The Konami Code (aka Contra Code), the code you would use in games made by Konami.
You are talking about Gradius

I also enjoyed playing quake on PC. Me and a couple friends would play as a team online and smoke fools with extreme prejudice.
my weapon of choice was the grenade launcher. I could lob that thing for a direct hit on anyone near or far.

Spy Hunter used to be in the Handy Way in Brooker, dropped a lot of quarters in that one... We would have joust contests on the atari in the neighborhood.

Played Pong when it first came out. Thought the whole concept was prettty stupid and haven't played since. Have video games gotten any better?

The Atari consoles also a paddle wheel controller you could use for "pong-like" games. These games required no real thought, but I enjoyed playing them. As the levels got harder, you had the opportunity to release more balls into play and I somehow had the hand-eye coordination to manage 3. 4 was too much and was a near instant crash and burn. After you clear a board, a new board would appear. If you were really good, you could time it where balls got trapped between the ceiling and the top rows.

There was a game that used that wheel remote control. Called Night Driver. The game was a PITA.

Ha. I had never seen that one:
I was always fond of Grand Prix. Remember it had the occasional oil slick?

That freaking water level on Ninja Turtles.
Mega Man was the first game on NES my son beat when he was six. I knew then at some point I would never beat him at any video game again once he figured them out. Used to destroy him in Mario Kart and he watched some Youtube video one day and I haven't beaten him since.
