I have two discs ripped and ready to upload, but I want to find out what to call the editions first. These are both $10 jewel-case-only releases.

Here's pictures of the front and back:

I couldn't say if SimCity is any different from the original retail release, but Slam Tilt is by a totally different publish from the original, complete with their own custom installer software. I imagine it could be labeled (Expert Software) or something for the edition, but I don't really know what to call SimCity.

Any thoughts on this?

^^ Pinball
I would say: "Expert Software" as adition and <volume serial> as version in dat version field !

Just name SimCity original edition..

Isn't SimCity a "special Edition" (?)

I can not recognize the whole package includes,
but there is printed SPECIAL EDITION includes: SimCity 2000, ..., ...

I think the title should be 'SimCity 2000 Special Edition' with original edition, because it's clearly a different game and it's not just the packaging.. Wikipedia etc. also give it that name.

Agree...


EDIT:

lol, if i look at the back cover it clearly says: "SimCity 2000: Special Edition"

includes:
- SimCity 2000
- SimCity 2000: Urban Renewal Kit
- SimCity 2000 Scenarios Volume 1: Great Disasters

Well, then it's with the ':' included

So I should use:

Slam Tilt (Expert Software)
SimCity 2000: Special Edition (Original)

And should I really use the volume serial for the pinball version? The readme on the disc clearly states the software version is 1.0.

For the record, I can't find a version for the SimCity anywhere. And examining the game and installer shows no indication of anything obviously different about the disc from earlier releases, unlike the pinball game. It does contain contain a PDF manual; the manual is clearly a digitized version of a printed manual, so it's possible an earlier release in a real box may have had an actual, printed manual rather then putting it on the disc.

I think at least the (Original) tag is ommited until a different version is dumped.  Not sure about the (Expert Software) one though since it may seem weird to not have that tag, implying it's the original.  Kind of like the many (v1.1) I've seen even when there aren't any (v1.0) dumped yet.

And the SimCity 2000 one, the picture you showed, says "Special Edition" in it and seems like it includes a few extras.
This is the original SimCity 2000 release
You may already know this of course.

Of course. When I talk about earlier releases, I'm talking about releases of the special edition. As you can see by this image, the special edition was earlier sold as a full boxed game.
