New World Order: a source-led starting point
A surviving catalogue points back to this historical route. What its developer, publisher and homepage fields establish—and what they leave open.
The complete collection
Papers
A release date is sometimes several different dates
Three invented documents separate a forecast, regional shipping and a reviewed build. A worked method for a timeline that keeps its gaps.
The manual was part of the interface
Printed instructions belong to a game’s interface, but intended behaviour and a particular build’s behaviour are different evidence.
Waiting can be a game mechanic, or just waiting
An invented door encounter separates elapsed time from the choices and information available during a pause.
What a screenshot can and cannot document
A still preserves visible arrangement. Timing, response and the sequence before it need a different account.
Preserve the context before rearranging the files
Keep source, original name and context together before reorganising a collection. A checksum is a comparison, not a certificate of authenticity.
