That's not the Konami code. The Konami code is Up Up Down Down Left Right Left Right.

Relax child; it is short hand, at least for my generation ('78), for the up up sequence and variations that was first made popular by Konami in the 80s.

It is like calling all cracker and cream cookies "Oreos", or all tissues "Kleenex".

No there is only one Konami code. All codes are not the same.

Maybe not for you and your clan, but through my childhood and early gaming journalism days from late 90s- early 00s, Konami code, (which started with the pattern up up, down down - and lead to old school gamer debates on dial up bbs', usenet forums and on IRC), it was universally used for anything that started with that specific sequence.

So again, I stand by my OP, and no anonymous forum poster will convince my 44 soon to be 45 year old ass otherwise.

Ignoring your atrocious attitude and trying to belittle everyone, you're completely wrong. It's always been 'left right left right' with the only changes being the addition start/select sometimes. The weird way you're trying to defend yourself instead of just saying you misremembered is super odd.

I'm also old (born in '86), and it was left right left right in all of the Contra games. That code is tattooed on my brain.

You can take a picture, hang it up, I don't give a funk. I said what I said and no anonymous talking cowardly heads are going to make me change what I've experienced for 40+ years traveling across the world covering gaming and entertainment.

Are most people on steam forums, illiterate or have reading comprehension issues?

It is and has been SHORT HAND for the up up down down sequence made popular first by Konami. Like Kleenex and Oreos, where a brand has come to define the class or type of item, that up up down down sequence (including variants of the Konami code) has always been referred to as "Konami codes" by a great many people that learned about it long before broadband in the dial up and arcade eras.

Period. Even the WIKIPEDIA entry for it acknowledges the VARIANTS of the UP UP, DOWN DOWN sequence. And yes, there were variants outside of the Contra code like the one used in Gradius.

Thank you for attending my TedTalk, I am here all week.

The only one "mad" is OP. They're replies are attacking everyone because they can't admit a mistake. Calling everyone 'younger' than him in one way or another to belittle, "cowards", "illiterate" etc.

There is ONE Konami code. Any other code is NOT called the same and just some "cheat code" of one sort or another.

Konami code refers to the one and only "Up Up Down Down Left Right Left Right Enter/Confirm/Start"

OR:

Up Up Down Down Left Right Left Right B A (Start)


edit: differences are due different controllers and start menus acting slightyl different on input.
