• And while it doesn't really count as a cheat code, the password "NNNNNNNN" in Ecco The Dolphin will bring you straight to Welcome to the Machine, the game's next-to-last level - one that would probably qualify as the Scrappy Level to end all Scrappy Levels. It's not a cheat, it's a one-way ticket to videogame hell: it's probably the sound you'll be making before too long.

Hence, it's not an example. (It's a normal password for one of the levels.)

Another version of the konami code that might be added: In Red Faction II for the Xbox, There's a cheat code- up up down down left right left right entered on the ABXY buttons.

• An interesting aside to this, the BAND Smashing Pumpkins, in their album Mellon Collie and the Infinite Sadness, supposedly use a sound clip sampled from Doom, if the credits are to be believed.
  • Disc 2, track 1: Where Boys Fear To Tread. The sound of an exploding barrel can be heard just before the lyrics begin.
