10 Video Game Cheat Codes Designed To PUNISH You

Losing your saved files is never a fun experience. This said, losing the data due to a glitch or corruption doesn't leave you nearly as betrayed as the game deliberately erasing it in order to punish you.

For this reason, you might want to steer clear of Banjo-Kazooie's cheat codes. The Xbox version of the game doesn't take kindly to using them, and if you refuse to heed its warning, it won't hesitate to take your save file away from you.

That's right. Inputting more than two cheats in the secret code room in the Treasure Trove Cove level will result in Gruntilda the witch cursing your game with a little save-o-erase-o. Your game data will be gone, and because the first cheat you input disables saving, you'll be forced to start your adventure all over again.

To be fair, you do get a warning that the third cheat you use will take away your save, but it's still a pretty harsh punishment for someone just wanting to have a little bit of fun.

Well, that's what happens when you mess with a grumpy witch.
