Original Windows release with Direct3D acceleration

Windows PC

The Windows release is the highest-fidelity base version because it supports Direct3D hardware acceleration and PC display/audio features, while the PS4/PS5 version is an enhanced conversion of the PlayStation release.

Fidelity vs completeness conflict

The PS4/PS5 classic is the current official console version with emulator conveniences, but the Windows release remains the higher-fidelity base version because of the PC/Direct3D feature path.

Arcade Archives

The official Arcade Archives release centers the 1981 Namco arcade game with modern access and capture, while original arcade hardware/MAME remains useful for input/timing comparison.

Arcade Archives GALAXIAN

Nintendo Switch / PlayStation 4

Galaxian is an arcade fixed shooter, and Hamster's Arcade Archives release is the cleanest current official route for the arcade version. Original cabinet/PCB remains the highest historical-fidelity route, while home ports are platform-history comparisons.

Fidelity vs completeness conflict

Arcade Archives is the current official route, while original cabinet/PCB is the top historical-fidelity route.

Game Boy

Android / iOS

Free Fire is a mobile-only online battle royale on Android and iOS. Garena presents Free Fire MAX as the premium visual route with Ultra HD-style presentation and Firelink compatibility with Free Fire players, so MAX is the fidelity route when supported.

Windows 10 (retired live service)

Gears Pop! released on iOS, Android, and Windows 10. The service has a retirement/refund path, and it shut down on April 26, 2021. Windows 10 is the best archival/capture target, but the game is not currently playable through normal official service access.

Windows 10 is the archival fidelity target, but the live service is shut down, so completeness is limited to preserved materials rather than normal play.

GeoGuessr is a live geography game whose official site remains the main account, mode, and content route. Steam and mobile versions are useful access routes, but the web service is the authority for the long-running game.

Ghost of Tsushima: Director's Cut PC release, max settings

Windows

The 2020 PS4 original is a separate release from the Director's Cut, which is on PS4, PS5, and Windows. The PC release includes the full game, Iki Island expansion, and Legends mode while adding unlocked frame rates, ultrawide support, modern upscalers, and configurable input, making it the highest-fidelity complete version for capture.

Fidelity vs completeness conflict

Windows Director's Cut is the most complete/highest-ceiling route overall, but PS5 has console-specific presentation perks including Japanese lip-sync, 3D audio, haptics, adaptive triggers, and fast loading. This is a presentation tradeoff, not missing playable content from the PC primary.

Definitive edition

Primary full run

Owned PC release with compatibility fixes

Windows PC

The Windows version is a distinct first-person tactical squad route with larger levels and more granular squad command than the console versions. It is not normally sold on current PC storefronts, so archive capture depends on an owned disc or prior digital license.

Fidelity vs completeness conflict

The Windows and Xbox 360 versions are materially different; archive the PC tactical route and label any Xbox 360 backward-compatible run separately.

Definitive edition

Current Steam/Ubisoft Connect PC release with DLC state documented

Windows PC

Wildlands is a large open-world Ghost Recon entry, and PC is the best capture/settings route for solo or co-op play. Ubisoft Connect/account state, online co-op, Ghost War, DLC, and live-service remnants must be recorded because the game spans offline-ish solo and service-connected features.

Solo campaign, co-op, PvP, Ubisoft Connect, and DLC state can differ at capture time.

Go Vacation released for Wii in 2011 as a spin-off/third entry in the We Ski line, then was ported to Nintendo Switch in 2018 with new features such as animal photography and reward boxes.

Super Turbo Championship Edition

Windows PC

The Windows PC Super Turbo Championship Edition is the best main-play route because it is the definitive expanded version of the original game, adding new levels, powers, challenges, refinements, and the original DLC content while retaining PC capture/settings flexibility. The only sourced completeness caveat is the later Frenemies Character Pack on PlayStation/Xbox storefronts, so use PS4 as a small secondary cleanup route if Sami wants those playable-character variants and trophies.

Fidelity vs completeness conflict

Windows PC is the best main STCE route, but the sourced Frenemies Character Pack is on PlayStation/Xbox storefronts; use PS4 as a small secondary cleanup route.

Windows PC

The Windows PC complete bundle is the best route because it includes the base game, Three Enemigos Character Pack, The Proving Grounds challenge-level DLC, and the soundtrack while preserving PC capture/settings flexibility.

PC retail release with compatible guitar controller

Windows PC

For the base game, the PC release is the cleanest high-resolution capture route. The archive still needs to document controller hardware, unavailable/delisted online or DLC context, and console-specific issues such as the original Wii mono-audio disc problem.

Fidelity vs completeness conflict

PC is the best base-game capture route, but console DLC/online history and Wii audio corrections should be documented separately when relevant.

For base-game capture, PC provides the highest-resolution route, but controller/drum/mic compatibility and old DLC/service state require careful documentation; community GHWT: Definitive Edition can be useful but should be labeled as a mod route.
