The well-loved and possibly most-remembered “secret” code of all time, the Konami code, is waning in significance. Unless you’re a frequent Gradius and Contra player (though I can’t be the only one), you probably find few occasions on which to use it. Fortunately, there are a few games, and by games I mean websites, out right now which will take the code. Unfortunately, it no longer makes ESPN pony time.
All you have to do is go here… and enter the code.
Via Metafilter, where I also found this amazing illustration of the code, Da Vinci style.
I don’t get it, is something supposed to happen on those sites when u enter the key combination?! None of the ones I tried did anything … what am I missing?
It worked perfectly for me and it’s awesome !
Dude, go on Google Reader and try it – FUCKING WIN.
Ok, cool. Now how do I turn it off?
To remove : Ctrl + F5
do you know how do you remove it on a Mac?
Ummm! You have unleashed the power of the Konami Code. I don’t use a Mac but try refreshing the page to remove the flare and then cmd+fn+F5 turns off VoiceOver. If that doesn’t work try entering the code again.
We have just installed a new website that supports Konami Code… Try at http://www.intergraphicdesigns.com... We are happy to announce that we did a PacMan version to honor the arcade games… Enjoy it…
