Many video games have measures built in to punish the player for cheating (whether by built-in cheat codes or external cheating/hacking devices).
These countermeasures can vary from simple messages and reminders that constantly remind (and hopefully embarrass) the player about not playing by the game's intended rules, to more serious measures like denying access to certain features (bonus content, achievements, etc.) while cheats are in effect. In extreme cases, the game can permanently 'brand' the player's save file with some kind of designation to indicate the use of cheat codes (some games can erase their save file outright).
Of course, the game's own AI is never penalized for cheating, because everybody knows The Computer Is a Cheating Bastard.
Subtrope of Earn Your Fun. Compare Easy-Mode Mockery, where the game just doesn't like you making it easier for yourself. Also related to some examples of Copy Protection, where the game punishes the player for pirating. May be a result of fine Developer's Foresight.

Wizard101 is no stranger to this, commonly resulting in a suspension or permanent ban.
In a patch that enabled a dungeon called the Nightmare, the developers made a few severe oversights, one of which is known as the Five Shark. The Five Shark is a reference to an item card on a pet called Fire Shark. However, the developers accidentally made it so using it would make it hit the player 5 times, which was rampantly abused in PvP environments. It's currently unknown what has happened or if anything will happen to those who have knowingly abused this, but it's speculated that anyone abusing it in large amounts will get banned, and lesser offenders would get their rank reset.
In a patch released after the Azteca raid, the developers accidentally made it so as soon as it was started, it was considered "beaten". At the time, no one has completed it, so seeing people with the reward gear seemed suspicious. It turned out that entering it gave people access to a loot rerolling chest, which wasn't supposed to happen until it was beaten for real. The developers weren't entirely sure how to handle it, so they allowed people to keep their gear, but if the chest was opened more than 4 times by an account, they were given a temporary suspension. Since then, the dungeon was beaten legitimately, but a lot of people with the gear still may be looked at as cheaters.
On accident, a Game Forge employee leaked a file called CSR.wad which is a file that's supposed to be exclusive to use by the customer support team (standing for Customer Support Resources). Some people have grabbed this file and discovered that the game will load it if it's placed in the installation directory. The developers will automatically permanently ban any account (and probably device too) for using this. It's intended to be used with the purpose of things like restoring accidentally deleted or sold items, restoring deleted characters, helping players get their quest back if something happened where they lost access to their main quest and so on. Of course, in the hands of a player, it's easily abusable.

In The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess:
The store kept by a bird has this: you can just fill your lantern/bottle, but if you walk out, it yells at you and once you come back, it attacks you. Fortunately, you can stop him by putting even just one Rupee in the box (but then he calls you a cheapskate when you leave), and get on his good side again by putting in a rupee without buying anything.
Attempting to roll jump the ball over a close gap in the rollgoal game will make Hena accuse you of cheating and have to restart the stage.

The Legend of Zelda: A Link Between Worlds: Trying to 'cheat' the racing mini game by using Irene's Flying Broomstick as a Warp Whistle causes the guy at the finish line to disqualify you from the race for flying to the finish. However, the game does give you an in-game way to still 'cheat' the system, just warp to Lorule via the dimension crack placed right next to the start, teleport to Skull Woods in there (where the racing organisers can't see your actions) and exit back at Rosso's House via the second crack right next to the finish line.

An in-universe example happens in Zero Time Dilemma: In a timeline where five X-Passes are already known, Junpei gets the idea for C-Team to SHIFT to another timeline, have he and Carlos die so that Akane can learn their X-Passes, then all three of them SHIFT back to the former timeline and use them to escape. After entering the passes, the computer informs them that X-Passes from other timelines won't work, and sics a Killer Robot on them for trying to cheat.

Bloons TD Battles has no mercy if you cheat, especially if you're on mobile or Steam. If the mobile version detects you have been using cheats to get tons of medallions, earn a lot of battle energy, or if you play the game on a jailbroken device, then the game will look normal, but you are actually sent into a hacker pool where you can only play against other hackers in the hacker pool and won't be able to earn medallion rewards from weekly leaderboards or be able to join clans. Both versions (flash and mobile) also detects hacks throughout the game and instantly disconnects you if you use a hack to place towers or upgrade towers for free.

Homeworld catched both cheats and modified ship files, as the game would allow things like adding capital-ship weapons to smaller vessels by editing game files.
Homeworld: Cataclysm had Bentusi Super Acolytes that were Thrown In, essentially fighter craft with giant lasers, something frequently modded in the first game because they're cool.

In My House, most of the cheat codes have been disabled, but they do have a new purpose of offering cryptic text hints when you try to type them in. God mode and noclip (which as a limitation of the engine cannot be disabled) still work, but the map is designed to prevent effective use of the latter; trying to use it to escape your current area will send you to The Backrooms, where the area's size and repetition ensures that the exit is very difficult to find. In addition, trying to use console commands to reach the hidden Sllahrednu level will also send you to a Backrooms area, which this time is completely inescapable.

If you cheat in Master of Orion 2, you can still win and the game will give you a score, but it won't go on the scoreboard and the final screen will say, "The Council has decided to strip you of your title in the hopes that you won't CHEAT next time!"
When you cheat in multiplayer mode, the game will also tell the other human players about it a few turns later.

In Might and Magic 7, it is particularly easy to abuse save states. They did, however, set it so you couldn't do that in The Arena. If you save in The Arena and reload, you get taken back to Harmondale. The best you can do is save right before entering The Arena and hope to get lucky with the random monster selection.

If you use cheat codes to skip to the final level of Battletoads and Double Dragon and finish it, you'll get a message saying "Well done, but even the Dark Queen doesn't cheat. Try again without the warps." The Dark Queen herself chastises you in the original.

In The Stanley Parable, attempting to activate cheats in the console sends you away into a Serious Room where the Narrator gives you a lecture on cheating and locks you away for one hundred billion trillion years. Do it again, and he increases your sentence to infinity years. However, restarting the game reverts this effect.

Cheating in Descent would permanently reset the player's score to zero for the game and cause the score indicator to flash "CHEATER!" each time the player does something that should increase their score, such as destroying a robot or rescuing a hostage, while not actually increasing their score. Using the cheat codes from the previous game(s) in the sequels, Descent II and Descent 3, would set the player's shields to 1 (out of 200). Descent 3 also has a "cheat" code that does 210 shield damage to the player (also out of 200, although the Magnum-AHT's extra 13% shield power means it will still have 17 shields if the code was entered when it has 200 shields).

In The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild, one bug that made it into the game was "whistle-sprinting", whereby you rapidly tap the sprint button while whistling, which lets Link run at full speed without losing stamina. In this game, you are actively punished for attempting to whistle-sprint by draining stamina faster should you attempt it.

Donkey Kong Country
Donkey Kong Country 3: Dixie Kong's Double Trouble!:
If you use certain cheat codes to make the game easier, you receive the title "Cheating Chump". That said, using cheat codes to make the game harder, without using any to make the game easier, allows you to get higher percentages and better ratings, and cheat codes that don't impact the game's difficulty also don't impact your rating.
Using the Warp Barrel in River Side Race automatically pushes your time to 10 minutes. If you want to beat Brash Bear's time, you'll have to do it the legit way.
Using any Gameshark code in Donkey Kong 64 will cause DK to spasm uncontrollably throughout the game. Even in the opening. Worse yet, saving the game in this state will permanently corrupt the cartridge; if this happens, DK dies in one hit from any attack and can no longer pick up items, preventing further progress.

Hyrule Warriors: Though you can use a single Compass item as many times as you like in Adventure Mode by opening the Home menu and quitting the game right after you use one but before the game is saved, it doesn't work with skill appraisals in the Smithy, since the game saves right after you pay the required number of Rupees.

Bloons Tower Defense:
In Bloons Tower Defense 5, there's a special mission with a 4/4 Wizard Monkey called the Wizard Lord, who in exchange for his immense power, sells your most expensive tower for 0 dollars at the end of every even round. If you decide to just spam special agentsnote These towers are more powerful than your standard towers, he will be unable to sell them and he will leave, causing you to lose the game.
Bloons TD Battles has no mercy if you cheat, especially if you're on mobile or Steam. If the mobile version detects you have been using cheats to get tons of medallions, earn a lot of battle energy, or if you play the game on a jailbroken device, then the game will look normal, but you are actually sent into a hacker pool where you can only play against other hackers in the hacker pool and won't be able to earn medallion rewards from weekly leaderboards or be able to join clans. Both versions (flash and mobile) also detects hacks throughout the game and instantly disconnects you if you use a hack to place towers or upgrade towers for free.
Bloons Tower Defense 6: While you can always quit out to the home page midgame in case of a leak about to happen, if you attempt this on C.H.I.M.P.S., clearing the mode would only give you the red C.H.I.M.P.S. medal when you reloaded it rather than giving you both the red and the black C.H.I.M.P.S. medals. If you cleared the other game modes for that map, you will only get a gold border rather than the pristine black border.

If a player is determined to have broke the EULA in Guild Wars the game mods make sure everyone knows they're a cheater. An enormous specter of the fallen god Dhuum appears and reaps the player, instantly kicking them off the game servers.

Adding scripts and mods to your installation of an X-Universe game, or activating the script editor in a save, results in that save gaining an unremovable ***modified*** tag. This tag means you can't upload your game stats to the Egosoft site's leaderboards or complete achievements. X: Rebirth did away with this, which was probably for the best because the game was nigh-unplayable without mods at release.

Sid Meier's Alpha Centauri plasters your score with a huge "CHEATED!" in bold red if you use the in-game scenario editor to tweak the game to your advantage.
Plus the ending for that scenario will always reveal that the whole thing was just your faction acting out a wargame and that they haven't actually achieved anything, irrespective of your method of victory.

Winning the first Vectorman game after using any cheat code would make the game call you out on it, and tell you to try again without them, denying you of seeing the ending and credits. This was doubly important when a $25,000 grand prize for beating the game was the factor. You can cheat all you want in the sequel without penalty.

Ken's Labyrinth has no love for cheaters. Upon level completion, it bellows "You cheated!" at you and gives a message at the top of the high score box, such as "Don't touch those cheat keys!". Worse still is what happens once you complete the episode you're on:
In Episode 1, it traps you in a cell with big flashing walls that say "GAME OVER" and bars that separate you from the actual map that the ending of Episode 1 happens on.
In Episode 2, the final door of the level normally leads to the ending. If you've cheated, it instead leads to a series of five ten-cents-to-pass doors that open onto a hall made of walls that say "NEXT TIME DON'T CHEAT!"
And in Episode 3, the game's last key door leads to a room with a holding cell for the game's bosses and the way back to Earth… unless you're a cheater, in which case it leads to a room with no exit and bars enclosing walls that say, as before, "NEXT TIME DON'T CHEAT!"

