good old blood code for the Genesis Mortal Kombat.
one of the few codes I remember.

24 here :)

Holding L1+R2 then U, Triangle, D, Cross, L, Square, R, Circle, Release, then press L1, R1, L2, R2. This enables the code.

By pressing L2+R2, L2+R2 at anytime it will open the programmers debug menu ingame which allow items, health, skipping levels, placing enemies, setting patrol patterns, even place a charactor that you can assign the 2 player controller to for a co op game. Theres lots you can do here.

I remember at the start of Street fighter during the Capcom logo you put this code in to get turbo I think or different color costumes.

"If you're a gamer and haven't heard of this famous button sequence, you likely fall into one of two categories: one, you've got a problem with lying, or two, you've got some sort of amnesia going on…"

Or option 3, you're a casual gaming douchebag.

*turns on SNES*

*hits reset*

*inputs Up, Down, Left, Right, Y, B*

IDKFA! - for the doom fans... i think the weapon code was idqqd or something close... tried both codes in Heretic... God mode code killed you instantly and the all weapon code stripped you of your ammo

im only 19 but even i remember that :-). My favourite retro games have to be out of metal gear 2: Solid Snake, or any of Megadrive sonic games.

Im actually quite impressed with this article, first one in a long time where people on here get together, have a laugh and chat about their hobbies. No sales analyst bull (everyone on here seems to turn into one have u noticed), insults from people who would probably not even dare to look at you in real life and absolutely no ''fanboyism'' (sorry i didnt mean to blaspheme).

Anywho yeah loving thinkin back to the golden years (nes-ps1(n64) days).

laters x

It seems like I'm the old git so far LOL!

Been in advertising for a while now (including in game ads)...fyi the median gaming age in the U.S. is 32 so don't feel bad. 24 here

still engraved on my brain is l,r,l,r,l,l,r,r, a....

or.... down, r, up, l, y, b, x, a,

how about..... up, down, left, right, a-Start

Answers below please...

OMG, lol....I remember this like it was yesterday. I got so good at contra that I didn't need it anymore, I could go through the entire game without dying one time. Although not a sequence, does anyone remember JUSTIN BAILEY for Metroid?...People just couldn't believe Samus was a female....lol

If you're a gamer and haven't heard of this famous button sequence, you likely fall into one of two categories: one, you've got a problem with lying, or two, you've got some sort of amnesia going on… and you might want to get that checked out. Or maybe I JUST DONT CARE.

i remember seeing my brother use that code when i was little to for metroid on the NES to have pretty much all the guns and powerups, and with samus in a bikini

[edit] aww dammit knightoftears beat me to it :(

wish konami make new contra for ps3 look like call of duty graphic wise that would be sweet

...it's U,U,D,D,L,R,L,R,(B),(A),(START ).

if you don't push start, that code won't work.

Try B A B A up down B A left right B A start for level select and 10 lives in Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles 2 for NES.

Ikari Warriors on NES. The never-ending game.

What ever happened to codes in games? almost every game used to have them

Up, Down, Left, Right, Right, Left, Down, Up...

God mode on Twisted Metal 2...

I'll never forget it.

and must say I admire the rememberance we all share up in here of our old games.

But I must say there are 2 ways of cheating in games I know I will never forget...

Game Genie and Game Shark

i'm 26 and i think i only ever used this code like twice maybe, when i was pretty young. but i still remember it vividly, imputting it and being like "yay!". lol.

TIMBO F5.

at least one article not fanboy war related. refreshing and something i have missed for a while.

contra was awesome played it a lot but never really finished it all.
and didnt know any cheats so yea i im a gamer for like 8-9 years but never heard if this code.

shame on me :)

oh yea i remember vice city cheats thought r1 r2 l1 r2 left down right up left down (last one can be down right or up depends one what package you want :P)

Just call me Dad! - cant remember that particular code but do remember having to input 8 digit/letter codes as a level select for Spectrum games along time ago.....

*Shuffles off to find his slippers and cup of tea*

29 next month. in the u.s we have the "dtv switch"- thats the day i turn another yr older :( and i only used this code in contra.

Out of all the peeps here talking about this code I guess no one remembers how to get 30 lives for you and the 2nd player in Contra. Since we r getting so old. ( Points at self ----->)

I believe its - up up down down left right left right B A select start.

I could be wrong its been so long since i played that great game. I wish my NES still worked lol

wasn't there a cheat menu for MK3 with that sequence?

Argh, the code!

i will never forget the sequence for Jax (Mortal Kombat) to uppercut an enemy and send them to a spikey grave... Back, Dwn, Frwd, High Punch... Ahh, good times.

my very first console was the sega genesis but i started gaming since mario bros/duck hunt whenever i went to my cousins house. virgin mega store should be ashamed of themselves. they're selling a belt with the wrong code!

i would enter the code and still try to go through out the whole game without dying....
