When I was playing dying light with friend we discovered that every timw you go to sleep and wake up air drop will appear, if you don't know air drops are pretty rare and if you collext them and deliver to one guy you will recieve lots of xp, we used that multiple times to unlock grapling hook very early. Air drops also gave lots of medicine which was hard to get in early game and that very helped us

Command & Conquer: build a sandbag wall from your base into the enemy base. They conduct electricity and don't agro enemies.

Then just start erecting guard towers inside their base. The AI will divert all resources to constantly replenishing foot soldiers. I beat the whole damn game with that strategy.

Sim City 4: I would build the residential zones air-locked from jobs with a parking garage and bus-only highway. Then put a few tollbooths along the way.

Instant profit! And if I recall, all the bus passengers pay the tolls.

Also, if I had a big project planned, I'd max out taxes for a year. Everyone would begrudgingly pay it, then leave the city. Huge cash windfall and free gentrification! Reset taxes and all the cheap homes would be torn down and rebuilt as mansions.

[Edit] In the Joe Montana Football DOS game, on defense you could spam dive, and as soon as the ball was snapped, you'd dive through the center and instantly sack the QB. It was a joke, and playing two player, you could only run shotgun formations because you couldn't trust the other guy not to dive spam.

Another C&C exploit was that you could sell a guard tower and hit the S key during the debuild animation to cancel it.
You wouldn't get the money from selling the guard tower, but you'd get a few minigunners exit the building each time.

Then you could sell infantry units by placing them close to a sandbag, and getting the sell cursor kinda in-between the sandbag and the infantry, as close to the infantry as possible.

So you could raise a minigunner army for next to nothing, or get infinite funds from selling the troops.
