sega sc-3000 compatibility issues

[masschamber]

So some games seem not to work on the sc 3000,

can anyone confirm this with me.

I have both an sg 1000 and an sc 3000 and the following games run without issue on the sg 1000 but won't boot on the sc 3000

q bert, guzzler, and a bootleg I have of hyper sports (or maybe olypmic I forget but it is the track and field one)

Not sure. Guzzler and Q*bert were games for the Othello Multivision, which of course is a licensed SG-1000 clone. Sega Retro writes that the Multivision was compatible with Sega's SK-1100 add-on to get keyboard functionality like on the SC-3000, but perhaps the games somehow interfer with the keyboard circuitry on the 3000? However Sega Retro makes no particular mention on the pages for respective game whether they would not be working on the 3000.
