10 Video Games That REWARDED You For Being An Idiot

When you discover the grabby pterodactyl enemies in the Dino Mite! level, you likely consider them an easy enemy. They're not especially fast, and they're also not especially unpredictable, so you can dodge them without any real issues.

However, your sweet dodging skills are actually to your own detriment. Because if you do get caught by one of these ancient creatures, you don't get mercilessly slaughtered by its sharp beak and wicked claws - no, you get whisked away to a secret level, that you'd otherwise never get to see.

Unless you know about this sordid little secret - or manage to goof a jump - there's no way you could possibly discover this. After all, every other enemy you face in the game just kills you like you'd expect, so you have less than zero reason to expect this to be any different.

Oh, also only one of these creatures will take you to this secret level. So, to get it accidentally, you've got to be pretty damn lucky - or a legitimate psychic who for some reason has used their immense powers to cheat at video games.
