I'm lost. What is this supposed to be/do? |
Joe L. | 16 years ago # |
David – to fully understand, you must go find an original Nintendo Entertainment System and insert a game by Konami, most notably Contra |

Saw this from @mihai on Twitter a couple months ago. Didn't think to tip off Google Blogoscoped... |
Kyle Wegner | 16 years ago # |
I love it! Konami codes should work in every program ever built, hands down. I don't care what it does, as long as there is an easter egg. |
Tim L. Walker | 16 years ago # |
that's pretty funny... |
Eugene Villar | 16 years ago # |
Hmmm... I wonder how it looks like with the base style; I'm using Jon Hicks OS X-inspired Stylish theme. The Ninja! appeared in the search box, though and I see the ninja background in the sidebar. I'm not sure if I should be seeing anything else. |

huh? | 16 years ago # |
so where do I type it?
i tried pressing up up down down left right left right b a, and it just pops 'add a subscribtion' dialog. |
NightOwl | 16 years ago # |
huh? I have the exact same problem – hope someone comes back to help us! LOL |
mbegin | 16 years ago # |
All you have to do is go to http://reader.google.com – Don't click anything – And type in the code... |
anonymous | 16 years ago # |
Just wondering how to do the trick? |
anonymous | 16 years ago # |
It works for me now :) Just because I was typing "ab" |

It's refreshing to see a big company like Google have a real sense of humor! |

I believe that works for Digg as well, just go to a Digg story page, and do the same thing. |
[Anonymous] | 16 years ago # |
when i do it, it just says add a subscrption |
Mark M | 16 years ago # |
haha! awesome |
[Anonymous] | 16 years ago # |
Isn't working for me. WTF? |
Freiddie | 16 years ago # |
I just laugh right in front of the screen. |

Are the tags in this post a Blogoscoped Easter Egg? (You know, Philipp isn't exactly a tag lover...) |
Tony Ruscoe | 16 years ago # |
Milivella, I think it's just to give some context for those who don't understand the reasons behind the easter egg. |

UUDDLRLRBA is called 'Konami Command' in Japan. |
Mary Specht | 16 years ago # |
Why can't I get this to work? I'm having the same problem as Anon. |
Nomad | 16 years ago # |
It took me a while. Make sure you are doing B and then A, and not A and then B. If you hit A first, it brings up the subscriptions box.
FYI, it worked on both Firefox (Camino) and Safari on MacOS X. |
Shaunonymous | 16 years ago # |
That was sweet! I work at a college and would love to add some Easter Eggs like this but don't know where to get the code... Is there a specific place I should look first? |
CVOS | 16 years ago # |
so you get a ninja theme. I'd like to see an easter egg on the iPhone.

although it's not as cool as the g-reader ninja egg, there's a Contra code easter egg for Yahoo! Answers as well---circa 2006.

if you put this in address bar
javascript:vX=[38];void(0)
Ninja can turn on / off by UP key alone
cheers, Mark
