Kingdom of Loathing had an integer overflow bug way back in 2004. It let players set their currency (in this case: meat) to the max value of a 64-bit integer.

Kingdom of Loathing had an integer overflow bug way back in 2004. It let players set their currency (in this case: meat) to the max value of a 64-bit integer. The game spent the next several months setting up meatsinks in an attempt to reduce the amount of meat in circulation.
