Depends on the game. Contra, absolutely! Other Konami games on NES it had different effects.
E.g. The code backwards on Castlevania III it does something weird, like turn your character into Kid Dracula from the Japanese Game Boy game. I think it also did something odd on Blades of Steel like enable a harder difficulty or tournament or something... kek! I can't recall exactly, been 40 yrs since those days!
Anyhoot, the title is why I clicked on the post.... but what does it have to do with silver? Click bait shenanigans!
I didn't know that about Castlevania 3. It was so difficult that it was the only one I didn't beat as a kid. I played it later in my 30's and beat it.
Dracula's son in the game is Alucard, which is Dracula spelled backwards. He's a good character in the game, and the main character from Castlevania: Symphony of the Night.
Yeah, it's definitely the more difficult of the original three if you dont count the confusing non linear Simon's Quest (simply trying to figure out where to go and what to do.. most kids back in the day had a lot of trouble with the second title... similar to Zelda II Adventure of Link).
Ahh, yes mmm hmm. Thats why the name for the main character in Symphony of the Night (which is probably the best CV game to date). Fun Fact! The Konami code works on the OG PS1 SotN. It lets you play as Richter instead of Alucard, which Richter was the main Belmont from Castlevania Bloodlines & Dracula X games.
It's relevant because they fuck with the system to create an infinite money cheat.
