Had that happen to mine, it was pretty gnarly. Took the transistor next to the cap with it to the point the pads are gone. Decided to resolve it with the RetroSix battery pack and power board.

Looks like this game actually needs a speed patch of some kind!

Hmm... It sounds like it's missing voices somehow. MT-32 fighting was my first guess but you're right, it's got that FM twang going.

Definitely in MT-32 mode. I have one of those Dolch models, any thoughts on mods to make this a bit more useful as a DOS gaming rig?
