This is the one screen version of the game.&lt;br&gt;<br /> It doesn&#039;t start and displays only a plain black screen.&lt;br&gt;<br /> By passing my hand on a specific area of the board I could get it to boot on the title screen with missing elements but the game was stuck:<br /> <br /> [[File:ApocExz 1.JPG]]&lt;br&gt;<br /> <br /> This is typical of a floating line somewhere. With my logic probe I found one of the address lines was cut (not visible, probably under an IC). I patched it with a piece of kynar wire but saw no improvement. The RAM @C14 is dead, I put a second hand one in place (I was running out of 6116 type wide at the time) and the game started but sound was absent:<br /> <br /> [[File:ApocExz 2.JPG]]&lt;br&gt;<br /> <br /> I found another broken trace on one of the data lines of the audio RAM. I fixed it with another piece of wire and sound now works perfectly.<br /> <br /> [[File:ApocExz 3.JPG]]&lt;br&gt;<br /> <br /> Game fixed.<br /> <br /> [[Category:Repair Logs]]</div>
