* The portal cloth of ''WapsiSquare'' is interesting [[http://wapsisquare.com/comic/youllberightback/ on its own,]] but it really becomes a cool gate when it is [[http://wapsisquare.com/comic/atattoo/ attached to Shelly.]] If you enter it, you come out the other cloth, but you have to be able to teleport on your own to use it. It still does have its uses though.

* Egosoft's X series has both Jumpgates, linking sectors of space, (which may or may not be neighboring in actual space, or millions of light years apart.), while the Terran race has two Jumpgates for Earth, and a network of Orbital Accelertors, which act as in system jumpgates. While at the same time preventing Jumpdrives from working. (Jumpdrives use the Gate Network to provide co-ordinates for jumps. Except for the Unfocused Jumpdrive, which is a whole different ball of wax.)

** Also, any TimeTravel leading to a TimeParadox triggers a TimeCrash which wipes out civilization on every planet containing a gate, which is why the titular Morgaine is on a quest to shut down the PortalNetwork.

* ''{{Portal}}''. Apart from the titular portals, there is the "Aperture Science Material Emancipation Grill." In order to prevent you from carting useful (and possibly game-breaking) objects into other levels, each level end is blocked by a shimmering particle field that dissolves unauthorized objects as they pass through it. It may, in semi-rare cases, emancipate dental fillings, crowns, tooth enamel, and teeth. It is especially gratifying to drag the robot turrets through it.
