Deliberately corrupting the cartridge and preventing you from playing the game you legally purchased sounds like a great way to get sued for breaching consumer protection laws and deliberately damaging a customers property
imma be honest, Nintendo and Rare probably got told by their legal department to never do that again after the Donkey Kong one, since that's probably considered destruction of property since they're altering your game completely and rendering it unplayable, and at the time if you bought a game you were considered to outright OWN that copy.
I am willing to bet a kidney it was unintentional. DK64, was an unstable game and the first game to require the N64 Expansion Pack. Game Sharks/Genies would literally alter code.
There's also Slenderman. Some players tried to dodge him by going outside the playing area, only to find the developers had anticipated that. So cheaters found Slenderman waiting in ambush for them and telling them "Not even a bug in this game can save you from me." There's also Banjo-Kazooie, where Gruntilda the witch tells you to stop cheating or she'll erase your saves. Don't listen to her and she does it.
@@patriksvensson2360 probably not but if every copy touched by a gameshark is bricked then something is up. Gameshark is fine to use unless you're some purist facing an ethical dilemma over it.
@patriksvensson2360 There is no evidence online. This channel is just making claims it cannot prove. The cheating devices alter the games code. DK64, was unstable and the first game to require the RAM upgrade to be played. Occam's Razor tells us it was likely a glitch and code corruption.
I know you covered it before partially, but using the doom cheat codes in heretic do all sorts of funny things from instantly killing you, taking all your weapons, to turning you into a chicken if you thought they would just copy / paste the set over to a new project. To this day it remains my favorite troll!
If you use a game genie for Super Mario Bros. 3 on the NES, the game would go into an infinite pause after defeating Bowser. The rest of the game would work as expected with the cheats and everything, but after Bowser's defeat you get locked out of completing the game mere inches away from the door. To this day I always stand in front of that door spamming the up button.
I know it's a simple one but it's a classic. Banjo Kazooie and the "I'll delete your save file". It's fine to enter two illegal cheat codes (anything that modifies the castle aka opening levels or opening note doors) but you will get a warning after the second that threatens your save. If you proceed to enter a THIRD illegal cheat AND confirm that you want to use said cheat the save game is gone.
I actually really like that about the Phantom Menace, it said yes, we know you cheat, we're not here to judge, but lets make it a challenge. It gives a game as old as that a surprisingly good amount of replayability, as you can now purposely increase the difficulty and test yourself how many times you fail, or fail so many times you effectively lock yourself out, or see if you can complete the game without resorting to cheat healthing once. I wish more developers did that, instead of pointlessly finger wagging, as if it's somehow so morally wrong to cheat/make it more fun if a level/puzzle of a game is too hard, boring, or confusing.
The Perfect Dark entry was extra annoying to me, because we had to unlock the cheats by beating every level on different difficulties under sometimes very strict time limits. Those weren't really cheats.
@@theREALfearsKLOWNs That one did seem a little more arbitrary to me, I wonder if they didn't want people spoiling the game too quickly? Why not deactivate achievements?
Enter the Matrix had a cheat for unlimited ammo and slow-mo and whatnot, the catch was, every time you started a level, a grenade would be placed behind you, so if you didn't move, the grenade would kill you. Easily avoidable, until you got to the mission on an airplane and a hostage you needed to keep alive. Who was strapped to a chair at the start of that level and instantly died to the grenade, basicly locking you out of playing the last few levels. (Not 100% sure, it was a long time ago lmao)
XCOM: Enemy Unknown has cheats in which you name a soldier a certain way (mostly dev names; Sid Meier is the one I remember) to get max level characters with the best equipment. But achievements are permanently turned off for that playthrough if you even use one
In Doom (2016), using the cheat codes from earlier Doom games would disable achievements and progress. If you used these cheat codes you would have to delete the save file and start over if you wanted to make any progress
PMD: Explorers of Time/Darkness/Sky punishes cheaters by turning every item you can find in dungeons into Plain Seeds, and will even turn relics like the Fire Drum and Sky Melodica into Plain Seeds once you exit their dungeons after getting them
Here's another example from Rare. In Banjo-Kazooie, there are two kinds of cheat codes you can enter in game for various effects. The first are "legal" cheats, obtained from visiting the character cheato (he's hidden in various parts of the lair). These "legal" cheats were perfectly okay to use as much as you liked, and were typically toggle-able things. The second kind are "illegal" cheats, which can be activated by entering "cheato", followed by the code, said code being in reverse. These "illegal" cheats often did countless sequence breaking things, such as opening levels or even whole sections of the lair you don't yet have access to, as well as manually unlocking stop 'n' swop secrets, which weren't obtainable any other way at that time. As you can imagine, the "illegal" cheats were quite powerful, but that power comes with a catch, you can only enter an "illegal" code three times without consequence, and the game WILL warn you for each entry. If you entered an "illegal" code a fourth time, there would be no immediate consequence while you still played, but once you quit, the game would wipe the save file. It would be GONE the next time you loaded it up. Thankfully, the game DOESN'T do this without telling you, as the game straight up lets you know your save file will be erased once you enter that fourth code. As such, if you ended up loosing all your progress to this, well, it was your own fault for using too many illegal cheats. Banjo Tooie also had a similar system in place with legal and illegal cheats, but thankfully the consequences weren't so dire, as entering an illegal cheat would simply disable your ability to save, rather than wiping your save file.
