Up Up Down Down Left Right Left Right B A Select Start
I’m sure many of you recognize that code from the popular 1988 NES game call “Contra”. It gave you access to 30 lives to battle the evil….. umm…. what the heck were they battling anyway? All I know is you fight a giant brain at the end. Well, the game was awesome and it became an instant classic.
Here’s the thing, when did it become cool to remember and recognize this code 20 years later? It’s like “Oh, you remember that code? So do I! We’re such nerds!” hugs and props inevitably follow. Then the shirts came and allowed us to bond with strangers as if they were our old gaming buddies. The instant commonality and gamer nerd history broke ice better than any pickup line I’ve ever heard. We are truly in a new era: The Era of the Cool Nerd.
Now with the access to the internet, iPhones, and Facebook at the tip of our fingers, it has never been easier or more trendy to be a cool nerd. So what is the next new geeky turned trendy revival going to be? I already see thick framed glasses all over the place… what about pocket protectors? Well regardless, the nerd is here to stay and probably stay a long time. Actually, I beat Contra with the crappy -=F=- Gun and without using the 30 lives cheat… what does that make me?

haha…the Konami cheat code. I used that code to beat Gradius, Gradius 2, and also Contra. Couldn’t have done it without it! You are a superstar for beating Contra w/o using the cheat. I could have watched you play video games just to see the endings :p Anyone remember the code to fight Mike Tyson in M.T’s Punch Out? I could never beat him
This is definitely my time. I like the new direction.
I don’t think the Neo-nerds are “real” nerds though. they just use the look to be trendy

Viral Secret is definitely a good way to get started. It’s easy to use and doesn’t have too many loopholes for one to have to jump through.
I never played SoulSilver, but it should be similar to the other versions. If the keys don’t work, they might have changed it. But either way, you can start a new game by going to the title screen and when it gives you the option to continue, start new game, choose the start new game option.

Set forth by one of the first branches of warring tribes composed almost entirely of ten-year old children who were taught by intoxicated shaman that self-image was more important than education. They became the first nation of Nintendous, on the Island of Contraceptive.
The quick common function and player dork historical past smashed ice better than any collection range I’ve ever observed. We are truly in a new era: The Era of the Awesome Nerd.
