...to enable a cheat or other effects. 🎮
The Konami Code was created by Gradius developers finding the game too difficult to play through during testing.

They created the cheat code, which gives the player a full set of power-ups (normally attained gradually throughout the game). After entering the sequence using the controller when the game was paused the player received all available power-ups. 🚀

The code was meant to be...

...removed prior to publishing, but this was overlooked and only discovered as the game was being prepared for mass production. 😓

The developers decided to leave it there, as removing it could result in new bugs and glitches. The sequence was easy enough to remember for testers and simultaneously sufficiently hard to enter accidentally during the gameplay for unsuspecting users. ☄️

Will start a little series here about me browsing this Club Nintendo issue from July 1995 (Nintendo Power in the US). 📖

I explicitly bought this one recently because I have so fond childhood memories. It must have been one of the few I owned and therefore read endless times. I still remember so much of the content and now I'm excited to refresh these memories.

The cover shows Asterix & Obelix, a PAL exclusive game series. 🐗

The magazine starts with a presentation of Donkey Kong Land. One of the few games in this issue I could actually play by myself because I had a Game Boy and a friend of mine the game. 🐵

I often borrowed it from him and experienced an awesome jump 'n run with cool graphics and a challenging but fun gameplay. It was mindblowing to control the animals shown in this magazine. 🦏

It was my entry in the Donkey Kong series.

Do you have any memories about this game? 🍌

Second article is about Yoshis Island. 🏔️

I remember being overwhelmed by the colorful graphics. I only owned a Game Boy at this time and imagined how much fun it would be to play such a graphically impressing game. Unfortunately my friends didn't own a SNES neither, so it remained an imagination for a long time.

Although you never could play most of the games presented in such magazines even reading the articles and imagine playing it was fun.

I started it offstream a while ago but it's not my kind of gameplay. It's too annoying hunting for Baby Mario when you lost him or have to start over a level because you didn't get enough stars (because you lost Baby Mario 😆 ).
But it's a great game anyways and I would have loved to played it as a kid.

Third entry is about the PAL exclusive cover story game Asterix & Obelix for SNES.

I owned the quite similar Game Boy version at the time and still remember the hard Rugby level shown on these pages. 🏉
I barely made it above this level and remember some kind of snow level afterwards where I was stuck again due to lacking knowledge of the sprint capabilities. 🏔️

Did you play the Game Boy or SNES version and have any memories of the rugby level?

Maybe you are confusing with "Asterix" for SNES?

@mforester

Wow, GG then. I wouldnt even make it through the game nowadays. Infogrames games are so hard

repeatro,
@repeatro@mastodon.social avatar

@mforester

No, whats the Tintin game?

Learning the levels and enemy positions and attacks is the way difficulty was implemented in the games these days I think 😆 If you are looking for a challenge here try some of the other Infogrames titles on SNES: Smurfs, Lucky Luke,...

The magazine continues with an article about the Street Fighter II Game Boy port. 📖
Never played this game as a kid, not even on other platforms. The only fighting game I experienced back in the days was Tekken 3 on PS1. 🤼‍♂️

To compensate here I luckily can point you out to the short video about the Street Fighter II Game Boy port I published on Mastodon recently: https://mastodon.social/@repeatro/112111097342727745

Club Nintendo magazines often came with guides about the presented games. So it is with Mickey Mouse V: Magic Wands! in the issue I have in front of me. 💫

Do you remember using one of these guides to successfully proceed in a game you were stuck before? 🔍

I might have just sped through 2 - Six Golden Coins. 😅
That's been on my replay list for a while and it seemed fitting after Super Mario World. I remember spending hours upon hours with this game as a kid and I was genuinely surprised that I just ran through it in about an hour.
Then again, I was very much "eyes on the price" and didn't look for any secrets.
Still my least favorite Mario on the GameBoy. 🤔

I really struggled with the last level, Warios castle, when I played through this classic couple of years ago. I had to hard reset every time I died to prevent me from getting game over and start from the very beginning.

Anyone anything good at the moment? I'm still on my PSP kick playing MGS Peace Walker which I think is going to keep me busy for a while. Especially as I'm not great at it 😶.

So happy I picked up a PSP again though. Such a fun console. I maaayyy have also bought Silent Hill Origins. I think that's probably all the games that I definitely want for it, but any suggestions of hidden gems that I should look out for?

There are so many hidden gems and great ports for PSP 🤩
The Monster Hunter games or early Final Fantasy titles for example 👌
