@repeatro the deal confuses me. because if a console exclusive was limited to the Saturn, why was there a PlayStation 1 version around that same time? Was it region specific maybe? I'm not doubting the information, just confused about the workings.

    It's going to be a pain to replace these caps though. I think I'll need to remove the filter coil to reach the 47uF caps properly. I may also need to remove the RF modulator, not only to reach the caps but in case there's leakage under it.The audio caps too are very close to the keyboard connector, even more than on the A1200 by the look of it, so I'll almost certainly remove that connector when I do those. (I can see why the ReAmiga 600 has a leaded cap option for these!)

    In general, the A600 capacitors look to be stable and not obviously leaking - except for these two.The 47uF caps on the 12V and -12V input lines have dull joints, just about visible in this photo (and contrasting with the other caps nearby). Dust is also accruing around it, which is often a tell-tale sign of leakage, though it's uncertain here as dust is also collected on the higher plastic ledge.Nonetheless, I think these need replacing and I've ordered a full set for the board.

    Focus on the 12V and -12V 47uF capacitors on the power input circuit of the Amiga 600. Dust is adhering to the board around it, and the solder joints, though not entirely clear in this shot, are dull.

    ...in the series to feature an open world called Bayview, which itself is based on the U.S. cities of San Francisco and Los Angeles. 🌆The game sold around 11 million copies and is widely regarded as one of the best games of the series due to the quality of the gameplay, the length, the endless customization, the interesting side-missions, the graphics, and the addition of open-world free roam. 🚗🧵2/2#RetroTrivia #retrogaming #gaming #games #videogames #cars #auto

    We discover a manhole (conveniently opened with the crowbar) that leads down to another level of basement or maybe sewers. It leads to a cave with an ominous slab. I bet this is an altar for sacrifices. Isn’t it?

    We are in a renovated cave with a three foot high round slab made from granite.

    It’s not “done” yet, I’m not happy with a few of the ports - the Amstrad version especially makes me sad. But I’m going to concentrate more on my new games Quantum Hop and Dundeck. I’m thinking for a bit of continuity the spaceman in QH is going to be Jurl Hogrind

    We did figure out how to stop the waxing machine, but we needed the Invisiclues to figure out that we need the wax to stop the maintenance man. We did temporarily disable him with the stone we acquired during the nightmare... But it did not work permanently. We will keep that in mind!

The maintenance Man, growling foul-sounding imprecations descends from the floor waxer and heads towards you.
