The Konami Code (Japanese: コナミコマンド, Konami Komando, “Konami command”), also commonly referred to as the Contra Code and sometimes the 30 Lives code, is a cheat code that appears in many Konami video games,[1] as well as some non-Konami games.[2] In the original code, the player has to press the following sequence of buttons on the game controller to enable a cheat or other effects:
Buttons of the code; in order, up, up, down, down, left, right, left, right, B, A, plus

↑↑↓↓←→←→BA ; sometimes Start and/or Select is added to the sequence (usually to start single player or two player modes
This is proof that before the internet information was much more valueable and thus important to be remembered.
Now when i look something up i forget what i looked up the moment i look away from my phone.
I thought it was “select start”?
“Select”, “Start” for two player….
Give them 30 lives and let them through. I will handle them myself
I loved Contra
Life force it worked for too I think
Amazing! I still remember this after +30 years I guess….lol

Ahh the old classic ‘Konami code’! People who grew up in the 80 knew this little trick.
It’s wrong you need to hit select start at the end, just saying
Or for those of the Sega persuasion… up, down, left, right, A and Start together
I loved it for Contra!
Does anyone remember what code this is. A B A C A B B
Mash the pad for a real life! 😁
A,B,A,C,A,B,B is the one still drilled into my head!!🙌🏻
From my memory it’s missing the Select Button.
“The Konami Code” only the most wise can understand this sacred revelation…
I remember Down Up Left Left A Right Down.

This code was for 30 lives instead of 3 in Contra 😆except it was select then start.
I still remember the 30 lives in contra code, it’s funny how we learned secrets before the internet.
I remembered this code better than I remembered my home phone number.
B,B,D,LP – Reptile wins
Worked for Life Force too!
I distinctly remember that the start was pressed twice. Everything else is accurate.
I’m pretty sure there was another B A at the end of this for the Konami code
Free men…sure is a great code
Wasn’t there a select before the start 🤔 as far as I remember? I’m 45 that’s the Namco code
It also worked for Super C if memory serves.
Apparently you didn’t have any friends. If you did you would have hit select before start…
They missed the ‘select’ button though!
I thought you had to hit select before start for the code to work…
I remember this from Wreck it Ralph
I remember it ending with: select, start. But I’m subject to correction

I learned this on the flash game Achievement Unlocked (or something by the same author) on Armor Games!
I barely remember playing duck hunt but I played nes from 8 till 64 came put
I will remember that dumb code till the day I die at this point. I can’t even remember what it’s for

Or… Im just getting old 😶
ABBAD ABBADUU who remember that? 😉
This code also works on a Google smart speaker.
I think it is missing ‘select’
