Some english versions are listed as published by Electronic Arts, but I never saw a reference to EA on covers, magazines etc.

Unclear where the release info originated, I see nothing EA-related either. (Other than various Wikipedia-related pages, possibly referencing back here.)

Atari ST, C64 and Speccy - the 1988 UK versions are listed as published by EA, but there are no sources logged.

MSX & C64 (multi-language manuals) versions are published by UK based Summit Software, but this is not shown in the release list (yet).

Some of the UK and German mag reviews (see MobyRanks) mention EA. Sounds more like distribution, though.
