Recent stuff I got (all in one image to save space):

* Spear of Destiny Super CD Pack - This copy had two Game Creator pamphlets with it for some reason. The topmost manual came with this box. The manual underneath that one is an extra copy I got that was included with a mail-ordered cheat card from FormGen, and possibly came from a floppy version. The ink on the cover of the topmost (Super CD) manual is lighter than the other manual (the blues are paler/less intense, for example), despite their contents being the same. Perhaps the difference is simply a printing variation.
I learned from a thread on the DieHard Wolfers forum that the Super CD version of Mission 3 has some minor differences from the Xplosiv release of Wolf3D I also have. For example, there are some different textures on the final map; the Activision/Xplosiv version uses DOOM (placeholder?) textures.
* Quake and The Ultimate DOOM Compilation - Oversized GT Interactive big box. The DOOM logo and Cyberdemon are embossed, and the Quake logo and game screenshots are gloss-printed. Some releases of this compilation came with a US jewel case version of Malice sealed under the shrink wrap (though Malice can also be purchased separately).
* Hexen II and Hexen II Mission Pack: Portal of Prævus - Both boxes are embossed. One of the more confusing games I've played; I had to check an online walkthrough more than once to figure out some of the puzzles. I still like it, though.
* Heretic II - Apparently, only the US version of this game's box is embossed, so I chose that one instead of the Australian version. The enhancement pack patch allows quick switching between third-person and pseudo first-person views, which is a nice feature to have.
