Uploading Multiple Versions of the Same Game?

The version of The Logical Journey of the Zoombinis on this site is V1.0, though it isn't labeled such on the site. I have V1.1, which is actually somewhat different from V1.0 (the most noticeable difference is the addition of a practice mode, but other differences are listed on the wikipedia article for the game). They are different, and I think that V1.1 might be a little easier to run with an emulator than V1.0 (I can't get V1.0 to run well at all).

So my question is: where on the site should I upload this? My instinct tells me to upload it as a game separate from the V1.0 copy, but I just want to make sure.

I think adding it to the existing page is tidier. Just label the original upload as 1.0 and yours as 1.1. You can add a note explaining the differences and add an extra screenshot or two of your version.

Absolutely, although it will introduce a few caveats for things like screenshots, patches and manuals, compatability and perhaps "registration information". Each of these would clearly have to be associated with the respective versions to which they apply.

I uploaded the game and made some additions to the page, but I think it lacks something(s ). Any input would be appreciated. Also, it looks like the download isn't available due to bandwidth costs, despite the file being only 65.31MB. Don't know what to do about that.

What to do? Nothing. Currently, you'll notice that every file bigger than 40 MB isn't available due to bandwidth costs.

Or, uploading to an external server (Sendspace, ...), but only additionally.

Only additionally? What does that mean, exactly?

Please upload to MacGarden's internal server in first place,
and if you want to, upload to an external server, too.
