In the proto game "Waterworld" for Sega Genesis, there is a known password (ATADNGISED) that activates the Cheat Mode and gives you access to all the levels.

There is another password: "TESTING123" that I found in the ROM, but it has been disabled. I searched with Google for 20 minutes and didn't find any mention of it anywhere, so I'm hoping it's previously undocumented.

If you try entering TESTING123 as a password, it rejects it. To enable it, use this code/ROM hack: $0015AC:1D15 (Game Genie = CYLT-B4FN). Now the password will be accepted and it says "TEST MODE ACTIVE".

The Test Mode was definitely designed for developers. It basically 'auto-finishes' each level for you. I don't remember seeing this type of developer's tool in a game before. Kind of interesting.

EDIT: Added to site.

The alt attribute should be used to give a short description
of an image; longer descriptions should be given with the
longdesc attribute which takes a URL linked to the description.
These measures are needed for people using non-graphical browsers.

For further advice on how to make your pages accessible
see http://www.w3.org/WAI/GL.
You are recommended to use CSS to specify the font and
properties such as its size and color. This will reduce
the size of HTML files and make them easier to maintain
compared with using <FONT> elements.

You are recommended to use CSS to control line wrapping.
Use "white-space: nowrap" to inhibit wrapping in place
of inserting <NOBR>...</NOBR> into the markup.
