Working Daze by John Zakour and Scott Roberts for August 04, 2017

For us very old non-console people, was that supposed to be some kind of a cheat code for something?

I like it that someone was prepared for that move!

Although my message probably would on the lines of, “I, the Prince of Nigeria, thank you for giving me all your money!”

Thanks to Google, it’s a code for Nintendo’s Konami games that gives power-ups on command, rather than earning them throughout the game. The developer put it in for personal use, forgot to remove the code from the finished product and it got released to the public. Variations followed, but this was its original use.

Ah the Konami code. The one that I remember was Contra. The code gave you extra lives.

Konami code (but after Konami, not only in Konami games), plus ‘Wreck it Ralph’. It will not give you unlimited funds but it will let you jump higher; you just haven’t tried

… I thought it was “Rosebud” ;-)

Nice to see that the ATM has a sense of humor. And we are again shown that Roy is sorely lacking in common sense.

No you didn’t. Confusing your fantasy life with reality? Happening more and more here.

That’s the wrong cheat! The correct one is to type, with alternating upper- and lower-case, GuLlIbLe.
