I would like to add an old text adventure to the database called "The Institute". Before I start, however, I have something I would like cleared up.

The game was originally released in 1981 as a text-only adventure, then it was re-released in 1983 with graphics. The game is essentially the same, with the exception of the pictures in the latter version. Should I treat these as two separate entries, or should I add this as one title and just mention the different versions in the description?

If the graphics don't play a role in the gameplay other than just something to look at, then it would be the same entry based on a recent discussion on the matter.

And you should add the two release info, with the comments reading "text only version" and "graphic version" or something like that.
