There seems to be an earlier print of the book dated to 1975 from DEC (after David Ahl left the company, but it was reprinted regardless). While some games look to be the same, others are entirely missing from the version of the book, with the games not being findable online in a playable form. Games like Can-Am and Baseball are included here but not included in the 1978 version of the book.
Are games exclusive to this version going to be adapted one day?

Interesting! We are mostly focusing on the first book for now.. there's also "More Basic Computer Games".. is Can-Am in there? Maybe not?

No, it's not in that book.
The DEC version came first but its harder to find, and some games look to be the same
