Though this trope generally applies to impossibilities (things that the player literally cannot do no matter how well they play and no matter how many things they've unlocked in the game at that point, the computer will just have extra resources or abilities), it can also just apply to more conventional cheating. Conversely, arcade versions of games ('quarter munchers') often cheat more than home console versions. Some games have even used the fact that their AI is not a cheating bastard as a selling point. In ZX Spectrum forums such as, this phenomenon (real or imagined) is known as 'cheatingbastness'. This can be a quick-and-dirty method of achieving a 'level' playing field against a skilled human player (especially in older games, where hardware and AI capabilities were limited and prone to Artificial Stupidity), but can also create Fake Difficulty when the computer has access to moves that a human player (in the same context) clearly does not. The computer player is a cheating bastard whenever the 'rules' differ between you and Video Game A.I.-controlled opponents.
