First useful glitch I ever found in a game was Combat for the Atari 2600. If you were using the wireless controllers in tank mode, switching the controller off would either result in driving in a circle and firing repeatedly, or moving straight ahead at double the normal speed.
That's an interesting one. I'm not overly familiar with the Atari's control scheme, but do you know what was going on "behind the scenes" to cause it? Was it a case of all the buttons reading as pressed simultaneously, or something else?

In EarthBound, I managed to prove that it was possible to access the debug menu with the "check area" glitch in the (U) version. Sadly, I had to use a patched ROM that made the debug menu easier to use and get to just so I could go to Threed early. I haven't checked to see if it's possible in an unpatched ROM. I also discovered weird glitches and tricks in LEGO Star Wars II: The Original Trilogy for the Game Boy Advance. Here's an Imgur gallery I made.

Those behaviors do result from input in opposing directions. Take a gander at this page and the video embedded in it: http://www.ataricompendium.com/game_library/easter_eggs/vcs/26combat.html

Micro-Machine 1 & 2 - Twin Turbo : play on Micro-Machine 1 and you can finish a race in the last lap even if you go out of the circuit ( you'll win the race and after the game will replace you at your last position in the circuit ) Link to video
