Anyone who ever owned a Nintendo as a kid knows the Contra code by heart: “up, up, down, down, left, right, left, right, b, a, start.” Now the code is some strange hack on ESPN.com. Earlier today, entering the code on the main page, with “enter” in place of “start,” would make a unicorn appear on the screen and each tap of enter brought another unicorn. While the main page has been fixed, it still worked here as of about two minutes ago. A larger screen shot can be seen here. This awesomely random.
Also at Deadspin.
**Update: The code was not working on the linked page above when I got to Brahsome headquarters this morning. The hack has probably been fixed, but it may be working elsewhere on the site. If you can find a page where it is still working, we will send you a brahsome hat.
