Konami Code: Difference between revisions

{{Useful Notes}}

[[File:Konami-code.jpg|link=Konami|frame|Always respect the Code.]]

 

The weird thing was that for such a universally well-known code, it's hardly been seen at all since the NES, and most of the time it just gives the player a little easter egg or even does something ''harmful''. And of course, it won't work on any game that doesn't use a standard controller (which rules out everything under the ''Bemani'' label) or a console that doesn't have an A or B button (like, oh, everything Sony has released ever).

 

{{examples}}

== Konami ==

* ''[[Full Frontal Nerdity]]'' [http://ffn.nodwick.com/?p=538 here] has a ''Star Trek'' version.

* ''[[Sandra and Woo]]'' [http://www.sandraandwoo.com/2020/10/20/1219-cheater/ here], under "…The raccoon was a BIG FAT STINKY CHEATER!!!!".

 

=== [[Web Original]] ===

* When one of the hosts said the code out loud on Escapist News Network the watermark suddenly changed color.

* On Gene's Journal, a special interview between Gene Roddenberry and Bill Shatner is unlocked with the code through [https://web.archive.org/web/20100410160221/http://www.genesjournalcomic.com/2009/10/27/unlock-the-gene-roddenberry-bill-shanter-interview/ this news post]. (This obviously used "Enter" rather than "Start.")

* Using the Konami Code at the [http://www.newsweek.com Newsweek] site (use the Enter key for Start) used to yield reports of zombie apocalypse.

* Used in, oddly enough, the official wiki of ''[[Team Fortress 2]]'' (ENTER substitutes for START.)