For the mobile version of Candy Crush Saga, there's a well-known cheat that lets you replenish your lives without having to wait by setting the system time of your mobile device a couple of hours ahead. However, if you do this and then let your lives run out, there's a chance that the time counter to your next life will be reset to an ungodly amount of time (like tens of thousands of minutes ungodly). The sad heart that shows up on the No Lives Left screen will even occasionally cry black tears if this happens.

In versions up to beatmania IIDX 14 GOLD, using Assist modifiers will disqualify as well, but current versions simply downgrade the penalty to Easy-Mode Mockery, marking your clear with an "Assist Clear" unless you've obtained an "Easy Clear" or higher.

Grand Theft Auto 2: Having the 'No Police' cheat active makes some levels impossible.
In a similar vein, any cheat that gives you infinite ammo in the original GTA (be it the games own cheat codes or a device like the Game Shark) will leave you unable to complete any mission that requires you to pick up a weapon to progress.

Stardew Valley has an exploit where setting your name or that of a farm animal to an item's code number in brackets causes that item to be added to your inventory whenever an NPC says the name. In version 1.5, doing this gets you reprimanded in the chatbox by ConcernedApe, Mr Qi, or Grandpa's Spirit (but it still works).

Pokémon Diamond and Pearl: This is the reason why Diamond and Pearl never got Oak's Letter or the Member Card released for the Shaymin and Darkrai events. Players were getting them all the time through tweaking and the surf glitch, so Game Freak just gave out the Pokémon by Wi-Fi instead. Also, getting Shaymin by the glitch methods doesn't trigger the fateful encounter flag, so you can't get the Gracidea flower to change its form.

In The Wiki Game: When someone else completes the Wiki Walk, you are notified on the side and there's a link so you can see which pages they used. If you click that before you yourself have completed the Wiki Walk, you are told you aren't allowed to see until you're done.

In Raptor: Call of the Shadows, you could enable a cheat that allowed you to - with a single button-press - fully restore the health of your ship AND give you a Death Ray, one of the best weapons in the game. However, it also reset your score to 0, which in this game meant reducing the money you earned up 'till then to 0. The moral, according to the manual, is that "You can cheat death, but not taxes." However, you can use this code multiple times during a mission, racking up a pile of death-rays, and then sell them afterwards for a huge profit - then use that to buy all of the best weapons in the game and several Power Shields.

Due to a programming error though, the FUND code works even better in SimCity 2000 than in the original. If you enter it often enough, the interest rate overflows and gives you negative interest — i.e. it gives you a lot of money every month, instead of taking it.

Mech Warrior 2: 31st Century Combat had a built in cheat mode (separate from the real cheat codes) called "Altered Reality" that you could turn on at will from the Clan hall mission briefing. These states of altered reality included invincibility and infinite ammo. While these cheats were on, you gained zero honor points and were not allowed to advance to the next mission, as punishment for cheating. Switching off Over Heating tracking via the same menu, however, merely caused you not to get any points.
Additionally, Mech Warrior 2 used some of the original Doom's cheat codes for various effects. If you entered 'idkfa', which in Doom gave you all weapons and keys with full ammo, the screen turned white, the console returned "This ain't DOOM, Bub.", and your 'mech immediately exploded.
In Mech Warrior 3 and its Pirates Moon expansion, turning on any cheat would display a red "DISHONORABLE" above your mech's damage display, you wouldn't be able to progress in the campaign after completing the mission akin to Mech Warrior 2. Which presents some Fridge Logic, since in 3, You aren't playing as a Clanner that fights for "Honor".

In Super Mario 64's races with Koopa the Quick, as well as Cool, Cool Mountain's Big Penguin Race, using shortcuts disqualifies you from getting the star for that mission, as well as a stern talking-to from the other race participant. However, this only happens if you do it in front of them. If you're behind them (the Penguin) or very far in front (Koopa the Quick), you can cheat.

The Saints Row series prevents you from earning achievements and disables auto-saving should you enable cheats. It's not that much of a disincentive, since regular saving is still permitted and few of the cheats are really all that game-breaking to start with (God Mode is not a selectable cheat in part three, for instance, but you can buy legitimate upgrades to make you practically invincible anyway). Most cheats are there just to increase the wackiness and mayhem you can dish out, so it makes sense not to punish the player too harshly for wanting to mess around with them.
Using certain cheats for driving missions in Saints Row: The Third seems to wildly screw with your partners' AI when they're controlling a vehicle and cause other glitches even if you're behind the wheel.
When cheats were reintroduced in an update for the 2022 reboot, in addition to disabling achievement progress and auto-saving, enabling "dirty" cheats would disable the ability to save the game manually, however this didn't apply to the "clean" cheats. The anti-saving restriction with "dirty" cheats was removed in another update that coincided with the game's release on Steam.

In Metal Gear Solid: Portable Ops, you can unlock special characters (such as most of the cast of Metal Gear Solid 3) via in-game Guide Dang It! achievements, or via inputting a password. If you unlock the characters via the password, they learn slower and the cap for how high their stats can improve is made lower.

Final Fantasy XIV has a few anti cheat measures put in place if players get clever and try to circumvent the rules:
In every trial and raid, a boss will have a "do the mechanic or my follow up attack will cause a Total Party Wipe". Some bosses have a backup where if the players somehow manage to bypass the instant kill attack for failing a mechanic, the boss will spam their attacks until the survivors die. In the event that players manage to exploit a boss due to their AI breaking, they run the risk of having their accounts suspended or even outright banned since abusing exploits is against the terms of service.
The 2nd boss of The Copied Factory raid has all three alliances on separate platforms with mechanics that each alliance has to deal with on their own. If an alliance revives a fallen player from a different alliance, that player will be placed with the alliance that revived them. In order to prevent players from purposely killing themselves so that they don't have to do their own mechanics, the boss will transport misplaced players back to their own platform.

World of Warcraft had The Cleaner, a level 73 demon whose only purpose is to show up and slaughter people who get help during certain quests that are supposed to be done alone.
There's also a third-party add-on known as High Roller, which supposedly lets you influence the Random Number God in your favor whenever you type /roll. Not surprisingly, it Rickrolls you instead.
Another early 3rd party add-on for the same game promised to permit you to be able to hack your own character, inflating its stats to incredibly high levels, permitting you to one-shot bosses and take on cities' worth of enemy players by yourself. Also not surprisingly, this turned out to be nothing more than a dressed-up 'keylogger', a program designed to record and steal password information, thus rendering the potential cheater's account forfeit in the most satisfying Karmic Bitchslap manner.
From back in Wrath of the Lich King, a mistake in restoring a hacked player's gear accidentally left him with a 'GM item', called Martin Fury. GMs are Game Moderators, Blizzard employees whose purpose is to... well, moderate the game. GM items are typically used for testing and some of them, as can be expected, boast ludicrous powers. Martin Fury in particular was a tabard - a vanity item that drapes over your armor - that had the On Use effect of killing any hostile mob within a certain range, instantly. The player in question handed this item over to his own Guild Master, 'Karatechop' who chose to use it. In a raid. Against a currently unbeaten boss, the Hard Mode of 'Flame Leviathan'. Thus giving his guild a Server First (possibly also world first) and immediately attracting GM attention. To make a long story short, Blizzard came down on the now notorious Karatechop like the hammer of Thor. The account of every single person in that raid was permabanned. Every single player in that guild who was even online at the time - even if they were not in the raid - had his account locked for a day. Some of those accounts may have later been restored but Karatechop himself was permabanned. Story here.
Blizzard has since changed the item, effectively ending possible future re-enactments of genesis. The new effect? Use: The caster commits suicide, instantly killing themself. When given forbidden fruit few can resist.
WoW also has the "No Man's Land" debuff, which shows up if you glitch or otherwise exploit your way into a not-yet-implemented zone, such as Hyjal. With the release of Cataclysm, the full opening of Azeroth, this debuff was retired, but it is still legendary; it would teleport players out of the zone! There are also rumors (albeit, unverified) that getting the debuff automatically reported you to a GM.
While it may not be "automatically reported", GMs do seem to notice players who manage to do this surprisingly quickly. If you're lucky, the GM may show up to have a chat with you and warn you you're not supposed to be there. If you're unlucky, you might get tempbanned.
The quest "An Inside Job" tasks players with sneaking into an Iron Horde base. Should the player attempt to bypass the dungeon with any of the flight toys or a flying mount, Khadgar teleports them back to the start.

Attempt to use GPS spoofing in Pokémon GOnote that is, trick the game into thinking you're somewhere you're not and this will result in an hour-long ban—but this isn't a typical ban in that it will not lock you out of the game. Instead, you're denied access to PokéStops and gyms, and wild Pokémon will always run away from you. This was later changed so that GPS spoofing will result in a proper, typical ban. (Rooted and jailbroken users are also denied access to the game, leading to the creation of patches to fix the problem.) Of course, players have figured out this can be bypassed by teleporting back home after engaging the Pokémon but before catching it. There were also cases of people using cars and public transportation to hatch eggs at a quick rate instead of actually walking to do it. Niantic countered the exploit by disabling the tracker that counts your steps, which means eggs and any achievements/activities related to distance walked would be halted until you started walking again. Likewise, the tracker won't count your steps if all you're doing is walking in circles around your house; you actually have to walk a good distance for the game to count your steps.

Rhythm Heaven: In Megamix's Final Remix, if you try to cheese your way through the "Clap Trap" segment by repeatedly tapping/pressing A, the game will penalize you by locking out your inputs for the duration of the subsequent "Jungle Gymnast" and "Karate Man Senior" segments.

In Wolfenstein 3-D, cheating resets your score to zero.
The "ILM" (holding down I, L, and M at the same time) cheat, which gave you full health, ammo, weapons, and keys, resets your score to zero and adds 10 minutes to your time (to prevent getting a par time bonus), the more difficult to activate debug mode cheats had no penalty at all. However, many Wolfenstein 3D addons change the engine code so that using debug mode resets your score to zero permanently. Downplayed in that high scores are pretty much meaningless in any versions that don't have online leaderboards.

