This version has the lurid Trampier artwork and goes from the lizard logo, to the wizard (Morley) logo, and finishes with the wizard face logo (the third printing). The printing is indicated at the bottom of the title page on the 2nd and 3rd printing....Other than the logo and product listing inside the back cover, I don't know of any real differences in the earlier sets, other than the very first printing did not have a back cover printed on the box but it was a seperate sheet that fit under the shrinkwrap. The latter is often missing.
Thunderdave wrote in Research - Gamma World 1E printing differences:And maybe a general follow-up question,It's pretty straightforward to see how Metamorphosis Alpha led into GW, but TSR was printing 2E Gamma World supplements and about to release 3E when it came out with Star Frontiers.The games are a bit different (aimed at a different demographic I suppose), but definitely in a similar genre... by 3E Gamma World and SF seem to have converged. Any thoughts what TSR was thinking?
