Back in 1982, Apollo offered to make a special Personalized Edition of this game - the difference being, your own initials appeared in place of your ship when it exploded.  According to the programmer, Ed Salvo, less than 10 were sold; the exact number is unknown.  This special offer was advertised in magazines and priced at $99.95, and the cartridge did not include a different/special label - it looked identical to the standard released version!

Continuing the tradition of the original special offer that was from Games by Apollo, Atari Compendium is proud to offer a special personalized / monogrammed version of Spacechase - customized just for you!  Up to three letters or numbers or combinations thereof; initials appear in white on the screen.   In this YouTube video below, the initials appear as ADK (for Arnie D. Katz) when your ship is hit:
