I remember back in the day there was a Up Up Down Down cheat code that was used in a lot of things.
- What's the full code?

6@Jeffrey, that's how many of it used to memorize it, but it's not technically part of the code- the "Start" is just what actually starts the game, and you add the "Select" to move the indicator from One- to Two-Player if you're playing with someone else. – Jaydles Jul 08 '10 at 01:42

1No, I clearly remember having to hit "start" or "select start" in some games to activate the code (ex. TMNT). It did not start the game. – BlueRaja - Danny Pflughoeft Sep 10 '10 at 16:18
