A SECRET code unlocks tonnes of hidden gems on websites across the internet.
The sequence of key presses was originally a cheat code for power-ups in the 1985 Nintendo Entertainment System arcade game Gradius.
It has since become a symbol in geek culture, and has been found as a way to access Easter eggs on pages ranging from Facebook to Vogue UK’s website.
The sequence – Up Up Down Down Left Right Left Right B A – is named the Konami Code and was created by games developer Kazuhisa Hashimoto.
Kazuhisa, who previously worked with Konami on several smash-hit games, including Gradius, sadly passed away aged 79 in February 2020.
What better way to pay tribute than to try out a few of the Konami Code Easter eggs in games and websites? For websites – or my blog 🙂 – go to the homepage and use your keyboard (arrow keys plus B and A followed by Enter) to access hidden content.
