So, I'm the sort of nerd that likes to know what version of what game I'm running 😎 . I know for example commander keen 4 comes in 4 flaviours, v1.0, v1.1, v1.2, and v1.4; and there's a handy wiki page to keep me informed of this http://www.shikadi.net/keenwiki/Keen_4_Versions.
With old games, documentation is often either regarded as an afterthought, or greeted with downright laughter.
So for example, my favourite old game - Halloween Harry, I know comes in the 3 versions as detailed on the ID software/3d realms site, but there also exists more versions they haven't mentioned such as the full registered version of HH shown here: http://www.thefloppydisk.com/old/games/hallow … harry_manaccom/
So my question(s) is: If you're the sort of retronerd who also likes to know this sort of stuff, where do you look it up? I also like to own copies of the original floppy install media and even better if I can get images of the disk labels/box/instructions too; so where do you get those? Should there be a sticky/google document/something else linked here that details this?
