Here are the most common/new/historical version differentiations one is likely to encounter while voting. This list will continue changing slightly over time, so make sure to check back on it once in a while. Please understand that this is (and has always been) and inexact science, and I believe finding a middle ground is greatly preferable to going too far in either direction. This guide does not include any identical or near-identical releases of the same game under different titles, which are always counted as one.
