I put NVRAM into Monopoly about 18 months ago. Last night my son's 67 million #1 score got corrupted into 269,000. Anyone else experience corruption or loss of settings?

It is anypin NVRAM. Any one know exactly what type of memory this is and what its characteristics are?

Wonder how much writing is going on to this memory and what effect that has...this pin is lightly used though.

The chip says Ramtron, looking at the spec sheet this thing is very robust....who knows, could be a software bug!

It is used at least weekly. The behaviour with the corrupt score also shows how the code handles it. Each higher score now comes ahead of it in the top score list but the artificially low score doesn't get kicked out, just pushed down along with the scores originally behind it. As a programmer I find that interesting!