In both Knights of the Old Republic games, inputting a single cheat code means all saves involving that character will have 'Cheats Used' superimposed over them in bright yellow letters. Glitch exploitation, however, is another matter entirely... and both games feature some VERY exploitable (and awesomely fun) glitches.

Mario Kart DS has no major penalties for cheating. However, using any "Unlock all characters/vehicles" code via Action Replay will keep R.O.B., the game's final secret character, locked (This does not lock the player out from unlocking him naturally by completing either the Nitro or Retro GP's in Mirror, and even though R.O.B. isn't unlocked, his three vehicles become available). Secondly, any code that grants the maximum rank to a cup (three stars) will not retain when the game is turned off, even if the player does something to provoke the game to save.

Grand Theft Auto routinely prevents you from get 100% Completion should you cheat, at least in the later games (Grand Theft Auto III onwards).
The game gives you a "criminal ranking" - a numeric score and associated title. Cheating gives you a negative score, and a title like "Total Liar".
In Grand Theft Auto IV, cheats are entered via the cellphone. After you enter it, but before it's executed, it will provide a confirmation screen where it explicitly states that using the cheat would prevent the player from earning certain achievements (which it may also state). Your stats then include a "number of times cheated" measure.
Interestingly, none of the pre-GTA IV games has a problem with you using the easier "abusing saves to keep your weapons" cheat.
Also in San Andreas: In the middle of a certain mission where you're in a car chase being shot at, if you use a cheat which repairs your vehicle and makes it invulnerable to damage, the car blows up instead and you fail the mission.
The San Andreas Game Mod Things to Do in San Andreas adds "busta!" to the usual cheat activation message.

Think you can fake out Slendy's AI in Slender: The Arrival by glitching yourself outside of the boundaries? Think again. Turns out the developers had foresight, and not only will trying to walk around out of bounds drop you through the game map and instantly kill you, but Slenderman will taunt you as you die by saying, "Not even a bug in this game will save you from me."

Many Mario Party minigames that would be completely cheesed by pausing (typically counting and memorization games) will have certain elements disappear while the minigame is paused, only reappearing when the game is resumed. The Mario Party 8 Challenge minigame "Fruit Picker" even accounts for the Wii's Home Menu button being used.

The Civilization games often have a cheat menu which the player can use at any time, but use of which instantly means that your high score gets recorded as "Cheat Mode".
Some (most likely unintentional) other drawbacks would sometimes occur as well. For example, one of the cheats had a side effect of also mass spawning roving barbarians near your city.

Ratchet & Clank (2016) allows the player to unlock unlimited ammo and invincibility by collecting Gold Bolts, but the game will disable gaining weapon XP and Ratchet's XP, respectively, when they're active. However, this also means that once you have all your weapons at level 10 and Ratchet's health at the cap of 200, there are no penalties.

Metal Gear:
In one of Hideo Kojima's many many fourth wall breakages, during the torture rack sequence in Metal Gear Solid, Revolver Ocelot warns his prey not to "even think about using auto-fire, or I'll know." And in the GameCube remake he actually turns and points accusingly at the player as he says it. That would be awesome enough on its own, but he's not bluffing: Depending on the type of controller, it might go unnoticed, but if the game does detect it, it's an automatic Game Over since it won't let you input X to raise your Stamina, and Snake dies of electrocution. There is no additional meta dialog past that point.
In the PC version of MGS, activating the "Invincibility" cheat during the minigame only made it LOOK like your health wasn't decreasing, even though it not only continued to decrease, but did NOT accept button presses to recover the health. Oddly enough, auto-fire appears to work in the PC version.
If one uses a cheat device to obtain the PSG1 sniper rifle before you encounter Sniper Wolf, said character will shoot Meryl instead of you when you first encounter her and it means Meryl will die since you can't kill Sniper Wolf fast enough to prevent Meryl dying.
If you input 'UUDDLRLRBA' as your name on the terminal in Metal Gear Solid 2: Sons of Liberty, the game mocks you. The only other time you can use the Konami Code is on your Ranking screen - where it performs no function other than to make Snake get annoyed at you for trying to cheat after the game is already over. Also, during the Mind Screw sequence in Arsenal Gear, one of the No Fourth Wall insane rants is the Colonel accusing you of using a cheating device, regardless of whether you're actually doing that or not.
In Metal Gear Solid: Portable Ops, you can unlock special characters (such as most of the cast of Metal Gear Solid 3) via in-game Guide Dang It! achievements, or via inputting a password. If you unlock the characters via the password, they learn slower and the cap for how high their stats can improve is made lower.

Donkey Kong Country 3: Dixie Kong's Double Trouble!:
If you use certain cheat codes to make the game easier, you receive the title "Cheating Chump". That said, using cheat codes to make the game harder, without using any to make the game easier, allows you to get higher percentages and better ratings, and cheat codes that don't impact the game's difficulty also don't impact your rating.
Using the Warp Barrel in River Side Race automatically pushes your time to 10 minutes. If you want to beat Brash Bear's time, you'll have to do it the legit way.

Fallout: New Vegas features blackjack, slots, and roulette wheels for you to spend your hard-won caps on. Even with extreme luck, winning isn't quite assured, and with low luck, winning is nearly impossible. Attempting to abuse your savegames to avoid losses will cause the game to automatically disable access to any gambling games for 60 seconds under the in-universe pretense of 'preventing cheating.' It isn't insurmountable, but it certainly is inconvenient, as a hand of cards or a spin of the wheel usually goes by in a fraction of that time. A fast player can get four to six rounds of blackjack (and about 1000 caps of potential profit) completed in that minute.

Warcraft:
Warcraft II had a ranking system to measure the capabilities of the player. Cheating players only got Cheater rank. Thankfully, there was a ridiculously easy way around this. It could only tell if you entered a code if you did so in your current session. So if you saved your game after completing all your objectives but before getting the mission completed screen, you could exit, reload, then see the rank that was due you.
Warcraft III only displays "Cheat activated!" when a cheat is entered, but custom maps often change the message into highly insulting messages about the player's competence, maturity or genetic heritage, while others actively punish the player for using cheats by failing the map or making it unwinnable (since there's no way to actually stop the game engine from running them). Many even inform would-be players that the map is not optimized to work with cheats, so there's no point in complaining if the boss was killed during his intro cutscene and freezing the game.

Warframe automatically suspends players who spend too long in endless missions (as in, around 24 hours or more of doing so), as this is usually associated with botting or macro usage. This does, however, have the side effect of discouraging attempts to perform these feats legitimately, leading it to be dismissed as a ham-fisted Anti Poop-Socking measure.

In Yume Nikki's useless minigame NASU, you can activate a cheat using a variation of the Konami Code (� � → → ↑ ↓ ↑ ↓) which replaces the playing character's head with an eggplant and makes 300 points eggplants appear more often. However, it also prevents you from saving your score.

A Sonic the Hedgehog mod (found here) gives you this screen, normally limited to problems with the lock-on feature, when you try loading a savestate. It won't even go away when you try to reset the game.
In the Game Gear and Master System version of Sonic the Hedgehog 2, if you use the cheat codes to get to the final stage, The Scrambled Egg Zone (initially only unlockable if you manage to find all the Chaos Emeralds) in order to save Tails, even after saving him, you will still get the bad ending where it's implied Tails was killed.

In Battlefield 1942, you can enter cheatcodes through the console. If you enter it wrong, even by one letter, the console says "Trying to cheat? Shame on you. Feel my wrath." Such a result ends in an instant failure for your team. Even if you type it correctly, you are still reduced to about five death tickets instantly. However, once the round ends and you begin another one in the same match, the cheatcode still lies in effect.

The Nintendo Wars series has these two rules: if you move a unit you can press B to undo the move if you haven't chosen an action for that unit yet (like, Fire, Wait, Capture, etc), and if a unit bumps into a hidden enemy along their path during Fog of War they are "ambushed" and immediately end their turn on the spot without being able to act. This means you can "scout" by continually choosing different moves and cancelling to see if paths are clear with one unit, then cruise another through a path you unfairly know is clear. To discourage this, the devs set it so during Fog of War a cancelled move still burns fuelnote Moving five squares normally burns five fuel, but moving five squares, undoing the move, and moving five squares in a different direction will burn ten fuel instead. The game also neglects to tell you this, meaning most players find this out the hard way after thinking they'd found a clever way to game the system only to realize their units are burning a ton of fuel… Advance Wars: Days of Ruin prevents scouting by making it so that the unit doesn't actually move until you confirm the action taken.

