Captain Fantastic and the Brown Dirt Cowboy
Bally, 1977Why is Capt. Fantastic listed as Captain Fantastic and the Brown Dirt Cowboy? I thought that was the home model, and the commercial game was just Capt. Fantastic. Is that not the case? I don't see anywhere on the game where The Brown Dirt Cowboy is mentioned, like it is on the home version.
The commercial model is: Capt. Fantastic and the Brown Dirt Cowboy
The home model is: Captain Fantastic and the Brown Dirt Cowboy
You're right--on the commercial model, the phrase doesn't appear (edit: It actually does, but it's hard to spot--see the posts below). However, it does appear on the flier:

But on the other hand, the manual just has "Capt. Fantastic" without the cowboy phrase.
They're both called that: http://www.ipdb.org/showpic.pl?id=438&picno=65110&zoom=1
And of course, was the title to his album, that had the hit song "Someone Save My Life Tonight".
The home model backglass, essentially using the album cover artwork.

I was just going to post this. I've never seen the Brown Dirt Cowboy reference on the back glass, but saw it in the flyer just now.

Something else I learned. While I do like many of Elton John's songs, my collection is limited to "Best of" compilations. I didn't know this was an EJ album, and didn't know the home version used the cover of the album as the backglass art.
Probably his best album from start to finish and best concept album.
