There are 5 editions I know of.
A mirage edition (black and white, & some extra scenes)
An Archie edition (some painted color)
An archie newstand edition (flat color)
A 35th anniversery reprint done by IDW with new cover and a bunch of extras
A reprint that came with some neca figures and a VHS tape

Mainly, I play these types of games because I love making builds, which I felt was too shallow in the 1st game.

I've been curious because lots of people talking about improvements...

Actually, ballots are separated and hand cancelled once it's close enough to election day.

Would it be surprising to hear that this has actually already been in practice for years in offices level 20 or higher?

It's the only time I passed on a free epic game.
