Aliens publisher error?

Hello,

"Aliens" shows as published by Mr. Micro, but is clearly labeled Electric Dreams. Could not find any reference to Mr. Micro. Is there a mistake?

Thank you.

I suspect Mr Micro did the MSX port. But interestingly, the UXK product code suggests an Activision release... How are all these companies related? :)

According to Wikipedia, ED was a big UK Spectrum company that published Activision games outside USA! Mystery solved? :-)

I guess it´s safe to say game was released in USA by Activision and in UK by ED.

Also, again making a parallel with Spectrum (in UK I really thing that this is very useful since in UK Spectrum was huge and MSX was always a "plan B"), on Spectrum game was released by Electric Dreams.

But most Activision games were released under the "Activision" name in Europe, with these UXK product codes...
