On the C-64 version of the game, I accidentally found a way to get an extra 16777216 C-Bills because of a bug. Apparently, it did 24-bit addition or subtraction on a 32-bit number. In the version I recently downloaded, I can't figure out how to recreate the glitch. Does anyone know anything about it?
(Considering all the activity here, I just know I'm going to get a response soon.)

Not a game I've played, but Google found some various cheats listed in a Wiki and also on a German fanpage:

(note: the last link should include the whole line, but for some reason the Mobygames forum cuts it after the colon)
Money cheat is based on hex editing the save files - make backups, don't attempt it if you don't know what you are doing.

Thanks, but that's not what I was looking for. There's a bug in the game which causes strange behavior, when you a lot of stock. I triggered it in a recent playthrough, but I didn't have enough saved games to figure out what happened. I think it's related to the strange behavior of BakPhar.
