:Strike that thought. The US-published versions were not just repackaged MirrorSoft versions, and the US Amiga and Atari ST versions (along with the Apple II and Mac versions) were quite different, being essentially ports of the Spectrum HoloByte DOS version that used the larger color pallets to enhance the graphics. If anything, I think those versions need to be added to the Spectrum HoloByte article, while the MirrorSoft versions stay together (and the BPS versions stay together, save for the Famicom version), ''except'' the Commodore 64 version, which is a truly unique version and should be its own article.

Split back into pages
I understand many of these versions are similar, but as they are expanded, should they maybe have their own pages, with a link here and maybe a line or two about them? --simonlc (talk) 21:39, 16 December 2018 (PST)
