EarthWorld (International Version)This is the PAL version of EarthWorld that was released
overseas. Since the contest was long over Atari didn't
bother supplying the comic book with this version (and they
probably didn't want to translate it). Since the clues
from the original version wouldn't make sense without the comic
book, Atari made a new special version instead which didn't
depend on the comic book. In this version the solution is
different and the clues are simply numbered 1 through 11 (like
Fireworld) instead of referencing a specific panel of the comic
book. For years it was assumed that the PAL version was the same as
the special version Atari made for the contest since that
version also did not rely on the comic book, but it appears that
this is not the case. Why Atari decided to make two
special versions is unknown, but it's possible that they thought
that the contest version was too hard or easy and went with a
new version instead?
