10 Video Game Cheat Codes Designed To PUNISH You

10. Riskymoney - SimCity 4

Even to this day, SimCity 4 is considered one of the greatest city builders of all time. This isn't just because of SimCity 4's fantastic city-creation tools, but also because the game's bizarre world was really endearing and captivating. Your city could be attacked by a giant robot or visited by aliens, and your Sims would tell you the most outrageous things.

The weirdness of the game also extended to its cheat codes, with "riskymoney" being the best example of this.

Do you remember how in the Sims, typing "motherlode" would instantly grant you a huge load of cash? Well, riskymoney does a similar thing, except every time you use it, there is a slight chance a massive earthquake will destroy your city!

Every time you want to get some easy and fast money through cheating, the game plays a little gamble with you. You might get a few extra grand in your treasury, but it might also cost you millions of simoleons in damages.

The exact chance of the cheat causing an earthquake is 25%. And if these odds sound good to you, you might have what it takes to make it as a crooked politician.
