And it was many more than just Pole Position. There were *lots* of 80's video games,
as well as pinball machines that suffer from the same fate. I've spent more hours
repairing battery damaged boards than I care to think about.
I've got a dead Commodore Colt (PC-III) that was working when it came
to me (and was used to burn many GG2 Bus+ GALs) then the battery
leaked and took out the traces nearby. I moved the burner to a Compaq
286/SLT laptop (its timing is such that it does not work with anything
as "new" as fast as a 25MHz 386), but the Colt is still on the repair
pile.
