Re: +3 repair - partial success... Now what???
Sounds a bit like the fun and games I had with mine, though even worse. I only had to replace one of the ram chips as it would load most but not all games and crash at random times. Removing the said chip took a trace up so had to bodge wire it back in place. I then decided to replace all the remain...

Re: Best 3d/vector games?
Starion was a favourite, Starstrike 2 was amazing, and its a bit tenuous a suggestion, but i always really liked Time Gate too. More polygons, less shading. I would also suggest Dark Star / Forbidden planet in the tenuous list as they used straight lines for the ships , but boy did it move fast and...

Re: Best 3d/vector games?
'Starstrike II' for me. That was the very first time we got filled in 3D graphics. I didn't care that it was pretty slow, that gave me a chance to actually shoot things. Astounding to see back then.

Re: Plus 3 audio fixes.. which one?
I bought the Stereo mod circuit a few weeks ago and fitted it, sounds better than the original Resistor version I did, if you are happy with soldering (not very hard though to do with flux and a steady hand ) https://media.discordapp.net/attachments/412229048136237081/827604205517799444/20210402_174...
