Konami Code Easter eggs dug up across the web [Joystiq]

[DP ServBot]

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.

That's pretty cool. The lens flare thing really slows down facebook though.

omg that's awesome!

Heh, yeah, is there any way to turn the lens flare OFF? Other than opening a new tab anyway...

You have to enter it as one of the completion requirements for this flash game too
