I remember back in the day there was a Up Up Down Down cheat code that was used in a lot of things.

  1. What's the full code?
  2. Is there a name for this code?
  3. Are there any games where this code works? (nostalgia value)

    I wouldn't call this an exact dupe of that question, since that one relies on knowing what the code does or is from to be searchable.

    I seem to remember a "select start" added on to the end for a couple of the game boy games.

    @Jeffrey, that's how many of it used to memorize it, but it's not technically part of the code- the "Start" is just what actually starts the game, and you add the "Select" to move the indicator from One- to Two-Player if you're playing with someone else.

    No, I clearly remember having to hit "start" or "select start" in some games to activate the code (ex. TMNT). It did not start the game.
