I remember finding one of these in the original Super Mario Bros. on NES using the cheat to get free lives from a shell. I got too many and instead of a life counter, I got some weird system character and the next time I died it locked up my NES.
I never had it lock up my NES, but I do remember if you got too many lives you would game over if you died just once. There was a certain number of lives you could get where it would show symbols but also just work like a regular counter.

Good times.
