* In the original ''VideoGame/PrinceOfPersia'', using a cheat code automatically dropped [[TimedMission remaining time]] to 15 minutes, and could only transport you up to 4th level. There are 12 levels, 60 minutes, and beating the first three levels takes about 5-10 minutes once you know where to go.
** If you're referring to Control-L, that's the ''Load Game'' command, with Control-S being the ''Save Game'' command. However, it is amusing to see how many people try to load a "nonexistent" save game and get screwed over by the 15-minute timer (there's an arbitrary setting in the executable that specifies the data if there's no save game). It should also be noted that while you can't save before level 4 or so, the game does absolutely nothing to stop you from save-scumming past that point.
*** It's not so much a cheat code because it appears in the original manual. It's Control-P... Practice Mode. Granted, it is still possible to complete the game if you're an ungodly speedrunner!
* ''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 if it isn't deactivated. This allows the player to activate the cheats and choose to replay the mission at the debriefing (or simply restart it upon activating the cheat) and play the newly started mission (and all subsequent missions) with infinite missiles and primary weapons energy without having to activate cheats. Note however that 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!

Cleaned up Ace Attorney examples

** The very last evidence-presentation of the third game will, similarly, begin with the same lines (I don't know what that evidence is supposed to mean) 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'' [[TakeThat actually mentions how he despises people who cheat at things]].
** The most striking example of the above is in case 3 where you must present two things to a single testimony. You have to present one, then it goes back to the testimony and you present the other. However if you save the game ''after'' you've present the first one yet ''before'' you've presented the second one, the game saves the data so that it registers you've erased the first contradiction yet it doesn't save the fact that you Objected. You are therefore stuck in a situation where you can't preside and must start again from the chapter start. This was confirmed by WordOfGod as a TakeThat at "save cheaters".

* ''VisualNovel/AceAttorney'' became self aware of the "save game just before presenting" cheat that a lot of players used and actually took measures to ''punish'' these people in ''Investigations 2''. For example, 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 (note that he says this JUST BEFORE you have to present evidence at one point, so it's obviously a TakeThat at the fanbase).
** The most striking example of the above is in case 3 where you must present two things to a single testimony. You have to present one, then it goes back to the testimony and you present the other. However if you save the game ''after'' you've present the first one yet ''before'' you've presented the second one, the game saves the data so that it registers you've erased the first contradiction yet it doesn't save the fact that you Objected.
