The "Konami Code" enamel pin is a famous cheat code sequence—Up, Up, Down, Down, Left, Right, Left, Right, B, A (often followed by Start)—created by Kazuhisa Hashimoto in 1986. Originally for Gradius on the NES, it is most famous for granting 30 lives in Contra. It is used in many games as an Easter egg to unlock secrets. #nintendo #videogames #theataris #popculture #NES