The Legend of Zelda:
Zelda II: The Adventure of Link:
In the Great Palace, bypassing the barrier early with the Fairy spell is instant death, regardless of how much life Link has remaining.
Passing through locked doors to obtain treasure items is a waste of magic in the FDS version because items have to be struck with Link's sword in order to collect them, which he can't do in Fairy form.
The Legend of Zelda: Link's Awakening:
It is possible to pick up an item from a store's shelf, run around the shopkeeper very quickly until he can't see you (he tries to face you all the time but can't always keep up) and then run out the door with it. Players thinking they had managed to cheat the game were very surprised when a) everyone started referring to them as "THIEF" instead of their chosen name in dialogue and b) they re-entered the shop and the shopkeeper killed them with a laser. In the DX version, though, you are actually required to steal from the shop to get one of the photos in the game. Most people choose to save this one for the end of the game when they don't need to go into the shop again anyway.
The DX version has an exclusive dungeon designed for the Game Boy Color and it has its enemies and puzzles based on colors. Trying to get past the skeleton guards on a regular Game Boy will have them blocking the way and even if you do manage to get past them, trying to play through the colors gimmick without any actual color would be too frustrating to attempt.note The Switch remake made the dungeon colorblind-accessible by adding a shape to each color (square for blue, etc.) and removed its gatekeepers.
The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time:
In the Biggoron Sword quest, there are several items that must be delivered to their recipients within a time limit, and you have to travel the old-fashioned way. You're allowed (and expected) to use Epona along with any regular shortcuts you know (like the ones in the Lost Woods), but if you try teleporting to your destination with an ocarina song, the time limit will be reduced to a few seconds when you arrive and you'll be forced to start the step over.
If you use a teleport song during the Running Man contest, the timer will skip ahead to several seconds before the time you're supposed to beat.
For Dampé's game and the Fire Arrows, you have to manually wait for the time of day to change.
In The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess:
The store kept by a bird has this: you can just fill your lantern/bottle, but if you walk out, it yells at you and once you come back, it attacks you. Fortunately, you can stop him by putting even just one Rupee in the box (but then he calls you a cheapskate when you leave), and get on his good side again by putting in a rupee without buying anything.
Attempting to roll jump the ball over a close gap in the rollgoal game will make Hena accuse you of cheating and have to restart the stage.
In The Legend of Zelda: Phantom Hourglass, you can play a minigame where you dig for treasures. However, you are told to stop digging and leave the minigame area after you have obtained ten treasures. If you choose to ignore this and attempt to dig up an 11th treasure, you'll be given a warning. Attempting to dig up another one will result in a 100-Rupee fine, and yet another one will have all of your Rupees taken away. If you continue to dig for more treasure after you're broke, you'll be banned from the minigame. How do you get unbanned? By apologizing and paying a 300-Rupee reinitiation fee.
The Legend of Zelda: A Link Between Worlds: Trying to 'cheat' the racing mini game by using Irene's Flying Broomstick as a Warp Whistle causes the guy at the finish line to disqualify you from the race for flying to the finish. However, the game does give you an in-game way to still 'cheat' the system, just warp to Lorule via the dimension crack placed right next to the start, teleport to Skull Woods in there (where the racing organisers can't see your actions) and exit back at Rosso's House via the second crack right next to the finish line.
Hyrule Warriors: Though you can use a single Compass item as many times as you like in Adventure Mode by opening the Home menu and quitting the game right after you use one but before the game is saved, it doesn't work with skill appraisals in the Smithy, since the game saves right after you pay the required number of Rupees.
Downplayed in Hyrule Warriors: Age of Calamity, where you can usually take out a good deal of a Guardian's health by deflecting its beam attacks. That is, except in the second mission. Since the game is intent on teaching you about the different types of stage objectives it'll give you, trying to reflecting its beams back at it results in minimal damage until all of the Decayed Guardians are hijacked. This remains the case even if you're replaying the level as a high-level character. It is still possible to defeat it yourself in a war of attrition, but the game refuses to let you exploit its main weakness for an easy win.
The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom:
In The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild, one bug that made it into the game was "whistle-sprinting", whereby you rapidly tap the sprint button while whistling, which lets Link run at full speed without losing stamina. In this game, you are actively punished for attempting to whistle-sprint by draining stamina faster should you attempt it.
During a few sidequests where you have to escort people, like one where you have to escort a performing duo to a Great Fairy to wake her up, using the Ultrahand on the object they're sitting on for too long to try and carry them past hazards will have them tell you to knock it off. Do it enough times and they'll abort the escort, forcing you to start over.
The fan-game Zelda Classic has a built-in cheat system where the quest designer can change them. Using those and saving in that quest will permanently denote that quest with a text that says "used cheats" when the player checks the time stats.

Doom:
The series disables most of the cheats when you're playing on Nightmare mode. The only ones that work are "iddt" and "idclev".
The Sega 32X version of the game won't give you the ending if you've used any cheat codes, instead kicking you to a fake DOS prompt and softlocking the game. Considering this version of the game barely has an ending, this may be an improvement.
In the Doom mod Aeons of Death, if you give yourself weapons through the console without turning off the anti-cheat mechanism in the game options, the world turns pink and girly music starts playing.
The Doom mod Aliens TC replaces the "god mode" status bar face sprite with the admonishment "Cheat! Can't hack it eh? Loser". The messages that usually pop up to indicate a certain cheat has been entered have also been replaced with things like "Play fair, man!" and "Come on! Play properly!", and attempting to fire the BFG (which the mod doesn't actually have an equivalent to, as the Cargo Bay Loader uses both chainsaw and BFG sprites) brings up yet another prompt to play the game properly and prevents you from using any of your weapons.
Similarly, in Zombies TC for Doom, the "god mode" face has your character sticking out his tongue and wearing a dunce cap saying "sucker".
In My House, most of the cheat codes have been disabled, but they do have a new purpose of offering cryptic text hints when you try to type them in. God mode and noclip (which as a limitation of the engine cannot be disabled) still work, but the map is designed to prevent effective use of the latter; trying to use it to escape your current area will send you to The Backrooms, where the area's size and repetition ensures that the exit is very difficult to find. In addition, trying to use console commands to reach the hidden Sllahrednu level will also send you to a Backrooms area, which this time is completely inescapable.

In the original version of Banjo-Kazooie, if you enter three or more secret codes that unlock levels (but not the ones you find in-game that increase your item capacities or transform you, the ones that get you the Stop 'N Swop items, ones that give you infinite power ups, or ones that remove certain objects), Grunty erases your save file, though Bottles warns you ahead of time. In the Xbox Live Arcade version, Grunty's Code Vengeance, as it's known, doesn't work for some reason, but entering any code not from Cheato will disable saving, achievements and leaderboards.
The XBLA version of Banjo-Tooie did the same thing with any cheats not obtained normally, even though there was no such penalty in the original version.
What makes this even worse in Banjo-Kazooie is that early on in the game, you have the opportunity to refuse Bottles' tutorial. If you then pester him in Spiral Mountain enough, he threatens to delete your save file. He doesn't go through with it. Players who've seen this may well assume that Grunty's similar threat is fake too...

The first Destroy All Humans! game had no penalty what-so-ever for cheating, though in the developer commentary unlocked by completing the game, the developers "have no respect for you if you cheated." The sequels, except for Big Willy Unleashed, abolish the use of cheats completely, but cheats aren't really needed since the games became extremely easy.

Valkyrie Profile 2 on PS2 has, hands down, the most vicious anti-cheat ever. You decide to make two saves before you start cheating, just in case. You then fire up your cheat device. And suddenly find that after a couple battles, the game crashes on battle entry. Bad cheat code, right? Boot without cheating, load the save file. It still crashes. Oh well something bad must have saved. Good thing you made that backup. You load the backup save, without cheats. It crashes too now, at the exact same spot. When the game catches you cheating, it infects the system save of the game. If any infected save is read, the infection that causes battle crashes spreads to other saves it can find. Your backup "just in case I got caught cheating" save has become worthless. You have to delete all infected saves (and since you can't tell what's infected that means every save from the game on the card) and start completely over without cheating. Don't even think of trying to switch memory cards. Delete all infected VP2 saves, do not pass go, do not collect 200 dollars. Failing to do so will risk it spreading to your clean saves. Heaven help you if you failed to remove your little brother's infected memory card before booting the game, as now your saves are likely to crash too. Or failed to hard reboot before putting your card in.

A very cruel example in Super Cosplay War Ultra. Want to unlock and play one of the boss characters in 1P mode? Have fun in Another Battle Royale mode, which is the only mode you can play with them. Oh, and Another Battle Royale mode makes you fight 2-4 non-mook characters at once and up to 6 characters per match (until you're fighting 4 mid-bosses and two of the final bosses,) while usually giving you the weakest of the mooks for a partner.

Descent: FreeSpace disallowed the player from advancing to the next mission if cheats were activated during the mission. However, either due to a bug or an undocumented function the infinite ammo cheat remains activated on subsequent missions. This allows the player to activate the cheats and choose to replay the mission with infinite missiles and primary weapons energy without having to activate cheats.note This is (somewhat) balanced by the fact that the AI also gets the same cheat — there are two versions of the infinite ammo cheat, and the one that "remains" is the infinite ammo for ALL cheat. In fact if the player had activated the cheat, quit to the main menu, switched to a multiplayer profile and then hosted a multiplayer game ALL players who join will get unlimited ammo!
FreeSpace 2 had the same bug/feature with the infinite ammo cheat, but it also allowed the player to advance to the next mission even after activating any cheats at all.
You'll get a message asking you to stop cheating upon reaching high-ranks on the first FreeSpace game. In the end, you'll get a message about you deserving the fact of becoming admiral and having to read boring books.

In GoldenEye (1997) and Perfect Dark, winning a level with a cheat active prevents the player from unlocking the next level, or that level's cheat. This includes using cheats that make the game harder, for some reason. Also, in the level-ending score card for Perfect Dark, the mission's status is "Cheated" and the agent's status is "Dishonored". (Contrast to "Mission Status: Complete, Agent: Active", "Mission Status: Failed, Agent: Deceased", "Mission Status: Aborted, Agent: Disavowed" and "Mission Status: Unknown, Agent: Missing", the possible statuses if you don't cheat.)

In Earthworm Jim, the audio cue for entering a cheat code correctly is Jim yelling "Cheater!"note In the Genesis and Sega CD versions only
Using the debug code to jump to a late-game level in the SNES version would take you there, but nine times out of ten, after completing the level you were sent back to What the Heck?
It also includes an Easter Egg for entering one of the Doom cheat codes that mocks you for confusing the two games.

If you get caught using a bot in RuneScape, you'll end up getting temporarily banned from the game as well as having your trading capabilities temporarily restricted as well. The third time you get caught, everyone will know—along with being permanently banned, you're sent to Botany Bay, where you will be scolded by a character named the Botfinder General who will then ask the players who are attending your trial on how to execute you for your bad behavior.

Using any Gameshark code in Donkey Kong 64 will cause DK to spasm uncontrollably throughout the game. Even in the opening. Worse yet, saving the game in this state will permanently corrupt the cartridge; if this happens, DK dies in one hit from any attack and can no longer pick up items, preventing further progress.

In Shovel Knight, inputting a cheat code in name entry screen and confirming it will disqualify the player from getting feats on that file (unless it's a purely cosmetic code that doesn't affect the actual gameplay). Playing in Co-op mode or (prior to the King of Cards update) playing as a Custom Knight via amiibo will also disable feats.

Ecco the Dolphin has a menu that can be accessed by pausing while Ecco is facing you and entering the correct button sequence. There's a level select part of the menu, but the problem is, you would be taken just as often as not to a damaged or buggy version of a level. It's even possible to end up returning to the opening sequence with its auto-scrolling mechanics, but with the ability to control Ecco. Often, these glitchy levels were identifiable by the fact that only the level password appeared, no level title or description. Or, the game would simply return to the title screen and freeze there. All you could do was reset the game. In addition, if you use the debug menu (or even are just using an emulator on PC to play) to beat the second game in the series, the "secret password" message is replaced with something along the lines of 'try playing without cheat mode'.

Within Eradicator, using the cheat codes, using console commands to start at the last level, or even using the level editor to get to the last level resulted in the ending text message indicating that, by cheating, you've lost your ability to unlock the secret bonus for defeating the game.

