I was just about to buy tomb raider (1996) on amazon when I clicked the Wikipedia link
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tomb_Ra...996_video_game) and noticed it had a some sort of special edition I couldn't find it collectors edition.
I noticed this "shortly after the release of Tomb Raider II, Tomb Raider was re-released for Windows and released for the first time for Macintosh. This release, titled Tomb Raider Gold - The Shadow Of The Cat in North America, and Tomb Raider: Unfinished Business elsewhere, featured the regular game as well as two new expert chapters"
but my question would this one count as a special edition? since it includes demos?
"The Greatest Hits edition of the PlayStation version had added demos and videos of other Eidos games, although the content changed several times over the course of additional re-pressings of the game. The first version contained demos for Tomb Raider II and either one of Fighting Force or Ninja: Shadow of Darkness. The next print contained Legacy of Kain: Soul Reaver, Tomb Raider III, and Gex 3: Deep Cover Gecko playable demos with videos of Fear Effect and Fighting Force 2. A third edition included no playable demos, but rather a trailer for the Chicken Run video game and a viewable preview of the (at the time) upcoming PlayStation 2 launch title TimeSplitters"

If the release is the ONLY version available for a given platform in a given region then it doesn't matter what they call it or what content it includes, it's not relevant for the database. It IS the standard edition at that point.
As for your your greatest hits demos and videos, I wouldn't count that either... I consider demos to be advertisement content, which isn't considered relevant when adding games to the database.
