- Brenelz Web Design (@brenelz) has a blog post called: University of Winnipeg Konami Code and a follow-up called University of Winnipeg Konami Code Revealed!

We have had reports that the Konami Code is not letting people who are using some versions of Microsoft Internet Explorer 6 into the game. It does work with IE7 and IE8. If you want to try the game out and can’t get in with IE, please consider trying out other browsers like Firefox, Safari, Chrome, Opera, or IE7/8, all of which work perfectly.
