10 More GENIUS Ways Video Games Fought Cheaters

If you're familiar with the original release of Crash Bandicoot 3, you might recall that there's a popular method for "cheesing" the Tiny Tiger boss fight in the colosseum.

If you run to the top-left corner of the screen, you can easily avoid the fleets of lions which periodically come stampeding out from the top of the arena.

It's a well-known exploit - basically a cheat - which makes it considerably easier to deal with Tiny without having to worry about dodging those pesky rampaging lions.

For 2017's N. Sane Trilogy remaster, however, players expecting to just be able to abuse the cheat again consequence-free got a rather hilarious surprise, as going to the top-left corner this time results in the colosseum's patrons hurling giant chunks of cheese at you.

As in, you're cheesing the boss, right?

Granted, in this case the remaster's developers, Vicarious Visions, were clearly just having some fun with fans, because they could've easily removed the exploit if they wanted.

Instead, they let players cheat away, albeit while gently ribbing them for doing so.
