NES Nudity Galore - The JUSTIN BAILEY Conspiracy 103
Ben Mallahan writes "The debate has raged for years over the origins of the infamous
JUSTIN BAILEY code for the original Metroid; but now the truth has
finally come out. Brace yourself for the story of the biggest cover-up
in video game history ... and a healthy dose of 8-bit nudity!"
You've been warned. This short was produced by Ben Makes Movies.com, and I got hooked into watching a few of the other shorts there as well.

Wikipedia [wikipedia.org] of course has the real story:
"...the JUSTIN BAILEY password is a total fluke. If you play around with Metroid's password system (something you can do with the Metroid Password Generator program, found in Fan Apps), you can come up with other names and words that work as passwords. The "Justin Bailey" code is one which was found early on and happened to work pretty well, so it became widely reported."
I always remember Kid Icarus that used the same password system. It too had an interesting fluke password:
ICARUS FIGHTS
MEDUSA ANGELS
Hours of fun for the whole family.
