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.
