select, start, guys.

Not to nitpick, but isn't it Up, Up, Down, Down, Left, Right, Left, Right, B, A, select, START?

Also - there is a noisy London band right now called Hadouken! (exclamatory emphasis theirs)

Wow, Google shows there is also a band called "Up, Up, Down, Down, Left, Right, Left, Right, B, A, select, START"... I suppose I shouldn't be surprised, though...

― Ben Boyerrr, Thursday, 8 March 2007 10:48 (eighteen years ago)

I don't remember select.

― Tuomas, Thursday, 8 March 2007 10:48 (eighteen years ago)

It's for the select few.

Wasn't there some game where this actually destroyed you? Because everyone was trying it with every new Konami game.

never having been much of a gamer (at least, not after the late eighties), the name of this band caused me no end of grief, as this thread just goes to show.

i'm gonna dig that out and listen to it now!

― grimly fiendish, Thursday, 8 March 2007 10:59 (eighteen years ago)

My friend wrote a song about it, I'm not sure if it's posted anymore though.

Up Down Left Right A+Start, gets you to the Final level on SONIC 1 !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I better tell everyone before 1991 ends........ oh, wait a minute.......

― JTS, Saturday, 10 March 2007 20:09 (eighteen years ago)

Adding select would let you do this for 2-player contra. 1-player only needed the B-A-Start bit.

I never had the coordination to do this stuff (not just hand-eye, but button pressing), which explained why my favorite games were like Adventures of Lolo, Harvest Moon, and Fire 'n' Ice.

That is my favorite Genesis ablum (minus one B). ALSO it is a popular thing to call me IRL. Abacab.

― Abbott, Sunday, 11 March 2007 03:32 (eighteen years ago)

Doods, select was part of the code if you wanted to play two players, k? (i.e. you could integrate select into the code right before start so the pointer would move down to 2 players)

― Hurting 2, Sunday, 11 March 2007 19:32 (eighteen years ago)

wtf, i thought i posted about the abacabb mk blood code thing on here...did ilx eat my post?

SELECT WAS JUST A LEGITIMATE/NORMAL WAY TO OPERATE THE MENU, LIKE THE START BUTTON. STOP BEING SO OPERATIONAL. YOU'RE LIKE MY GRANDMA USING WINDOWS/
