Most "ECS" game incompatibility I experienced were due to kickstart 2.04.

Very few A500's came with 1M CHIP.

I dunno if that is true. My "Flight of Fantasy" pack came set for 1M chip. Annoying when playing Lionheart

Not quite sure what that means..  :confused: I know what you mean..  I was considering an A500 to be different from an A500+.
Flight of Fantasy A500's were NOT A500+. They were half ECS A500's (ECS Agnus but regular Denise) and mine with a 512Kbyte trapdoor RAM was configured for 1Mbyte of Chip RAM.

So, I wonder if those were some of the ones that were talked about where it was a 500+ MB in an A500 case?
Nope sorry. This was April 1990, over a year before the chipset for the A500+ was even invented. Months before the A3000 was launched.

I'm not sure there wasn't even an ECS denise at the time. Just this 1Mbyte Agnus.
