Was that not Scorpion's finisher in MK?
Yeah those were the days - especially the programmable control pads where you could 'teach' them to remember the above combination and just pull it off at will!
Happy days!!
I thought Scorpions fatality was [BLK] up, up, HP? This code reminds me of the one needed to unlock blood/fatalities in MK2.
D,U,L,L,A,R,D has been etched into my memory permanently tho (MK1 code).
I love those programmable pads! I still use one for my Amiga because heaps of the games used up instead of a button to jump, so the program pad works for some games.

ABACABB was the blood code for MK1. Like most things in my mind there are tons of others hidden in there that I could remember if reminded like a sleeper agent.

I still have both of my clear ProgramPads (though one of them is pretty broken from throw-damage). The ones I had came pre-programmed with Street Fighter II moves
Also, while we're discussing completely outdated Nintendo stuff, did anyone else have the X-Band Modem for SNES? In 1994 it was my first experience with 'the internet' so to speak, since the thing came with a built-in messaging program not unlike email. I still have mine, and would give anything to be able to remember the password again so I could see what my 12 year old self was writing to strangers through my SNES...one...letter..at...a...time

That's right! I remember thinking it was like abracadabra... Wonder what the DULLARD was from then?
I believe you had to enter the DULLARD code at the main menu of MK1 on the Sega Genesis to unlock the cheats menu.
