The Konami Code (Up-Up-Down-Down-Left-Right-Left-Right B, A, Start) was invented in 1986 by Kazuhisa Hashimoto to help during the development of the NES port of Gradius. Since its creation, the code has appeared in many other games (Konami and non-Konami).
The code also unlocks Easter Eggs on a number of websites. ‘Which ones?’ you ask: well, just enter the code on the ‘Konami Code Sites‘ page and all will be revealed.
The list is a little hit and miss, we did not find Easter Eggs on all sites – but that just made it extra exciting when the code did work!