Gta san andreas .. if you used too many cheats ingame theres a softlock once you get to the casino area. Theres a mission where a celebrity tries to jump off a roof, normally he jumps after about 45 secs but if you got the softlock he jumps as soon as the cutscene ends and you auto fail the mission.
I hate the NV and Witcher 3 anticheats. Every other game with Gambling mimigames or leather allows such cheats and nothing is negatively affected. There is no internal economy like WoW to destroy.
I feel like what they did with Tomb Raider 2 was such a missed opportunity. It would have been funnier if the fake nude nude cheat did actually remove her clothes, and her skin, and her flesh and you got to play as a skeleton Lara Croft.
In Crusader 2, if you enter the cheat from Crusader 1 (No Remorse), game sends you to a bonus level that is filled with strong mech around you killing you, while christmas music is played at the background. If you end up beating them all, your guy just uses his arm-phone and explodes, and automaticly quits.
This is especially stupid in games that have cheats implemented into their system. "Hey, we give the options to go crazy with our cheats. Be super powerful, invincible, have unlimited ammo and so on. Oh, but if you use any of them we will ruin your game." This is like inviting someone over for a delicious dinner and then tell them they can't eat anything, they should just watch you enjoy the meal.
I think putting cheats in game can still be fun. What they could do is what Binding of Issac Rebirth does. If you enable cheats/Joke Seeds/Debug, it would put the game in 'No Achievement Mode' where your run doesn't effect your game stats or unlock achievements.
I always remember the two player version of the Konami Code: UP UP DOWN DOWN LEFT RIGHT LEFT RIGHT B A B A SELECT START. Now both the Contra guys have 30 extra lives 😏
xcom has great way to prevent save scumming. If you save, attack and miss, and then reload, you'll always miss, unless its AOE. But then when it comes to another soldier to attack, he'll miss. Basically it prevents save scumming
You wouldn’t think this would count as cheating, but in The Nightmare of Druaga: Fushigi no Dungeon, if you go into the dungeon and start getting your butt kicked, you’d better not press reset or turn the console off to get out of the butt kicking, because if you do, the game counts it as a death, and you get hit with the same penalty as you get hit with for dying. On top of that, when you load the save file the next time, you are forced to sit through a lengthy lecture as the goddess Ishtar reams you over severing the chain of time, and makes you promise repeatedly that you will not do it again. Moreover, her tone changes if you do it again. My biggest caveat to this is power failures, like blackouts and such. You wouldn’t have any control over that, but the game would still hold you accountable for it.
Copypasted videos like this that are only made as low effort filler with slightly altered titles, is the kind of videos I seriously gotta stop watching. I have promised myself this year to respect my own time more; playing more videogames, reading (more) books, watching more movies etc. And the reason why I failed at these things back in 2024 (and all years prior) was because of recycled crap like this. Videos that are rehash of rehash of rehash... and still I kept watching them. Well it's gotta end.
Every time I see RuneScape's Botany Bay come up in a video about game punishments, I laugh. Fairly certain Botany Bay was scrapped/disabled entirely after a while, and has been unused for several years at this point.
Trying to use the DOOM weapons cheat on HEXEN when it came out and it took away all weapons, And when you tried the Invincibility cheat code, you got the screen that said, "You don't Deserve to Live." Cue the death music
I actually got sent to one of those trials in runescape before as a spectator and it was awesome. I had no clue what was going on but i had fun throwing tomatoes
I'm not sure if this is an anti cheat, or just a bug, but in San Andreas, during a Main Mission Race on the west half of the map, you have a sleek black car, and you have to race to win back the girl. If you have the cheat active that blows up cars you hit, a single one will set your car on fire, and then blow it up. Only happens there, never before it to my knowledge. This is knowledge as a kid playing it of course, so it could happen elsewhere. I never got further than that.
