The Contra Code Indoor Sticker celebrates one of the most recognizable sequences in video game history:

↑ ↑ ↓ ↓ ← → ← → B A START

Add it to your sticker collection, laptop, notebook, gaming area, or another suitable indoor surface and let fellow retro gamers figure it out.

No explanation.

No logo required.

Just the code.
