In-game cheats are cheats that can be activated normally in-game without hacking, mods, or using console commands.
Games that use in-game cheats:

This was previously a part of the hints section for each game; just to list that there are cheats is of course possible, but less useful than actually listing the cheats themselves.
(none of the listed games currently has a hint section btw.)

Not really an ideal game group since hints cover that area. In-game cheats come in many different forms such as codes, trainers, options in a menu, and as unlockables. Groups are better for relating. Retain elements in a game like the engine used or which country/time they are set in.

Additionally, this group would be huge -- especially among older games; I'd wager about half of the early-1990s games had some sort of in-game cheat codes.
