Battleships and Battleship…

I saw that Battleships from Elite and Battleship from Epyx Are in the Same entry. That´s wrong.
These are two different games and must be cut in two entries.

Battleship by Epyx is the US release and Battleships by Elite (Retail) is the Euro / Rest of World release. Encore and ECP are Budget releases.

OK. I don´t have the Epyx Game but the Screenshots on the Boxes look not very similar?

The Epyx and Elite releases are the same game with some intro differences:
Epyx: NTSC, Epyx Logo screen. Music starts at beginning of Epyx logo screen. Voice sample "Player 1" at game start. Menu has 1 more option.
Elite: Elite Logo screen. Music starts later at game screen. No voice sample.
The Elite/Encore Amiga release covers have C64 / Spectrum screenshots.

Attached are running screenshots from the NTSC Epyx release of Battleship and below the Elite PAL Euro World release.
