I think it's the combo for like 75% of the NES games that came out. Life force being another on my immediate memory.

I am becoming concerned. How does Brad know the Konami code (which does work on Contra and a few other games)? Next thing Phil will know, and the world will implode!

You must be talking about one of those new fangled controllers with more than 2 buttons?

No way, an ADVENT reference? That's not for old geeks-- that game is timeless.

Just curious what if you just cut the locks off? not saying I would do it but I just think of some of the people that are in booths that might not think before they act.

The email from paramount explaining the procedure for retrieving codes contained a warning about hwo the locks were property of paramount and unreturned/tampered locks would result in such and such consequences.

Maybe what would get someone's attention is if every single theater cut the locks off and shipped them to NATO head quarters.

EDIT: Oh, I see they're the property of Paramount. Maybe you'd better not cut them off then. But once they're open, THEN ship them to NATO HQ. If Paramount wants them, they'll know where to go pick them up. [evil]

This really sucks: Paramount isn't going to release the code for "I.J." for the one lock until Thurs morning a 9am - the opening day.

Thus, no prescreening to chek prints for picture and sound, AND for locations with multiple screenings, gonna have to be some massive assembly line type heavy duty film builds that'll have to be done.

..might as well add this note to the front page along with the BV note (now, I could be wrong on this Thurs release time, for I was told this by one of our managers on a fax that was submitted there from Paramount. Thus, if wrong, maybe someone can clear up the wind...)

You sure about that (what's your source?)? It's not what the note Ben posted said, and at least around here, theatres have midnight shows scheduled for 12:01am Thursday (Wednesday night).
