What was it with Special Editions with some 2600 games? There's no evidence to suggest they were actually different. Or is there?
I mentioned it in the blog post, "...is a "Special Edition" only because it was one of the early games that used a 4K ROM chip versus the usual 2K." I could be wrong, but I believe that all of the games marked "Special Edition" were marked as such simply because they were 4K games instead of what was the norm for them initially, which was 2K. I only think a few games ever received "Special Edition", which makes sense from a marketing standpoint, i.e., it would be far too confusing for people.
