The Story
The Konami Code — up up down down left right left right B A — became the most famous cheat code in gaming history because of Contra. It gave you 30 lives, which you needed, because Contra is a two-player run-and-gun that kills you in a single hit and never apologizes. The game itself is perfectly calibrated co-op action. The code is cultural vocabulary. Together they made Contra the defining NES multiplayer experience.
