      Can't remember what it did though.

            Became famous as the cheat code in Konami console games and has been used in loads of places since as the unlock code for easter eggs.

                    I did something very similar (but using a key combination to launch it) about ten years ago - when I went back to the same client a few years later, it was still in and subsequent developers had added themselves to the credits.. which was nice