TIE Fighter featured a pair of toggles in the in-flight menu to turn on invulnerability and unlimited ammo if the player thought the mission was too difficult. However, turning either on for even a second would cause the player's final score to drop by 90%.

During the Spamton NEO fight in Deltarune, holding down the Enter-key and pressing Z allows you to skip the chargeup of your Charged Attack and spam it endlessly. Doing this will cause Spamton to turn red, and makes the fight more difficult by making his attacks faster and more durable.

In The Legend of Zelda: Phantom Hourglass, you can play a minigame where you dig for treasures. However, you are told to stop digging and leave the minigame area after you have obtained ten treasures. If you choose to ignore this and attempt to dig up an 11th treasure, you'll be given a warning. Attempting to dig up another one will result in a 100-Rupee fine, and yet another one will have all of your Rupees taken away. If you continue to dig for more treasure after you're broke, you'll be banned from the minigame. How do you get unbanned? By apologizing and paying a 300-Rupee reinitiation fee.

The NES adaptation of 1943 features a Password Save system that encodes your ship's stats and the starting stage into a five-character password. The password contains a checksum that not only makes it more difficult to change your stats or stage just by changing one character (although there are walkthroughs that have cracked this checksum), but it also imposes a minimum starting stage based on your ship's stat sum, so you can't just, say, go into stage 2 with a maxed-out ship.

In Disgaea DS, if you use an Action Replay to amp up the earned experience, it will eventually result in your characters requiring billions of experience points to advance even a single level. Of course, you can usually get to about level 2300 before this kicks in. Using hacked weapons to put some of your stats up to the billion range doesn't cause the game to call you out on it, however, but editing the characters causes cheksum errors in every game in the series.

In the Devil May Cry series, the Super costumes (unlocked by completing the "Must Die" mode) grant the character infinite Devil Trigger gauge (as well as other added features like instant MAX-Acts for Nero or a pseudo-permanently full Concentration Gauge for Vergil). However, health regeneration is disabled, moves that consume the DT Gauge (like Time Lag, Showdown, or Summoned Swords) will still drain the meter down (and in the case of Royalgaurd Style in Devil May Cry 5, you have to put yourself into a cooldown state for the Royal Gauge to refill back to max, a Nerf to how it used to work with the Super costume in Devil May Cry 4), and starting from Devil May Cry 4 onwards, using Super costumes will cut your total mission score by a certain percentage.

Pokémon:
General:
Newer Pokémon games implement methods to keep players from either transferring severely hacked (as in modified stats and illegitimate Abilities) Pokémon between games or from using them in things like Colosseums and the Battle Frontier. They don't seem to have found a way to do this for illegitimate move sets yet, though.
Pokémon Bank's side app, Poké Transporter, will not send over any pokémon that fails its hack checks. Unfortunately, there were cases where legitimate event mons were seen as hacked.
Cheating is now also harder because patches can be released to update software and patch previously used exploits. In one case, players were induced to update their system and close the exploit that was allowing genning Pokémon via QR codes, because the update patch for the game itself was in the eShop. In order to go online and get it, a system update was required. Not updating blocks any online play.
Most Pokémon games use the actual time on the system clock to determine certain events, like NPCs who will help you once daily, items that respawn, weather in the Wild Area in Pokémon Sword and Shield, etc. If the games notice you changing the clock, they'll cancel all daily events for a while. (There's an exploit in Sword and Shield that partially prevents this though.)
Using a cheat device on the DS titles would lock them out from participating in official Nintendo-sanctioned tournaments.
If tournament operators find that an illegal Pokémon is being used by a player during a VGC tournament, they have the right to apply penalties, such as removing that Pokémon from the player's team sheet permanently for the rest of the tournament. Most players are savvy enough to smuggle hacked "legal" Pokémon through (illegally created Pokémon with legal stats/movesets/etc.), but occasionally multiple players get sloppy and have carbon copies of multiple Pokémon with the exact same internal data, which is a dead giveaway for hacked Pokémon.
Generation 1 and their remakes:
It's impossible to transfer a Mew that was created with a glitch from the Virtual Console Generation 1 games or the Coin Case glitch in the Generation 2 games into Pokémon Bank, unless you go through a really elaborate process or soft resetting your Trainer ID to be 22796 with the name GF before you obtained the Mew.
In Pokemon FireRed and LeafGreen, if you hack Mew or Deoxys into the game to skip having to need the events for them, since they don't get a special flag otherwise, they will disobey your every command. Downplayed in the sense that the anti-cheat measure only worked if you directly hacked them into your game. Hacking to teleport to their location and catching them there wouldn't.
Generation 2 and their remakes:
In just Pokémon Gold and Silver, Clair will call you out if you obtain a Dragon Fang before challenging and defeating her, and will also hold on to her Rising Badge until you get the Dragon Fang in-game.
In Pokémon HeartGold and SoulSilver, if you use a Walk Through Walls cheat code to walk through the Safari Zone Gate without going through reception first, the Safari Zone will be reduced to six plain squares and the only Pokémon you encounter are Level 20 Rattatas. Strangely, the encounters are treated like regular ones instead of Safari Zone encounters.
Generation 3 and their remakes:
Pokémon Ruby and Sapphire: These games introduced the "Bad EGG" anti-cheat measurement. Apart from Emerald where it can spawn from doing the Pomeg glitch, it only shows up if you do things such as alter IVs, give illegal movesets or steal other trainers' Pokémon (all of which are impossible without a cheating device) then a "Bad EGG" will often spawn (usually in place of that stolen mon). This thing is just a useless egg that when it hatches will cause your game to crash. It also occasionally duplicates itself, overwriting other pokémon. Since it's an egg, you can't get rid of it, and cheating to get rid of it often just made things worse. Finally, anytime you restart with it spawned; especially after the aforementioned crash, you will often find your data corrupted and forced to restart.
Generation 4 and their remakes:
Pokémon Diamond and Pearl: This is the reason why Diamond and Pearl never got Oak's Letter or the Member Card released for the Shaymin and Darkrai events. Players were getting them all the time through tweaking and the surf glitch, so Game Freak just gave out the Pokémon by Wi-Fi instead. Also, getting Shaymin by the glitch methods doesn't trigger the fateful encounter flag, so you can't get the Gracidea flower to change its form.
Pokémon Battle Revolution: Used the statbreaker glitch to hack your mons' stats or imported obviously hacked Pokémon? Then in Battle Revolution, all those Pokémon are now just Bad Eggs, essentially making them useless for the game. They only go away once the offending Pokémon has left the DS game and its stock is reuploaded.
Generation 5:
From this generation onwards, the Wonder Card system ensures that hacked items or pokémon have to be triggered by a flag in the data before they'll work, making your 900 Liberty Passes with the '900 of all items' Action Replay code useless. Same thing with the event pokémon, since the game won't recognize them as the Pokémon they're supposed to be.
Despite all Pokémon being released now, using a code to fill in your Pokédex will still block you from the Global Link in Generation 5.
Generation 6:
Pokémon X and Y: Any attempt to import a Pokémon with an unreleased ability into the game will result in the ability defaulting back to the regular ability after bringing it into the game/hatching it.
Anything created with Powersaves, the sixth gen GameShark device, will only be tradable if it's within legal parameters. This includes stats, moves, shininess, or unreleased Pokémon or items. Oddly enough, illegal movesets are not checked for, only illegal moves, and legality does not appear to be considered for all of the aforementioned factors at the same time, so a Shiny Pikachu that knows Fly, Surf, and Volt Tackle at the same time (which was flat-out impossible for the moveset until Gen VII, and is still flat-out impossible for a Shiny Pikachu as of writing) is considered tradable.
Generation 7:
Pokémon Sun and Moon and Pokémon Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon: Game Sync allowed Game Freak to detect things like unreleased items or the sole unreleased Pokémon, Marshadow, and players got banned from online events and battling for it. Also, Game Freak seems to be targeting giveaways on the GTS, banning players for trading too many Pokémon too fast. Sadly, a few innocents got caught up in the bans but couldn't get the problem fixed any sooner than the pre-determined ban length.
Generation 8:
Pokémon Sword and Shield: Changing the system clock backwards, in addition to extending the reset timer for normal time-based events by 24 hours, also causes your Poké Job timers to reset to their maximum value.
Others:
Pokémon Shuffle Mobile will not allow you to access ranked events if your device is rooted (Android) or jailbroken (iOS).
Attempt to use GPS spoofing in Pokémon GOnote that is, trick the game into thinking you're somewhere you're not and this will result in an hour-long ban—but this isn't a typical ban in that it will not lock you out of the game. Instead, you're denied access to PokéStops and gyms, and wild Pokémon will always run away from you. This was later changed so that GPS spoofing will result in a proper, typical ban. (Rooted and jailbroken users are also denied access to the game, leading to the creation of patches to fix the problem.) Of course, players have figured out this can be bypassed by teleporting back home after engaging the Pokémon but before catching it. There were also cases of people using cars and public transportation to hatch eggs at a quick rate instead of actually walking to do it. Niantic countered the exploit by disabling the tracker that counts your steps, which means eggs and any achievements/activities related to distance walked would be halted until you started walking again. Likewise, the tracker won't count your steps if all you're doing is walking in circles around your house; you actually have to walk a good distance for the game to count your steps.
If you repeatedly change your device's time, Pokémon Sleep will temporarily suspend you.
Fangames:
Pokémon Clover:
Cheat in the game, and after beating the champion, you will be arrested, just before you register your team in the Hall of Fame. This effectively soft-locks your game, trapping your character in a jail cell forever. There's a noose in the corner, labeled "the easy way out", but using it deletes your save file. Note that things like emulator save states are fair game; the game will do this only if you do stuff like hacking items in or getting Legendary Pokemon you have no possible way to obtain before becoming Champion illegitimately.
As of Version 1.2, DO NOT EVEN BOTHER trying to activate a "Walk Through Walls" cheat in an attempt to skip some of the obstacles or get into a place where you have no business being in before you even complete the Elite Four because if you pull that stunt, the game will immediately teleport you to that room. As in, straight away, no matter where you are when the code is activated. But, should you be stupid enough to do that, you can delete the code from your cheat list; merely disabling the WTW cheat is not enough because the game still thinks you have it on, thus triggering the failsafe. Though, if you didn't think to save your game and/or make a save state before you activated the code, well... it really sucks to be you, in that case.

Super Punch-Out prevents you from accessing the fourth and final circuit with a career/save file if you used a Game Genie or Pro Action Replay. Of course, you also had to not be defeated in the first three circuits as well, which is likely why you were cheating in the first place...

