30 lives in Contra kicks ass.

Someone (January 10, 2005)

I know, you can't die enough times.....

Someone (January 11, 2005)

What an amazing band name. Barkley"Super C"Barkster

Someone (January 10, 2005)

I dont like this band, i wish they did songs about video game characters

thirtyseconds (January 10, 2005)

I'd love to see Solid Snake fronting a melodic-hardcore band

sickboi (chris) (January 10, 2005)

Have you played MGS 3 yet? I'm trying to decide whether to pick it up, the last one just had too many damn movies.

niveK82 (January 10, 2005)

then you wont like the new one. It is fantastic but there are hours of cutscenes.

thirtyseconds (January 10, 2005)

No I haven't... it's not over here yet and I stayed away from MGS 2 for the exact same reason. Plus my TV's broke. I need to complete Transformers and Broken Sword 3 before I buy anthing else.

CrookedSuperhero (January 10, 2005)

I just downloaded Silent Hill 4, so before i get into it can someone tell me if it gets better after you come back from that Subway thing.

SteveJonesTheRealBones (January 10, 2005)

this has a hell of alot of movies. i think the first one is like 30 to 40 min. but it is way better than mgs2 i think. the story is superb (even though there are some cheesy parts) and ocelot is fucking cool as hell. that guy cracks me up - jones the bones - stevejones8770@yahoo.com - purevolume.com/smashthemagnavox

niveK82 (January 10, 2005)

cool name, free ep? cool thing to do

Someone (January 10, 2005)

Eh, it was cool when The Ataris called a song that, but it just doesn't work fora band name.

Someone (January 10, 2005)

there's also a band called "the contra code"

PsychoOS231 (January 10, 2005)

Hah i forgot that one, doesn't it give you like 30 freemen(freemen that sounds lame now)

ElVaquero (January 10, 2005)

I think you meant to say it was cool when Curl Up And Die did this. It's never cool when the Ataris do something.

Someone (January 10, 2005)

they forgot the SELECT before pushing start. TOTALLY ruins the band name idea.

sickboi (chris) (January 10, 2005)

I thought you only hit select for 2 players?

Someone (January 10, 2005)

you do.

CrookedSuperhero (January 10, 2005)

The plot thickens...

theTruman (January 10, 2005)

correct. Or, you hit select first, then wait a few seconds,and let the demo mode kick in. Then hit start to return to the main screen, then do the code. Works for Life Force.

housewrecker (January 10, 2005)

I was going to say that! Nothing was better than you and your friend BOTH having 30 extra lives. I'd love to see what it will say when they start playing venues with marquees.

Someone (January 10, 2005)

up up down down is how i've seen them reffered to on posters and stuff to save space

siropsycho (January 10, 2005)

that is the worst band name i've ever heard

Someone (January 10, 2005)

Yes It IS!!!

BizzleBrizzle (January 10, 2005)

So is this band any good?

Someone (January 10, 2005)

yep

Andon (January 10, 2005)

Maybe that's how the name reads, but it's said "The Konami Code," like how !!! is any three sounds you want. Who knows.

Someone (January 10, 2005)

props for knowing its the konami code.. not many ppl know that, they think its just contra.

Someone (January 10, 2005)

post more jawbreaker shows!

Someone (January 10, 2005)

Yes!

Andon (January 10, 2005)

All in due time. I've got a few tricks up my sleeves.

Someone (January 10, 2005)

that name is funny as shit

Someone (January 10, 2005)

You are a douche bag w/cheese.

SteveJonesTheRealBones (January 10, 2005)

hhhmmm. for some reason i remember doing the " b a" part twice, then "select start" oh well. so, does there name even matter? if someone asked me if i wanted to go to a "Up Up Down Down Left Right Left Right B A Start " show without shortening the name to "up up" or "uuddlrlrbastart" or something i would probably punch them in the small intestine - jones the bones - stevejones8770@yahoo.com - purevolume.com/smashthemagnavox

SteveJonesTheRealBones (January 10, 2005)

the abreviated for of there name should read "oodler bastard" - jones the bones - stevejones8770@yahoo.com - purevolume.com/smashthemagnavox

adamfromohio (January 10, 2005)

are you done?

sickboi (chris) (January 10, 2005)

Alright dorks, 5 points to who can tell me the Sega Genesis Mortal Kombat blood code.... (I know it, do you?)

