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!

The original TTD was super stable though. I remember once I was able to crash it by building a very tight loop for a train, that it crashed with its own tail. This was the only time I saw the red font with debugging info.

Ah! Now i remember. This was on the flooded tracks! So: tight train loop, and then flood tracks and then the game borked. Probably flooding came before train movement and it caused bad deref.
