University of Winnipeg Loves Contra

Posted By Ken

The University of Winnipeg DCE web developers apparently LOVE Konami’s Contra.

They’ve put an easter egg (Easter Egg = Hidden Feature) on their website that gives you access to a hidden section of the site.

What’s in the hidden section you ask? We’ll you’ll have to to try it to find out!

STEPS:
1. Go to the University of Winnipeg DCE Website
2. Make sure your mouse is not in any text fields (just click on the background to make sure)
3. Press the Konami/Contra cheat code on your keyboard (Up arrow, Up arrow, Down arrow, Down arrow, Left arrow, Right arrow, Left arrow, Right arrow, B, A)

You’ll now be redirected to a hidden page on the site. Facebook also has a similar easter egg.

Shout out to our friends at the U of W DCE! You guys rock. Make sure to follow them on twitter @uwinnipegDCE.

      make sure that you are not in any text fields… ie.. click on the page so your mouse is focused on the page. when you press up/down the page should move up and down.
