If you need a refresher, the Konami code is: Up, up, down, down, left. Various websites will respond to the code, as will Apple's Siri and Amazon's Alexa. Once you've reached the singularity screen, you can enter the Konami code to access a Durr Burger version of Space Invaders. The code appeared in dozens of Konami titles as well as games like BioShock Infinite, Anthem, League of Legends, Rocket League, Fortnite, and more. The code became such a famous and memorable cheat code that various other games - and even Google - added it to their systems as a way to earn extra lives, play secret tunes, or give other winking nods to gamers who know their history. Hashimoto implemented the code into the notoriously difficult Gradius as a way to get extra lives, because he “obviously couldn’t beat it” when he was porting it to the system. While you're on the black hole screen, enter the following Fortnite Konami Code using your d-pad to get started: PS4: Up, Up, Down, Down, Left, Right, Left, Right, O, X, Options. The Konami Code - an input sequence of "up, up, down, down, left, right, left, right, B, A, Start" - took on a life of its own after its debut in the Nintendo Entertainment System versions of Gradius and Contra.

Kazuhisa Hashimoto, the creator of the celebrated Konami Code, has died, the video game company announced on Twitter Wednesday.
