys on the TV and if you get shot your gun would explode. Am I dreaming? Did anyone own this?

 

[matty]

Another one that just popped into my head is Crystar. I was probably the only kid in the world to have these action figures. I especially liked the neat prism crystals that came with them. I think they were good for magnifying ants in the hot sun. Kids can be cruel.

My Dear Ol'Corey,

I'm not odd -- I'm just eclectic in taste.

Also, I don't even remember posting this last night, that's the kicker!
