ryan wrote
@Dam: fail



Sar wrote
Dam is correct...



m wrote
dam is wrong



mo wrote
yes, its select start, i thought it was the coolest shirt ever... its just fail



contra wrote
i just tried it. both of them worked. select just makes it two player



Liza Jane wrote
I can't believe it! My brother learned his left and right because of that code. His teacher thought he had some sort of disorder because he'd do the code in class before answering her!



Bo wrote
I thought the konami code was
up up down down left right left right a b start select? Dx



JP wrote
This code:
UP, UP, DOWN, DOWN, LEFT, RIGHT, LEFT, RIGHT, B, A, B, A [SELECT] START
gave the player(s) 30 lives

This code:
UP, UP, DOWN, DOWN, LEFT, RIGHT, LEFT, RIGHT, B, A [SELECT], START
Gave the player(s) 3 extra lives

Sheesh how can people not know this :P

Damo wrote
...Holy Crap...

Now i know why this was listed under Geek Tees, lol

Who gives really a damn?!



frank wrote
shes right both codes work but u use start select when its two players



Gabriel wrote
For a moment i though it was the sonic debug, silly me.



josh wrote
its called the "konami code". first used on the nes game gradius, and then many other games.
up,up,down,down,left,right,left,right,B,A,select,start.
thats funny, lol. how many of these shirts made?



Greg wrote
First thing i though of when i saw this shirt was the song from juno



damos dumb as shit wrote
Well, "Damo", considering as how this is a fucking gamer shirt, and we know what the actual cheat code is via memory, we'd want it to be accurate, you fucking poser ass piece of shit. If you don't like it, go wear your sisters clothes.



LiveSquid wrote
CONTRA!!!!



sarah wrote
@ damos: haha!



video game nerd wrote
It is actually the proper code, select is just for two players, it is actually a quite popular code on alot of other konami games, just wiki it



Son of a 80's wrote
Huh, I never knew you could use that for anything but contra. I loved that game.



brian wrote
be careful using the code if you are wearing the shirt... its upside down... please help



rodney wrote
LOL @ brian...



Vivien wrote
This code is also quoted in Moldy Peaches' "Anything but you" Gotta love this tune...and the shirt!



DarkHelmet wrote
Being probably the only person who actually has played this game when it came out.. the code on the shirt is correct.. the select just makes it two players



Hashukim wrote
Thi is also the code to restart S M B from where you last died
UUDDLRLRAB Select START
this shirt failed the geek test



Rachel E. wrote
Another way of making this shirt awesome is that that's how it's sung in the Moldy Peaches song "Anyone else but you"

"up up ,down down, left right ,left right b,a,start, just because we use cheats doesn't mean we're not smart..."



phatslo wrote
yo use this code in gradius 3 for the SNES. You gotta start the game and then pause it though, and Dam, you're gay.



Niflheim wrote
+1 @ Gabriel

The original Sonic code was up, down, left, right, A, Start.

I believe Sonic 2's was similar but it had another code too. Damn it's been awhile!

Either way, that code always reminds me of Sonic instead of the Konami games it is supposed to be for. =)

.:Jay:.



The Captain wrote
You can use this for contra aswell? This is the exact code for 30 lives in Lifeforce... =) Remember that code from 18 years ago! Man..... the nostalgia! Ahhh..... =)



Big T wrote
actually if you hit select start that's 2 player mode...



Gamer100% wrote
Wtf is up up down down left right left right b a start?
makes no sense
0/10 shirt



joem wrote
@Gamer100%: read the comments next time



Mojo wrote
Ok, you doubting douchebags, I just loaded up my NES emulator Nesticle and double checked it....the code is correct on the shirt for single player.



Jefferson Steelflex wrote
Let me clear everthing up. It's called the Contra code,(I know it was used for something else I think it was Quake) and it is
UP UP DOWN DOWN LEFT RIGHT LEFT RIGHT A B START
This code gave you 30 lives in the Konami game Contra. And yes if you also hit select and have 2 players they both get 30 lives.



Tubageneral wrote
Up, up, down, down,
left, right, left, right,
B, A, Start.

Just because we use cheats,
doesn't mean we're not smart.



The Two-Headed Fist wrote
It's also the 30 lives code for Life Force; however in Gradius 3, you must substitute the L & R BUTTONS for the normal left & right d-pad inputs; otherwise you explode instantly after unpausing the game. Also, instead of 30 lives you get fully upgraded with sheild and options, and I think it actually COSTS you a life to do this. But it's SO worth it on the Fire level!



Dex wrote
30 seconds on Wikipedia would have ended this:

That's the correct code from the original NES port of Gradius. The code itself is usable in many, many other games, often as a joke or a tribute to its fame.

Google: Konami code.



wow wrote
or maybe its just a shirt and no one else will get it so calm the fuck down



Mike wrote
It is the code for the game Mortal Combat. Lou Cang finishing move. Nintendo



Zak wrote
it is up up down down left left right B A start for contra but that it



apuskwikemart wrote
You can also use this code for Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles II The Arcade Game for the NES, another Konami game. It lets you choose what level to start out at, as well as how many continues. Man, I feel like I'm 8 again.



Jenn wrote
This also works on facebook. :P Just replace the Start with Enter. x] Just an interesting fact?



JapAtHeart wrote
I wonder what'll happen if I try and use that code on MGS4?



Jay wrote
It's actually called The Konami Code, as the first game it worked for was Gradius and it has worked in numerous other Konami games including Contra.



Ek wrote
Great Deftones track too... wish they had the a&b right though.



VD wrote
wearing it now. very good. size small is a real small.



SunShine wrote
ok so ALL YOU GUYS FAIL! this is actually a song quote from the moldy peaches it goes "up up down down B A START, just because we use heats doesn't mean we're not smart!" ...way to fail geeks...



BebeZed wrote
@SunShine: Where do you think the song got it from?? Hmmm?? If distinctly refers to cheats, and guess what? It's a cheat code... but you're apparently not bright enough to figure that one out. Epic intelligence fail.



Name wrote
Dude, look up the Konami code on google. It's B,A not A,B.



anchorman wrote
Wow things really got out of hand on this wall.

You guys should probably find a safe house for a while and Lie low.

Probably without video games though...



Name wrote
Jesus Christ, I thought Mike Patton was the worst musicial I ever heard until I listened to the Moldy Peaches song.



kenny g wrote
this doesnt work in real life though...pity



james wrote
it has ben used all ways on the snes it is up up down down left right left right lb rb start sellect



Sean wrote
I thought it was the code to spawn a health pack in Half-Life 2



@Sarah wrote
trust a girl to say something so insignificant. shouldn't you be ironing?



samuel dionne (samuel_dionne@hotmail.com) wrote
all dumb the cod is up,up,down,down left,right,left,right,b,a,b,a start



YOU ALL NEED TO GET LAID wrote
HOW ABOUT YOU ALL JUST GO OUTSIDE FOR ONCE?



Respect For Oldschool Gamers!. wrote
WOW!.. a lot of 360 console kids here, it's CONTRA CODE!.. and yes Konami use it on other games, but it got it's fame from CONTRA. (a video game reference to Commando and Rambo movies at the time)

Know your roots Goddammit!...and if you didn't play CONTRA for some reason back then, then you were the loser!.
