The Konami Code Conspiracy

[scarbunny]

What was the last game that used the Konami Code?

Neo Contra for the PS2 I believe.

Actually, they were in Metal Gear Solid 3 after that (It allowed you to exit to the main menu to avoid game overs, mess with the credits, and show The Ends location. I was just wondering if there was anything since then. It wasn't in MGS4 (which makes me a sad panda), nor Rock Revolution (I was hoping it was a "Make gameplay better" code because I think its setlist is better than its competitors).

Edit: Apparently, the last game Konami made that uses the Konami Code is Silent Hill: Homecoming. Entering it unlocks "Young Alex" (WTF?).

Also used in Eat Lead: The Return of Matt Hazard to unlock the "Maximum Hazard" difficulty, I think that is the most recent.

Thats not a Konami game.

No but it does use the "Konami Code"

Seen as you didnt specify it had to be a Konami game, you just asked "What was the last game that used the Konami Code?"

I just found out about the facebook one a couple of days ago myself, made me chuckle. Also is it wrong that the first thing I did when reading that article was to try the code on the escapist?

The code came from Gradius, not Contra!

The code was uniform amongst a variety of Konami games all released in the same era.

I found out about this last week. So I came onto the Escapist and typed in the code. I was not happy.

Why doesn't the escapist have a Konami code feature? Hmmmm?

We are to good for it?

I second that. I immediately tried it here with no result.

It looks kinda good on Facebook.

I just wish putting in the Konami code on a site would let you play Contra.

Your wish is my command lol. www.tsedfw.com . go ahead and try it....but it was the only version i could find online that was halfway decent.

 

[Scikosomatic]

it would be cool if it worked on this website

 

[YukoValis]

Didn't someone make a post about this already?
Regardless, its pretty interesting. I just wish putting in the Konami code on a site would let you play Contra.

Just go to Nintendo8 dot com and you can play it, but yeah the Konami code is certainly a legend among old school gamers.