Iji does not appreciate the player entering the Konami Code.
The Null Driver gives you 99 stat points, which lets you level up all stats to their maximum and still have points left over, fills your ammo to all owned weapons to their max, can turn enemies into random scenery objects, and the ones that don't get transformed explode. It also switches sprites and background tiles with other random images from the game with every use, which makes it difficult to tell what's a platform and what's not. Still able to navigate your way through the level? Some important doors or key terminals to those doors may be sprite-swapped with something else that prevents them from being used, trapping you in the level. Lucky enough to avoid that (or smart enough to only use the thing once)? Your time for that level gets set to 59:99, so it's impossible to do a speed run using this weapon. The graphic-swapping effects also last until the game is closed, even if you load a different save file.

Rez 's Beyond mode has the "Immortal" and "Overdrive Infinity" cheats; the former grants you permanent invincibility, and the latter grants you unlimited Overdrives. If you highlight either of these in the Beyond options menu, you will get a box saying that scores will not be saved if these cheats are turned on.

Psychonauts:
Whenever you enter a cheat code, you'll hear a voice shouting "Yooouuu cheated!". The clip is taken from one of the characters in the final level who accuses Raz of cheating, regardless of whether or not you did so, since all psychics are no-good cheaters.
Napoleon also does not permit cheating in Waterloo World. He tells Raz not to touch his pieces, his soldiers tell you that using telekinesis on them is cheating if you talk to them, and he won't accept victory if Raz tries jumping in the stronghold directly. Yet, he jams the gate mechanism when you're about to win.

A possibly unintentional one occurs the Playstation version of the original Dead or Alive, where using a Gameshark to unlock all costumes gives every character 15 costume slots. The issue is that female characters each have a max of 14 outfits and male fighters each have only 5, and picking a slot that has no corresponding costume will make the game crash while loading a match. Add to this that the CPU always chooses an outfit at random, and using the cheat effectively ruins your game data. If you want to unlock every costume and have a stable save file, you'll just have to do it the long way by playing Tournament mode on default settings 55 times to unlock each outfit individually (but you can use an invincibility code to help blow through the task more quickly).

In one mission in Space Quest VI: Roger Wilco in the Spinal Frontier, the player needs to go through a series of tasks to determine which file to search for information needed to beat the game, which happens to be the same each time. If you try to open the file without going through the motions, the game chastises you and takes away all your points... then relents and gives them back shortly afterward.

Might and Magic:
VI-VIII had Obelisk Puzzles. Even if you knew the solution, the event producing the reward in question would not happen unless you really visited and read inscription on all obelisks. In some games the event was tied to a specific time happening only few times a year, meaning if you tried and failed you had to wait until next moment. Subverted because while this forces you to collect all pieces of the riddle, you still don't have to solve it yourself.
In Might and Magic 6 there is a gate which requires you find 6 passwords scattered over huge dungeon. They would work only if a person entering them had their corresponding scroll in their inventory, so simply looking them up in walkthrough wouldn't work.
In Might and Magic 7, it is particularly easy to abuse save states. They did, however, set it so you couldn't do that in The Arena. If you save in The Arena and reload, you get taken back to Harmondale. The best you can do is save right before entering The Arena and hope to get lucky with the random monster selection.

The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time:
In the Biggoron Sword quest, there are several items that must be delivered to their recipients within a time limit, and you have to travel the old-fashioned way. You're allowed (and expected) to use Epona along with any regular shortcuts you know (like the ones in the Lost Woods), but if you try teleporting to your destination with an ocarina song, the time limit will be reduced to a few seconds when you arrive and you'll be forced to start the step over.
If you use a teleport song during the Running Man contest, the timer will skip ahead to several seconds before the time you're supposed to beat.
For Dampé's game and the Fire Arrows, you have to manually wait for the time of day to change.

Most Mystery Dungeon games quicksave upon entering dungeons, which protects against Save Scumming as turning off your console and reloading will count as a KO. The Nightmare of Druaga: Fushigino Dungeon won't stop you from doing this per se, but reloading your game after doing so will subject you to a frustratingly long unskippable lecture about the consequences of tampering with the flow of time, followed by a rapid-fire yes/no question and answer session that will kill you if you answer wrong.

In the Wing Commander compilation "Kilrathi Saga" (1-3), the launcher program gives you the option of making yourself invincible, in the first two games, akin to the old "origin -k" command line switch, but changes your callsign to "CHEATER".
In Privateer and its addon Righteous Fire, with invulnerability activated at any time during a mission, whether random or plot, you can't get credit for completing it.

In Jade Empire, it is possible to use Save Scumming to win against Gambler Daoshen in the Imperial City. However, if you're not careful, and win 20 times in a row, Daoshen will explode, preventing you from playing again (obviously).

In the Beggar's Canyon race of Rogue Squadron you'll be chastised and disqualified if you fly out of the canyon to take a shortcut. That said, and it's unknown if this is a bug or a feature, it is possible to cheat in this way if you're very quick about it and fly over the third dune as low as possible.

Left 4 Dead 2 punishes players who cheat in Survival mode. Several maps have exploits that let players be safe and zombies can never reach them. This causes the AI Director to pour Spitter acid on the group to coax them into getting back into the playing field. If the players somehow avoid this, the Director will then outright damage players continuously until they die. This doesn't always work since some exploit spots are considered "in the field" by the Director.
The game also doesn't let you enable cheats if you start a game from the main menu, only if you manually load the level using the in-game console. This is probably a compromise given that many useful commands for modders are considered cheats, and modders are likely to be loading in maps via console commands anyways.

Freeware Sonic the Hedgehog fangame Sonic Gather Battle quickly gained infamy for having a ludicrously invasive anti-cheat DRM. This includes invading your computer to steal information such as your IP address to upload to a cloud server, changing files in your OS' registry, and force-closing your internet browser if you even so much as type "cheat" or "hack" into it. It's so bad, that the game is considered by many to be malware disguised as a game.

If you play Neko Atsume, DO NOT manually change the time on your device.note Given that the game is on a smartphone and modern smartphone platforms have automatic time synchronization, you don't really have much of an excuse. Changing the timezone is fine, however. If you then load the game up, it will know and prevent the game from updating temporarily. Sometimes it's a few days until this "soft ban" lifts, sometimes it's a year or two.

Downplayed in the Cyber Space stages of Sonic Frontiers, where using the Homing Dash exploit or certain techniques that otherwise force the game to play in a way that it wasn't originally designed for, such as using the Spin Dash, Power Boost, or Jump Deceleration slider, will mark your final time with a colored asterisk based on what modifiers you used, but this has otherwise no impact on gameplay in any other capacity.

In Tetris Attack you can set an AI controller for either player in the options menu. The idea is to let a player enjoy vs. matches when they don't have another player around, but you can also use them in the single-player mode and beat the game easy with a high-level AI. However, instead of the ending, you'll get a "Hey! Quit trying to cheat!" message.

Use the "Unlock Everything" cheat in Guitar Hero and the save system disables itself.
Using almost any cheat, save for Hyper Speed, prevents you from recording high scores. Speaking of Hyper Speed...
Using the Quickplay songs cheat (which vastly expands your song choices in quickplay mode) does NOT unlock Dream Theater's "Pull Me Under". You HAVE to clear career mode (solo or coop) to be able to play "Pull Me Under" in quickplay mode. Additionally, the two cheats that actually affect how the game is played (All-slide and Auto-Kick) are the only ones that disable high scores, money accumulation, and (where applicable) achievements. Everything else is fair game for use.

Within an instanced dungeon in Perfect World called Dawnlight Halls, getting the "dice" middle path will have the player party fighting a gambling-loving succubus named Kailia the Otherworldly at the end of the path. Kailia loves punishing the player party for all failures to roll the correct number on the puzzle die in her arena by inflicting a Status-Buff Dispel and a Cooldown Manipulation debuff that CANNOT be dispelled (and as it lasts as long as two minutes, waiting it out is not a viable strategy either). If you didn't time your use of an invulnerability potion just right to prevent being afflicted (not considered cheating, as immunity potions have cooldown timers to prevent their abuse), then you will need to "sacrifice" FIVE of your skills by using them, with the understanding that the debuff will prevent you from using any of the sacrificed skills again for up to two full minutes. Thus if you're NOT playing either the main tank or the main healer, you'll probably get the idea to flee the battlefield and come back after Kailia has cast her debuff-and-purge. Deicide and Judgment modes, however, make escaping in a cowardly fashion an EXTREMELY risky tactic, as Kailia will constantly launch One-Hit Polykill strikes covering a quadrant of the battlefield, entirely unrelated to aggro (moving clockwise in Deicide, moving randomly in Judgment). If you're in the hallway leading from the dice-game board to the battlefield when her death-quadrant strikes one of the two front quarters of the battlefield, Kailia WILL strike you dead, even if you're on the apparent "safe" side of the hallway.

In the Tetris: The Grand Master clone Heboris, if you are playing a mode or mission where the objective is surviving for a set amount of time, and you use a rotation system that lets you keep blocks from locking into place for an extended period of time, the timer will stop and the game will tell you to "PUT THE BLOCK!" until you actually lock it in place to let the timer resume.

