   blankslatejoe: I think it's interesting that kids started to memorize the code when Contra came out although Gradius used the code first. I guess kids prefer gunning down humans over blowing up spaceships.

   yeah..it started with gradius. I never liked gradius much though...I prefered to fight at my own pace. There's a wiki devoted to the code: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Konami_Code It's really a bit of modern culture now.. I mean.. I didnt even have an NES and I knew it. I think there's a band called the 'Konami Code' also.…

   I could only get the code right by the time Contra came out, call Gradius a primer.

   I always called it the "Konami code" when I was a kid because it was in a number of their titles.

   This has been up awhile, so hopefully anyone who's gonna check the quiz has and I'm not spoiling nothing. Shotgun - it's from contra. Just about every kid in the US had the contra/konami/30lives code memorized when that game came out.