SteveJonesTheRealBones (January 10, 2005)

gamefaqs.com knows all, but if i answered it would be cheating so i will leave it to someone else - jones the bones - stevejones8770@yahoo.com - purevolume.com/smashthemagnavox

Someone (January 10, 2005)

is it abbaca...something like that

sickboi (chris) (January 10, 2005)

Oh, so close.

Someone (January 10, 2005)

i remember DULLARD. that code gave you multiple options, including blood. no?

Someone (January 10, 2005)

haha dullard. i can't believe i remembered that shit. JoshCBFL

BizzleBrizzle (January 10, 2005)

Dullard

sickboi (chris) (January 10, 2005)

The answer I was looking for is: "A-B-A-C-A-B-B"

Someone (January 10, 2005)

I think I get some points for being the first, yet second credited, to post all the fatalities for Mortal Kombat's Game Gear version on www.gamesages.com, which was actually www.segasages.com or something like that about 50 years ago when I sent them in. http://cheats.ign.com/ob2/068/005/005747.html Love, Ch ris White

Someone (January 10, 2005)

Stupid band name, cool idea.

Someone (January 10, 2005)

The best Contra clone ever was Metal Slug. Not surprisingly, Metal Slug is even a better game than Contra. You just can't beat gunning down turban monkeys on your machine gun camel.

sickboi (chris) (January 10, 2005)

Akari Warriors was way better.

Someone (January 10, 2005)

No, this order: Metal Slug > Magician Lord > Akari Warriors

sickboi (chris) (January 10, 2005)

Shit, that list is worthless. You didn't even mention Bionic Commando.

SteveJonesTheRealBones (January 10, 2005)

bionic comando was the shit - jones the bones - stevejones8770@yahoo.com - purevolume.com/smashthemagnavox - www.xanga.com/ctw160

Someone (January 10, 2005)

It's called Ikari Warriors.

Someone (January 10, 2005)

Holy shit that game ruled!!! There was a code to come back to life what was it...A B B A , that was sweet.

Someone (January 10, 2005)

you're getting too much shit in your sig

CrookedSuperhero (January 10, 2005)

Does anyone know where i can send a Snes to get it fixed? Reading this thread i've remember all the fun times i had. Mario, Mortal Combat, Batman and Castlemania. Motherfucker.

Someone (January 10, 2005)

why do that when you can A. downlaod like a million games online or B. buy one on ebay for like 10 bucks

Someone (January 10, 2005)

This is probably my faviorte band.

sickboi (chris) (January 10, 2005)

Band members' parents/girlfriends shouldn't be posting on here.

Someone (January 10, 2005)

people who arent funny shouldnt be insulting people here

Someone (January 10, 2005)

mean people should not be allowed to post here!! heres what I think of meanies!!!! -----> U SUCK

KB (January 10, 2005)

naming your band after the Komani Code = cool (even though the Ataris already named their song this, so its not quite as cool now since its been done) posting a free online EP = very cool playing shitty music = super lame CONCLUSION: This band has cool ideas but their music sucks and I'm deleting it from my computer as we speak.

Someone (January 10, 2005)

sorry it isnt street punk, fag

KB (January 10, 2005)

I never said that I prefer only street punk. I'm just saying that this stuff is not good. I like all types of punk but I'm not exactly sure how this band got onto this site.

ElVaquero (January 11, 2005)

Good music goes beyond punk.

KB (January 11, 2005)

yeah but that does not make this band good

Someone (January 10, 2005)

It's sad that most of us from the nintendo generation recognize the reference to classic NES Contra, but it takes us two hours to point out Canada on a map... But who can blame us, Canada all tucked away down there... - Not-To-Regret

Someone (January 10, 2005)

Hahah, that's fun.

KB (January 10, 2005)

I can recognize the Komani Code and locate Canada on a map. Does that make me awesome or what?

Someone (January 10, 2005)

fuck all y'all. this band is way good.

Someone (January 10, 2005)

No, they "way" aren't. What are you a valley girl?

Someone (January 10, 2005)

I propose a band called Justin Bailey. Who's in? -duped

KB (January 10, 2005)

good Metroid reference. Two points for you!