One of old wing commander games, I know on Playstation one version, if you use the cheap codes too much, you get the bad end, I not sure if that it's happen on original pc version
iirc that was just them being petty because Doom was their direct competitor. and people wonder why Heretic never really took off. putting stuff like that into your games out of spite punished players who have a lapse of memory and will put anyone who encounters it off your future titles

N64 cartridges are (except for saves) read only so I don’t see how DK64 could permanently corrupt itself if it detects a GameShark. I used an Action Reply to give me infinite health for one of the bosses and didn’t have any problems at all.
Runescape3's Botany Bay in the thumbnail? Do wish that I could have been there to see them... sadly, RS3 was too much for that computer. Could handle RS2 though...
Using the game's system to "Cheat" through the game. Example: Fallout New Vegas and Gambling... but you have a high luck skill... First... get max Luck at start. Second... get to New Vegas... however you can Third... Starting in Freeside, gamble - preferrably with Blackjack - in the available locations there to get enough for the cyber enhancement that gives you +1 luck. For those paying attention, that means you now have 11 points in luck. Get inside the Strip. The least expensive ways are to use computer to hack the gate robot, or get in through camp McCarron, steal a uniform and ride the tram. Once inside the strip, gamble away. You come out of all of that gambling with some awesome starter items and combat armor and skip going around the entire circle of roads to get to New Vegas (provided you thread the needle between Deathclaws and Super Mutants)
oh, in the first Fallout, it was possible to get your "barter" skill SO high that you could sell things for MORE than the buying price, enabling you to effectively get infinite money just by buying and selling the same thing over and over!
There is no evidence online regarding DK64 being intentional ... Was going to subscribe until I saw that, can't really trust anything else you guys proclaim as fact now. Those old cheating devices literally injected code into the games... this can cause issues for any game. Seems like DK64 was less stable than most... It was... THE FIRST game to require the The Expansion Pack, which was a proprietary RAM upgrade for the N64. It's no surpsie something like this happened.
IT IS NOT THE NUDE CODE.....IT IS THE LEVEL SKIP or ALL WEAPONS AND AMMO CHEAT CODE FROM TOMB RAIDER 1 !!!! WHAT DID YOU TRY WHEN YOU BOUGHT THE SECOND GAME? EXACTLY, TRY THE CHEATS FROM THE FIRST GAME AND THEN: BOOOOOOOOOM!
Ubisoft really are idoits why put in the in game cheats if unlocking them ruins your ability to save they never should make in game unlockable cheats if its just to be a middle finger to the player in single player for using the tools the devs at Ubisoft themselves provide in the coding.
ONE OF THE DEVELOPERS OF THE ROMHACK POKEMON CLOVER HERE WE HAVE AN ANTI-CHEAT BUILT INTO THE GAME THAT CHECKS FOR A NUMBER OF THE USUAL CHEAT CODES, AND IF IT DETERMINES YOU'VE BEEN NAUGHTY AFTER YOU BEAT THE CHAMPION, YOU GET ARRESTED AND THROWN IN AN INESCAPABLE JAIL INSTEAD OF ENTERING THE HALL OF FAME :^)
either this is bait, or you've just outed your romhack as worthless garbage with equally worthless developers who think they have the right to virtue signal at their fans instead of letting them play the game the way they want.

Rockstar locking the ability to save after using cheats in RDR2 was ridiculous
I doubt the Donkey Kong one was on purpose.
rare didnt intend to corrupt the cartridges
Ubisoft really are idoits why put in the in game cheats if unlocking them ruins your ability to save they never should make in game unlockable cheats if its just to be a middle finger to the player in single player for using the tools the devs at Ubisoft themselves provide in the coding.
ONE OF THE DEVELOPERS OF THE ROMHACK POKEMON CLOVER HERE
WE HAVE AN ANTI-CHEAT BUILT INTO THE GAME THAT CHECKS FOR A NUMBER OF THE USUAL CHEAT CODES, AND IF IT DETERMINES YOU'VE BEEN NAUGHTY AFTER YOU BEAT THE CHAMPION, YOU GET ARRESTED AND THROWN IN AN INESCAPABLE JAIL INSTEAD OF ENTERING THE HALL OF FAME :^)
Cool story, is Liam nelson going to be on the movie adaptation?
either this is bait, or you've just outed your romhack as worthless garbage with equally worthless developers who think they have the right to virtue signal at their fans instead of letting them play the game the way they want.
@@GinaRanTruthEnforcer LOL YOU'RE THE KIND OF PERSON WE DID IT FOR, THE BUTTHURT IS HILARIOUS
@@CAPSLOCKPRIME the only one butthurt here is the idiots who think they have the right to decide how their players play their romhack.
@GinaRanTruthEnforcer WE DO. FRANKLY TELLING A DEVELOPER THEY DON'T HAVE THE RIGHT TO MAKE THE GAME THE WAY THEY WANT TO IS A LITTLE PRESUMPTUOUS.
