I recently purchased R/C Stunt Copter off of Half.com, $10 new. It's a decent little game, if very hard. However, I was looking back on there today to get the link for someone else when I noticed that there seems to be two versions -- Shiny and Midway.

I got the Shiny version. Looking back at old articles through Google, it seems Midway was going to publish the game originally. I haven't found any proof that they haven't, though, and you can find the Midway version on sale here (http://half.ebay.com/search/search.jsp?nthTime=1&product=all&keyword=stunt+copter). It's a bit more expensive than the Shiny game, at least on Half.

Anyone know the deal here?

Here's what I've uncovered: Definitely on the Shiny label in the US, Interplay in Europe, Sony in Japan. Midway's site does not mention themselves as publishers, and Shiny's site says it was self-published. As Sony published in Japan, and not Midway, I'd tend to think Shiny probably published it themselves.

If you come across anything different (it's possible that Midway helped with distribution?), let me know
