10 Cool Konami Code Easter Eggs [PICS]

Up, Up, Down, Down, Left, Right, Left, Right, B, A, Start. If you were a video gamer in the late ’80s, there’s a very good chance you’ll have pressed that combination of buttons more than a few times.

The code was a secret cheat that appeared in many of Konami’s early video games. Of all the goodies it could grant, it is most remembered for giving the player extra lives in Contra, a notoriously difficult NES game. Since then, the Konami code has been adopted outside the video game industry and there are a ton of websites that offer secret Konami code Easter eggs.

We’ve scoured the web for the best examples, from a huge swath of options. If you want to try them out yourself, just head over to the respective sites and hit that magical key combination (substituting Enter for the Start button on a game controller). In the meantime, if you like unicorns, rainbows and bacon, then click on through the gallery and feast your eyes.

The BBC’s Glow JavaScript resource site offers a particularly geeky Easter egg: A photo of K9, the little robo dog from British sci-fi series Doctor Who, and a promo link for the BBC’s Cult TV site.



2. Marvel

Entering the code on Marvel’s official site brings up this particularly sinister-looking squirrel sporting a Deadpool mask.



3. Scott Pilgrim – The App

Adding the Konami code to the site for the Scott Pilgrim iPhone app gets you an e-mail address that, if contacted, will tell you where you can find one of the various unlockables in the app. Fun and useful – we like!

Tweetshare’s Easter egg takes you directly to Sam Fisher’s (the protagonist from the video game Splinter Cell) profile page.

YourMapper’s secret trick is a good one and very much in keeping with the Konami theme. Typing the code gives you a map of all the levels from the Contra video game. It was the first major game in the U.S. market to use the Konami code.



6. Activate Media

Activate Media offers a great Easter egg: A YouTube clip of the “truffle shuffle” moment in the classic ’80s film The Goonies.



7. NetLog

The special code on NetLog gives you a green dragon eating the logo. Yum!

Delightfully random, FrankDeals will redirect you to a classic Sesame Street clip.

Staying with the retro theme, how’s about some free Pong courtesy of Dandelion & Burdoch?

Mmmmm, bacon. Yup, that’s it.

Cornify (“unicorns and rainbows on demand”) gets a special bonus status. The Konami code triggers a riot of rainbows and unicorns on its own site, but Cornify has also put together a cool piece of jQuery code that lets you do the same with your own site. Thanks guys!

    • 10 Cool Konami Code Easter Eggs [PICS]

    New Gmail Design Revealed in Leaked Screenshot

    A version of Gmail used by Google employees has been revealed in a screenshot included with a Chromium OS bug report, and the image reveals more than a half dozen changes to the Gmail most of us are using today. /> id="more-343700"> /> The blog Google Operating System posted the image yesterday, and we’ve also featured it below. Note that Google Operating System originally posted it as two images — the top bar that says “report issues” and so on was its own image, so we’re not sure how it’s really oriented in relation to the rest of the stuff you see.

    Also remember that this internal version of Gmail may differ from future public versions.

    Savvy Gmail users immediately picked apart the screenshot looking for new features and interesting changes. Most notably, Mail, Contacts and Tasks have all been featured in the top left as the three pillars of the user experience. Right below those, you can see that “Compose Mail” is now an actual button, not just a text link. That’s simply an aesthetic change, but it’s an interesting choice regardless.

    Following that theme, there are no longer text links to actions such as “Select All” or “Select None” — those appear to now exist under a textless drop-down box above the Inbox. Drop-down boxes are ubiquitous in general, actually. Note that the e-mail address at the top menu is accompanied by a drop-down box — could that be the Gmail account switcher that Google promised? We’ll all find eventually, I’m sure.

    Look in the chat window and you’ll see a new “Call Phone” button. That might be Google Voice integration. You’ll also see two little buttons in the top-right corner of the Google Talk window; one of those could be a rejiggered settings menu, but it’s hard to tell for sure.

    Do you see anything else interesting in this image? Let us know in the comments.
