10 Video Games That Punish You For Cheating

10. The "Nude Code" Makes Lara Explode - Tomb Raider II

Shortly after the original Tomb Raider was released, rumour spread in playgrounds and gaming magazines the world over that the game had a secret nude cheat which allowed players to strip Lara Croft of her entire wardrobe.

But as it turned out, the first game had no such cheat, and developers Core Design weren't exactly thrilled at the prospect of folk thinking they'd put something so lascivious into their action-adventure game.

And so, for Tomb Raider II, the developer put a "nude cheat" into the game which was actually anything but. 

If scuttlebutt can be believed - and it definitely can - Core Design themselves circulated the cheat code to gaming magazines en masse, only for the apparent nude code to actually cause Lara to spontaneously explode in mid-air.

Players were surely just confused at first before the reality set in, that Core Design were actually bonking you on the head and sending you off to Horny Jail.
