Konami code

The Konami Code (Japanese: コナミコマンド, Konami komando, "Konami command") is a cheat code that appears in many Konami video games, although the code also appears in some non-Konami games.

During the title screen before the game demo begins, the player could press the following sequence of buttons on the game controller to enable the cheat: ⬆ ⬆ ⬇ ⬇ ⬅ ➡ ⬅ ➡ B A

You can see a demo here