Animal Crossing:
If you turn off the game without saving, Mr. Resetti shows up to lecture you once you turn it back on. Keep doing it, and his rants get progressively longer and angrier.
In Wild World and City Folk, this presents a disadvantage to those who pull off an emergency power off because they caught one of their visitors trying to grief them by means of a bricking seed. (New Leaf allows you to safely deal with griefers by simply flipping the wireless switch on the 3DS; you'll get an error message and lose whatever happened during the online session, but the game will resume normally and Resetti won't lecture you.)
He doesn't appear if you reset while in someone else's town, but you still get punished in the Nintendo GameCube version; your face turns into a Gyroid and all the items in your inventory disappear.
The GameCube version allegedly has a custom crash handler (not the standard "On Error Freeze And Screech Incessantly" crash handler) to prevent players from getting a Resetti lecture if the game crashes. Unfortunately, that doesn't happen if your house suffers from a power outage or if you accidentally knock out the power cable. It hurts enough that you lost all of your progress. It hurt even more that you have to sit though that lecture afterwards.
In New Leaf, Resetti shows up if you reset your game... but only once, and his rant trails off into lamenting how he was put out of a job since they closed the Reset Surveillance Center. You get the option to build a new Reset Surveillance Center in town afterwards, but it's optional, and if you don't build it you can reset with no more than a mild scolding from your assistant Isabelle. Even if you do, Resetti opens his lecture by asking why you reset, and if you tell him you lost power or "had no choice", he'll skip the lecture and just ask you to be more careful in the future.
Also, if you use a Gameshark in the GameCube version, supposedly you will get a message from the wishing well saying there is "great sadness" in your town, and you'll never be able to get the golden axe. Of course, since you have a Gameshark, you can just cheat for it, but...
The wishing well further punishes you by refusing to let you dump deliveries you don't care to finish. This means that if the recipient of the delivery should move away before you have a chance to give them their package, then you'll have no way of getting the package out of your inventory unless you reset in someone else's town. Of course, again, you can just cheat it out of your inventory. The well is trying, at least.
You can also get punished for time traveling, that is, changing the time or date by large amounts. All your turnips will rot, and stalk market prices will plummet. Additionally, the game does not make a distinction between going forward and backward in time. If you change the system clock to three months before your last save, when you start up the game, the town will be in the same condition as if you hadn't played the game at all for three months. Since the Animal Crossing games rely on being played every day, or as close to daily as you can manage, a three-month "gap" in time isn't very pretty. Your town will be full of weeds, most if not all of your flowers will have wilted and died, half of your villagers will have moved out, and the remaining ones will wonder where you've been for the past 90 days.

Valve also swung the hammer on Team Fortress 2 players who have used dishonest means to unlock hats and secondary weapons - first by disabling these items for anyone who cheated, and then awarding players who didn't cheat (about 95% of all players) with a golden halo accessory. The result was a heavily split playerbase, with some servers only accepting players who were wearing halos and vice versa. Probably in response to this, the September 30, 2010 patch gave mostly everyone else a halo. As of late April 2016, the VAC system has banned every single LMAOBOX user on Steam, including over 100 competitive players in UGC. LMAOBOX is the most notorious hack in TF2 because it was completely undetectable and allowed players to gain an immense unfair advantage over others without ever suffering consequences other than possibly a kick from the server. This changed when a user stumbled upon the source code of the hack and reported it to Valve.

In Codename: ICEMAN there is a sequence where you need to play a dice game with a crew member in order to win an object needed later in the game. If you save and restore more than twice during this sequence, the crewman will accuse you of cheating and leave the room, leaving the whole game in an unwinnable state.

The Desert Bus game in Penn and Teller's Smoke and Mirrors requires several real life hours of play of driving the bus from Tucson Arizona to Las Vegas Nevada. Players trying to one up the game will usually place a heavy object on the acceleration button so the bus drives itself, only to find out that the bus occasionally drifts to the right so that the player is actually playing by keeping the bus straight. Letting the bus drift off the road makes it stall out and then a tow truck takes it back to the start with the same amount of time spent driving.

Video game pinball simulators will often have a "nudge" command, which might lead to a TILT if you overuse it as with a real machine. A few games (Crüe Ball and Pokémon Pinball among them) are "untiltable" and let you nudge indefinitely — and you'll need to in order to win. More advanced ones attempt to simulate the inertia of the physical tilt sensor, requiring several nudges in a row for the sensor to trip.

In the Good Egg Galaxy in Super Mario Galaxy, there's an asteroid planet that can only be reached in the third mission. If you have a flying hack or something and go to that planet beforehand, the warp pipe that usually leads to a Power Star leads to a bottomless hole that kills you. An unorthodox method, but effective, as it sets up the illusion that this can happen often if you use hacks.

Deus Ex saves have "-CHEATS ENABLED-" in big white letters superimposed on screenshots of save files that have cheats activated. However deactivating the cheats by reversing the state of the console command that enabled them will also get rid of the message.
Trying to save a game with an abundance of skill points crashes the game because of a buffer overflow. This was never fixed and probably intentional.

In Crusader: No Regret entering the cheat code (jassica16) from the first game, instead of the new cheat code (loosecannon16) caused a message to appear saying, "Of course we changed the cheats. Duh", while the final boss's voice taunts you, "I've been waiting a long time for this!". You are then teleported to a large room with no cover and exactly eight copies of the final boss, Chairman Draygan in his mech suit, though there is a grenade launcher and some ammo to help you fight back. While it is possible to win the fight if you're fast enough, by running in circles and getting the bosses to shoot through each other, the game still gets the last laugh. The moment the last boss dies, the Silencer turns to face the screen, and then, if the Random Number God is not on your side, blows up in flaming chunks (otherwise the game just exits).

The Lion King on Sega Genesis had a cheat menu with level select, but there was a problem; after completing whatever level you'd selected, you'd automatically be taken back to level two of the game, which, incidentally, is the hardest level in the game. Both this and the above Earthworm Jim example seem to be a coding quirk rather than a deliberate example of punishing cheaters, since you're merely picking a replacement for level 1 and not your starting level (it's a debug mode).

In Sly Cooper and the Thievius Raccoonus, if you input a Gameshark code to get infinite health, you will indeed get infinite health - but the Thievius Racoonus moves you get from bosses, which are essential to most of the platforming and/or sneaking sections, will only work with about 50 percent accuracy at best. So, sure, you'll have infinite health, but have fun falling off cliffs constantly or even failing at a SCRIPTED EVENT MOVE in the beginning of a boss fight (Mz. Ruby's mosquitoes), rendering the game basically unplayable without either massive amounts of patience or, y'know, turning the cheats off. The irony is that, looking back, the game is ridiculously easy, and there is really no reason to cheat.

Attempting to use the "give all" cheat in Call of Duty: Black Ops' Zombies levels, rather than giving you more weapons than you can normally carry as it does in campaign, instead resets your points to 0, takes away all your guns and replaces them with the starting pistol, and causes the backstory character Samantha to laugh at you.

In the original Sierra version of Quest for Glory II, using the cheat code for the first game ("razzle dazzle root beer") drops all your stats to the single digits. In AGD Interactive's remake, using the original QFG2 cheat code ("suck blue frog") first gives you a warning, then lowers your stats AND disqualifies you from obtaining paladinhood.

In Ragnarok Online to gain access to Amatsu's dungeon you need a written permission from the local ruler. To get this permission, you need to do a quest. However, you can get the permission from other characters and show it to the guard protecting the dungeon. But if you do this, the guard will say that you are cheating and will take the permission from you. Now both characters can't enter the dungeon.

Monster Hunter 3 (Tri) players who were caught cheating while playing online faced a ban from the game. Bans weren't permanent, though: they were set to expire... in the year 9999.note Players who attempted to circumvent this ban would receive an actually permanent ban. The game's online servers were shut down in 2013, so those bans were never lifted anyway.

Anything created with Powersaves, the sixth gen GameShark device, will only be tradable if it's within legal parameters. This includes stats, moves, shininess, or unreleased Pokémon or items. Oddly enough, illegal movesets are not checked for, only illegal moves, and legality does not appear to be considered for all of the aforementioned factors at the same time, so a Shiny Pikachu that knows Fly, Surf, and Volt Tackle at the same time (which was flat-out impossible for the moveset until Gen VII, and is still flat-out impossible for a Shiny Pikachu as of writing) is considered tradable.

Downplayed in Hyrule Warriors: Age of Calamity, where you can usually take out a good deal of a Guardian's health by deflecting its beam attacks. That is, except in the second mission. Since the game is intent on teaching you about the different types of stage objectives it'll give you, trying to reflecting its beams back at it results in minimal damage until all of the Decayed Guardians are hijacked. This remains the case even if you're replaying the level as a high-level character. It is still possible to defeat it yourself in a war of attrition, but the game refuses to let you exploit its main weakness for an easy win.

The original Fable has six clues leading to the Frying Pan. This is a weak weapon, but can receive up to five augmentations, making it potentially one of the strongest weapon in the game. If you dig it up without finding all six clues, it deals zero damage and has no augmentation slots.

Pokémon Sun and Moon and Pokémon Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon: Game Sync allowed Game Freak to detect things like unreleased items or the sole unreleased Pokémon, Marshadow, and players got banned from online events and battling for it. Also, Game Freak seems to be targeting giveaways on the GTS, banning players for trading too many Pokémon too fast. Sadly, a few innocents got caught up in the bans but couldn't get the problem fixed any sooner than the pre-determined ban length.

Turok:
In Turok 2, if you used the level skip to reach the final boss, would not allow you to see the ending movie. However using the all artifacts cheat and manually opening the door to the final level would.
If you win Turok 3: Shadows of Oblivion using cheats, at the end of the credits it will say something along the lines of "Congratulations, you won! But you also cheated... Try again?".

In League of Legends, it's impossible for most champions to spawn camp the enemy team because the spawn platforms will fire a laser to instantly kill you if you try. It's the only thing in the game that deals pure damage (so shields and armour won't help), and it's even the only thing that is immune to Bard's Tempered Fate ability, which affects even things like turrets and Baron Nashor. The dodge stat allowed the user to mitigate this damage, which is part of why it was removed.

The original F-Zero (1990) has, in at least one course, a massive shortcut you can take by hitting a jump pad at full speed and turning hard right to land on the track opposite of you - but a flying saucer will take your machine and drop it off where it's supposed to be, thereby negating your progress. In F-Zero GX, taking such a shortcut without some clever exploitation of the course's hidden checkpoints will cause your machine to simply explode.

In Mercenaries 2, activating cheats requires you to enter a code to enable Cheat Mode. If you do this, the game warns you that if you activate it, your save will be permanently in Cheat Mode, and you will be unable to use the online leaderboards. Since the online servers were taken down, this is no big deal. What it doesn't tell you is that it also prevents you earning Trophies/Achievements.

In Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story, if it detects cheats, it lets you progress all the way to Toad Town, and then softlocks you by refusing to let you get the Attack Pieces at the end of the blue shell tutorial. Of course, with the proper cheats, you can bypass this... until you absolutely need a blue shell to progress further.

The debug menu in Ultima VII can mostly be used without repercussions, but if you teleport to a certain set of coordinates, Lord British will appear, call you a "thieving scoundrel bastard" and sentence you to death by lightning bolt. Should you somehow survive, there's no point in continuing the game - all life has been wiped from the planet as though you cast the Armageddon spell, and all text in both the debug menu and every clickable object has been replaced with "Oink".

