  1. The only difference in pinout is that pin 22 is "do not connect" on AY-3-8600. I'll try to get an 8610 to decap for comparison.

  2. Yes, thank you. Here one of the consoles that show this "strange" behaviour: https://retroordenadoresorty.blogspot.com/2023/10/consola-pong-maree-video-pinball-10.html
    Look also the comments of the blog page.

  3. That ad is strong evidence that the shooting games were already in 8600. Maybe there was a small design error that needed to be corrected, or maybe marketing just wanted another product. We'll know if it's the former if there is a difference on the 8610 die.
