Cheating in video games
Template:Current-GCOTW Cheating in computer and video games is a process whereby a player of a computer or video game creates a advantage beyond the bounds of normal gameplay, usually to make the game easier.
Typical cheats include unfair advantages such as invulnerablility ("God mode") or an infinite amount of some resource such as ammunition. Cheats may also create unusual or interesting effects which don't necessarily make the game easier to play, for example, one cheat in Jurassic Park: Operation Genesis makes dinosaurs appear 'undead'. These are known as Easter eggs.
Cheats may be activated from within the game itself (a cheat code implemented by the original game developers); or created by third-party software (a trainer) or hardware (a cheat cartridge).
