Remember the short-lived
Unicornification of ESPN.com which could be viewed by entering in the Konami Code? Turns out that's not the only site that can be modified by entering in everyone's favorite sequence of keystrokes. Check out the extremely aptly named
KonamiCodeSites.com to see a list of pages that respond in various ways to the familiar tune of Up, Up, Down, Down, Left, Right, Left, Right, B, A, Start (or Enter).
For instance,
Facebook adds a lens flare effect once the code is entered.
AdventureQuest Worlds shows a short flash clip featuring ... unicorns! (We're beginning to see a pattern here.) The best we've seen?
The official site of jQuery, a JavaScript library program, loads up a Java-based
Guitar Hero game when you input the code. Oh, and Joystiq? Every time you enter the code here,
an angel gets its wings.
[Thanks to everyone who sent this in!]