In The Impossible Quiz, if you press the Tab key (which normally highlights a clickable object in a Flash file), you get an instant Game Over. In The Impossible Quiz 2, this is accompanied by a screen that reads, "CHEATER! Tabbing is for TWATS!" with a screen showing a tab key getting X-ed out. Worse yet, one question attempts to trick you into pressing Tab with a message saying, "Press Tab 50 times!", complete with a timer. But the timer is actually a dud; if you wait long enough, the message changes to "Actually, don't do it, you'll die!" and you simply advance to the next question.

In Strife, using cheat codes can cause bad Script Breaking. Warping to the last level prevents you from beating the game, since the one weapon the end boss is vulnerable to isn't given by the all weapons cheat. Cheating to get the ultimate weapon early causes the rebel base to change location before you perform missions required to access that new location.

In Grand Theft Auto IV, cheats are entered via the cellphone. After you enter it, but before it's executed, it will provide a confirmation screen where it explicitly states that using the cheat would prevent the player from earning certain achievements (which it may also state). Your stats then include a "number of times cheated" measure.

Touhou:
Perfect Cherry Blossom simply closes itself if you try to use a hacking program to modify your lives, bombs, or power.
Most games feature a "Slow" column in replay and high score lists, showing the average amount of slowdown throughout the game. Ideally, the Slow percentage will stay at 0%, but sometimes, often due to the player's PC being overtaxed, the game may dip in speed, bumping the percentage up, so if the player tries to deliberately slow down their game, anyone checking their high score tables and replays will know. Many high score threads for Touhou games will reject runs where the Slow percentage exceeds a certain amount, often 10%.

Arkanoid: If you use the Arkanoid DS Paddle Controller with Space Invaders Extreme, your high scores will be marked to show that you used it. Additionally, it can't be used for Ranking Mode. Space Invaders Extreme 2 lifts the Ranking Mode ban. Paddle users will have a "P" shown next to their scores, but there is no way to separate ranking by input method. However, in versus mode, there is an option that prevents the game from matching you up with paddle players.

Ace Attorney:
One of the easiest ways to get through particularly difficult courtroom sections is to take advantage of Save Scumming to keep your "health bar" at comfortable levels. One section in the third game's second case, however, is deliberately set up to trip you up if you do that. You are only allowed to press one statement in the current testimony: a wrong press results in a game over. The problem? Every result starts with the exact same lines from Godot, which is about all you think you need to see to know that you have to reset the game again.
The final case on the second game uses a similar trick when presenting a decisive witness and piece of evidence: every input nets the first identical lines from the Judge and Edgeworth, only to change if you got it right and keep reading.
The very last evidence-presentation of the third game will, similarly, begin with the same lines, even going straight up to an close-up on your adversary before he waits for your rebuttal.
In Investigations 2, a lot of the "presenting evidence" parts come out of nowhere when you least expect it leaving you no time to save and Edgeworth himself actually mentions how he despises people who cheat at things.
In general, if one attempts to use an infinite life cheat to get past an infinite penalty, the game will bypass the cheat entirely and continue to proceed with a game over, so don't get cheeky with it.
Dual Destinies contains a rare in-universe example. Prosecutor Simon Blackquill has no tolerance for "trickery and fraud" during cross-examinations, and he'll sic his pet hawk Taka on the source of any tactics he considers unscrupulous. Targets include Apollo for his perception technique and the phantom for trying to hack into Athena's Mood Matrix and shut down its output; interestingly, Athena's tech passes muster, probably because he knows her and what she's really capable of.

In The New Order Last Days Of Europe, an Alternate-History Nazi Victory mod for Hearts of Iron IV, the German starting tree disappears right after the failed assassination of Adolf Hitler, and there is no way to go past the first focus other than console commands. If the player uses cheats to unlock the Speer Plan focus, a special event◊ has Albert Speer try to introduce his plans to work with the USA against Japan... only for Hitler to storm out of his room (still wearing his nightgown) and screaming about the player cheating, chewing them out for using console commands when he conquered all of Europe without them, before telling them to restart the whole game, and play fairly this time. Speer, completely baffled as to what Hitler is screaming about, decides to restart the heating system, hoping that Hitler's mental breakdown was just the result of a lapse in the air conditioning.

Quadrax had set passwords for each level which obviously could be shared between different players. To prevent this, Quadrax III to V (made by different developer) had randomized passwords between installations (later installments would use account system instead). However, that's not the end of it: the game actually verifies if the previous level was effectively finished, otherwise even correct password wouldn't work, so anyone trying to brute force their way will just waste their time.

If you're playing Battletanx, you can never complete Campaign mode if you activate the infinite health cheat. You'll get stuck on the bonus levels where your objective is to destroy as many enemy tanks before you get destroyed ... You can't turn cheats off and you've now ensured that you will never be destroyed (unless you press all the C-buttons, which automatically destroys your tank, even when invincible).

Mega Man Battle Network 4: Red Sun/Blue Moon would set your maximum HP to zero if you use cheats too often, although this can be bypassed via the Customizer. When you get past this, it will also randomly purge your Zenny, forcing you to grind back how much cash you lost.

In a similar vein, any cheat that gives you infinite ammo in the original GTA (be it the games own cheat codes or a device like the Game Shark) will leave you unable to complete any mission that requires you to pick up a weapon to progress.

Valorant has an anti-cheat system called "Vanguard" built into it. If Vanguard detects that a player is cheating, it will automatically ban the cheater and terminate the match (the remaining players will not have a loss placed on their record if this occurs).

StarCraft II will disable your single player achievements temporarily just after you use a single cheat code. Restart the game without using a code and you can earn achievements again.
Blizzard Entertainment started banning Starcraft II players in 2010 for using hacking devices to cheat in the single-player campaign. Their explanation is that since the game is always online, using cheats to gain achievements in the single-player campaign would unfairly affect someone's online prestige. And, since the game is always online, banning a player's account prevents them from playing the single-player portion of the game as well.
The Nintendo 64 version of the first game (which they're unlockable) will acknowledge that you used cheats on the Victory/Defeat screen.

When cheats were reintroduced in an update for the 2022 reboot, in addition to disabling achievement progress and auto-saving, enabling "dirty" cheats would disable the ability to save the game manually, however this didn't apply to the "clean" cheats. The anti-saving restriction with "dirty" cheats was removed in another update that coincided with the game's release on Steam.

Heretic punishes you for trying to use the Doom cheat codes. The God Mode cheat (iddqd) kills you immediately, while the cheat to give you every weapon (idkfa) takes away your weapons instead and leaves you with just the staff, telling you that a cheater doesn't deserve weapons.

Pokémon Ruby and Sapphire: These games introduced the "Bad EGG" anti-cheat measurement. Apart from Emerald where it can spawn from doing the Pomeg glitch, it only shows up if you do things such as alter IVs, give illegal movesets or steal other trainers' Pokémon (all of which are impossible without a cheating device) then a "Bad EGG" will often spawn (usually in place of that stolen mon). This thing is just a useless egg that when it hatches will cause your game to crash. It also occasionally duplicates itself, overwriting other pokémon. Since it's an egg, you can't get rid of it, and cheating to get rid of it often just made things worse. Finally, anytime you restart with it spawned; especially after the aforementioned crash, you will often find your data corrupted and forced to restart.

Kingdom of Loathing likes to play around with Perplexing Plurals; the plural of "kiwi" is "kiwus" for example, playing on the standard "-us" to "-i" pluralization convention. Certain Plot Coupons or other items that you can only ever legitimately have one of will often have a plural calling out the player on attempting to exploit the game — the plural form of the "Staff of Ed" is "Staves of Ed, you dirty exploiter you".
After some players used a glitch to obtain absurd amounts of in-game currency ("Meat"), the "Mr. Exploiter" item was offered by an NPC sales-penguin for 1 billion Meat—more than anyone could possibly get legitimately at the time. Players weren't punished for buying it, since it was only intended to drain the cheated Meat out of the economy (not everyone who had cheated Meat had performed the glitch themselves), but wearing an Exploiter puts "This person is the lowdown dirty bearer of a Mr. Exploiter" on your profile page.
The "scratch n' sniff sword" and crossbow let you put up to 3 stickers on them to change their bonuses. If you do anything sneaky with your browser in an attempt to add more than 3 stickers, your character tries (and fails) to stick one on the "business end" of the weapon and gets a negative Status Effect for their trouble.
There's one cookable item which can't be cooked using the game's user interface, as neither of its (no longer even easy to obtain) ingredients are tagged as cooking ingredients, so they won't show up on the list you select ingredients from. This is a browser-based game, so there are a number of ways to fake the result of selecting these ingredients and thus sending a "cook" request, which the game will comply. The ensuing item is useless, and its unlocked cooking recipe (which is still unusable through the UI even once unlocked) is filed under the recipe category "Dirty Exploits". Beyond that... the developers do notice people cooking this item, but may or may not feel like taking any action about it as that kind of exploit isn't really important to start with provided it isn't being done by a bot (and even then the main problem is the server load a bot can produce testing crafting recipes).

Using cheats from the gamebreaker pack in Dead Rising 2: Off the Record disables achievements, saving and checkpoints, even if they are cosmetic (like screen effects or big head mode) or even would make the game harder (like 2x or 4x clock speed).

The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom:
In The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild, one bug that made it into the game was "whistle-sprinting", whereby you rapidly tap the sprint button while whistling, which lets Link run at full speed without losing stamina. In this game, you are actively punished for attempting to whistle-sprint by draining stamina faster should you attempt it.
During a few sidequests where you have to escort people, like one where you have to escort a performing duo to a Great Fairy to wake her up, using the Ultrahand on the object they're sitting on for too long to try and carry them past hazards will have them tell you to knock it off. Do it enough times and they'll abort the escort, forcing you to start over.

The NES version of Solomon's Key has warps to help you get to the end of the game — a good thing because there are no saves and no continues and the difficulty is punishing. Of course, using even a single warp means you'll skip one of the levels with mandatory hidden objects, forcing you into the Bad Ending.

The second Space Hulk video game (Vengeance of the Blood Angels, the one that was on 3DO, PS1, and PC) accidentally did this on the third mission, where a couple of your squadmates fire through a door for an extended period of time and then follow you to the next section of the hulk. The exact amount of time varies because they stop firing when their weapon jams. One of the cheats prevents weapon jams.

The original 1999 Medal of Honor had a code to instantly unlock all cheats and others to unlock all stages. The catch is that cheats can still only be used on previously-beaten levels, so you have to go through the full game without them to be able to use cheats beyond the first stage. Just use a GameShark for invincibility instead? Nice try, smartass, but the code also makes all enemies invulnerable too, so several levels become Unwinnable by Mistake.
