Very old series of games called Wizardry - you had to swap disks between levels depending on how deep in the dungeon you'd gone. I once swapped the wrong disk in when my characters were around level 3. Somehow the game still loaded and each of my characters had somewhere North of 10 million experience points. I put in the correct disk and they kept those XPs, so my characters went from level 3 to level 100 in an instant. The rest of the game was very easy after that.
On the flipside, I did once level a character in The Bard's Tale who had 996 hit points, after he gained a level he end up with 4 since I over rode the integer buffer for that stat.
Quirky things with old DOS games.
