There was a code you entered into Contra for NES to get 30 extra lives. You entered it with the controller. What was it?

The Konami code:

↑ ↑ ↓ ↓ ← → ← → B A Start

or for 2-player

↑ ↑ ↓ ↓ ← → ← → B A Select Start

(technically, the "Start" and "Select, Start" are not part of the code, but are necessary to start the game)

The Konami code.

Technically the code is:

• up up down down left right left right b a

and select changed the mode to two players, and then start started the game, but the "[select] start" is generally referred as part of the code. This code is referred to as "The Konami Code", "The Contra Code", or simply "The Code"

The code (rendered in HTML) is:

↑↑↓↓←→←→ⒷⒶStart

For2 players, and I could be wrong, which I usually am. I remember, up up, down down,left right, left right, b a b a, select, start. But its been a minute for me. :/

Another representation of the code, which is responsible for me knowing it by heart without ever having played Contra: The Gothsicles - Konami Code IV

The actually code was up up down left right left right A B A B select start and you had to to it at the very beginning before the game actually loaded to the screen to ask how many players

Up down up down left right left right B A select start

I played this game in 86' The code was Up, up, down, down, left right left right a b b a. You had to enter it really fast at the beginning of the game.
