Did you ever play Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles on NES....?

Contra fans remember: Up, Up, Down, Down, Left, Right, Left, Right, B, A, Select, Start


I tried this on the downloaded Contra on my sister's Wii. Couldn't get it to work. That game's impossible without 30 free lives.

I swear that code worked on almost every game for something!


TMNT and The Goonies were two games that frustrated me to no end. Now Tecmo Super Bowl on the other hand I could still play daily

It's known as the Konami code. I believe the first game to use it was Gradius (one of the first games I remember playing for NES). Used to play Double Dragon regularly too.

Skate or Die 2 was the isht. Loved that game, especially the half pipe.

I still have my NES, and it works. I did try TMNT for a little bit. Still sucks.

Remember Rush n Attack? That was a fun one too. And Commando. And Breakthru.

That's why u get emulators and you can still play these classics without having to kill your lungs to get the NES to read your games.

My fav's are zelda (both 1 & 2) and metroid

Blowing on the cartridges did NOTHING. That was simply placebo effect. The NES I got back from my sis didn't work at all. Power button blinking symptom (when it can't read a game) that we all know and love. I Googled the fix and it worked. Simply open it up and bend the 40+ pins out a little so they make better contact with the leads on the games.

BTW, console game emulators are sweet. They are free, take up no space, and don't require much in the way of graphics, CPU, or RAM to run.
