In the original Transport Tycoon (but not OpenTTD), if you would build a tunnel from one end of the map to the other, the amout of money to pay gets so large that it triggers a (signed) integer overflow. So you can start your campaign with billions of dollars!

Windows Solitaire had this two. If you kept dealing without playing, once you'd spent over $32,768, you'd instantly be in the positive nearly that much.

Leisure Suit Larry in the Land of the Lounge Lizards on the Apple ][ let you bet negative amounts of money in the casino and make money by losing on purpose!

Then you have to bet carefully, to avoid winning by accident.
