and Jeff Blakeney - Dean of the Apple II University in A2Pro on Delphi
replied:

"I'm pretty sure it is.  Back then SoftDisk was licensing older 8 bit
games from other companies for inclusion on SoftDisk.  I can
personally think of The Missing Ring, Space Ark, Nightmare Gallery and
Tubeway as examples just off the top of my head.  Each of those games
was commercially available from another company prior to SoftDisk
publishing them on their disks."

And to this - I reply:  I'm certainly not going to disput the wisdom and
knowledge of 'The Dean of the Apple II University in A2Pro on Delphi'.  All I
said was - that I questioned the differences of the titles; 
'Magic Ring'  <-> 'The Missing Ring'.  If your pretty sure they are the same
game, perhaps they might be :)  We shall see!
