Different Character names on Escape from the Planet of Robot Monster Marquees...Help!

I was talking with Rich over at This Old Game! And I sent him my NOS escape from the planet of robot monsters dedicated marquee and we noticed that there are different character names on the marquee for the blonde haired character -- One version says LINK and the other says DUKE.....Can you guys check and see what yours says and any background on this...
 
Funny thing...on my original faded one it's Duke, but on my NOS one it says Link....the CPO and in-game says Duke also....

I believe most standards for revisions are pre-release are numbered, then production are lettered. I know that is a general rule of thumb though....so will vary.

I would say Rev A "Duke" version was the production model. The other is pretty cool too, should frame that art!

Just my opinion though :)

I wonder if Nintendo complained about "Link" (I bet that's why!)... or did that version come after "Duke"? I would assume "Duke" might have come second.
 
Did the game come out when Duke Nukem was big? Dude looks a little like Duke.... so maybe they had to change it to Link due to that property?
 
Huh. Yeah my faded production marquee is rev A and says Duke; my NOS is rev 1 and says Link.

Was probably Link during pre and changed to Duke for production. I'm still going to use it unless a good repro is done (repro might last longer, these fade SO bad).

Wonder where these rev 1s came from?
