In Double Dragon II: The Revenge for the NES, there's an odd glitch you can exploit to earn lots and lots of lives. Since the amount of lives you earn varies depending on numerous factors, it's hard to say whether the trick will be useful every time, and I'm not sure if it's possible to earn infinite lives, but after performing this glitch a few times, I was able to gain a lives value that well exceeded 70.

To perform the glitch, play Double Dragon II generally well enough to reach the Steam Train thing at the end of Mission 5. Now, what you'll need to do is die in such a way that Billy Lee lands on the front tread platform of the train as he loses his last life. In other words, make sure you have 0 lives left and just enough energy that the next instance of damage will kill you. It's easiest to have the top steam pipe KO you as the train is moving backwards so that you die and land on the front moving platform.

If you perform the trick correctly, Billy will begin to fall off the moving platform multiple times, but will land back on the platform each time. Depending on the timing of the trick, the game will set your lives total to some value that is represented by an unintelligible character. In this example, my lives total looked like a green square with an apostrophe.

In certain cases, I was able to earn more than seventy lives. In other cases my lives value was set to 0, 1, or 2. I'm not quite sure how this trick works, so it might be considered a lives underflow glitch if you do it right, but either way it's kinda cool and fun to try.
