Try Konami Code in Facebook

I just learned about the Konami Code from my professor in Computer Science. I thought this code is worth sharing (although some of you already have knowledge about this). In case you're wondering what this is, it's but a cheat code. It does nothing essential but it may present something interesting or perform some tricks or tweaks.


Konami code sequence:

 Up, Up, Down, Down, Left, Right, Left, Right, B, A, ENTER (for Facebook)



This code, popularized by the Japanese, originally started from Nintendo's Gradius but was popularized under Contra, also from the same console. Because of the difficulty of its levels, most players relied on the Konami Code. Once all the keys have been pressed in order, players will be granted 90 additional lives. Contra became so popular that even this Konami code rose to popularity. Many games started adapting this code including Castlevania, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, and Dance Dance Revolution.

Believe it or not, this code was not only adapted in games. Today, websites like Facebook and Plurk have added a Konami Code integration. What happens when the Konami Code is applied? The effects vary. Some sites pop out some animations. Others may direct you to an underground link. The possibilities are limitless. It's for us to explore!
