Elite Systems
Hello. Elite Systems was involved in the production of this Mega Drive conversion. They were the ones which licensed its creation from Data East, like they did with all the other home versions of this game except the SNES version (which they still published in Europe, given their rights), and also the ones who managed and tasked the development of this conversion to Eden Entertainment Software. I suppose this was the reason why Elite was listed as developer together with Eden, but a recent edit has left them out. I think they should still be referenced somehow, either as developer or as publisher (because Sega Retro doesn't have a in between role for producing companies, like this case). Eden most likely would have published the game at least in Europe, even though there were widespread indications in the media press of back then that they sold the European publishing rights to Codemasters, still not being any European release of the game because of that. Nevertheless, Elite was definitely behind this, the copyright screen of the game makes it clear and there's also the fact that all versions of the game are using the European cover art that Elite themselves designed for the game and their European releases, so yeah, they still must be included somehow, either as developer (which may be the most accurate indication to their producer role) or publisher. Another good option may be as licensor, together with Data East. (Wesker (talk) 10:39, 16 October 2022 (EDT))
