Tony Hawk 3 Question - PSX One

[Lord Magus]

magus, its the konami code. it worked for contra and gradius, among others. nintendo power also frequently called it the konami code, and when super gradius came out, they even printed up something called "the new konami code" since if you did the old one, you blew up

Again... YOU are in the same boat as Hybrid, you have ZERO ground to stand on in this argument. Again, I was THERE, you were NOT. You ask anyone around my age who had a NES when it was out what "up up down down left right left right b a b a start" is, and 95% of them will respond with "Contra code" without even flinching.
Trust me.. those of us who could be considered "gamers" in the mid-late 80's did NOT call that the "konami" code, EVER.

Oh.. and if you want to refer to print references.... since I was a member of the Nintendo Fun Club BEFORE it became Nintendo Power.. I do have a LOT of old articles I could bring the next time we go out that actually refer to THAT code being used in a new game, and do so in ways like:
"To get 10 extra continues enter the Contra Code (up up down down etc) from the title screen"

I don't even see why I'm arguing this.. the only ones disagreeing with me still had their baby teeth when this game came out.
