Games much improved in later versions - an IFDB Poll

Most IF works are only available in ‘version 1’, but some are released in updated versions. And a few see a large amount of bug fixing, rewriting and polish. This is a poll for highlighting these games, games that the authors have taken time and care to greatly improve in later releases, either through major changes to the plot or the puzzles, or just through a lot of bug fixes and overall polish.
