I noticed a very different overlay appear online in a recent auction. My Looping just has a set of instructions in the middle and looks like the one in the flyer. This one has graphic images of how the game plays, however. Anyone know anything about this more graphical version?

I know there were two made 'cause I owned both like 25 years ago. One was plainer and did not have the game graphics on it and that's why I switched it out with one like you have pictured. Seems like they may have changed the programming on the game to so that when you move the joystick up, the plane travels up vs. the opposite, like you would do when flying an aircraft. ( or like in Zaxxon) I think they did this since new players were instantly crashing their man too soon and didn't like the game. (which is exactly what happed to me in 1982 when I played one at the movie theater in the mall as a kid)
