So what was the difference between the two lost luggage versions?

I should dump my version of Saboteur, it's a earlier version with some
differences (mainly the progression of boards).  I also have an early
version of Reebok that's way different but that's a 5200 thing...

Off the top of my head... Lost Luggage (Green label vs Blue Label), Missile
Command (with and w/o Rob Fulop's initials).

Their are apparently some rom differences in some of the Activsion games..
like
Space Shuttle , Decathalon, Robot Tank. These are more due to bankswitch
schemes. I am sure Eckhard can comment more about these.

BTW: I have 3 revisions of Asteroids. The very 1st one has a bug as
described
previously, but also has shots that have a shorter range. Then there is the
fixed version and the title screen version.

Tonight, I will be dumping prototye of Millipede. I am told that it is a
unreleased version that Dave Staguas made to fix (add) a couple of things
after
Atari relesead it. Stay tuned....
