Yes. I know for sure!

Absolutely!

And French, Spanish, Italian, Norsk, whatever the game was released in...

We would prefer to release the English language versions first (unless obviously the title was not available in English), because it has a much wider audience.

Other language versions would follow (if available).

For example, our WindowsKiller friend here has done some fine scans for some German games, and as soon as we get some time, we will package them up for release.

The good news though, is that (AFAIK) we will probably not wait for scans of other languages box/manuals before releasing those versions of the actual games. But scans of boxes/manuals are obviously rather nice, so if people want to do them, we would be really greatful getting them into releases too!

One thing to note though, is that many of the actual games are exactly the same in (for example) Germany. The same disk was released in the UK and elsewhere, it may be a multi-language game, or it might just be in English. In this instance, a release might just point to the English parent set if the game is the same.

Of course, if anybody has any suggestions on this (it is not set in stone, just current policy) then just make one and it will certainly be considered. You may have a better idea which is something that we have not though of.
