It appears Google threw a little Easter Egg into Google Play Games. If you played Konami's classic Contra game, then you have to be familiar with the famous code that gave you 30 lives. The next time you go into the Google Play Games app, swipe Up, Up, Down, Down, Left, Right, Left, Right. A pop will appear with buttons for A, B, and Start. Now all you have to do is tap B, A, and Start. It's not the greatest Easter Egg in the world, but it will give you an achievement.

Robert lives in upstate New York where he was born and raised. Technology was always his passion. His first computer was a Radio Shack TRS80 Color that used a cassette tape to save programs, and his first laptop was a Toshiba T1200FB that sported a CGA greyscale screen and two 720kb floppy drives (no hardrive). From the early 90’s through late 2011, he only owned Motorola phones starting with the MircroTAC all the way through to the Droid X. He broke that streak when he bought the Galaxy Nexus. Now he's sporting a Galaxy Note 4, and absolutely loves it. He has a wonderful wife and a 6 year old son. In his free time he enjoys sports, movies, TV, working out, and trying to keep up with the rapid fast world of technology.
