My google fu is weak, and all searches are leading me either to GOG store pages or to abandonware sites for game downloads, so I come here for answers.

Years ago I purchesed the ADnD Masterpiece Collection, which contains:
Dark Sun: Shattered Lands and Wake of the Ravager
Ravenloft: Strahd's Possession and Stone Prophet
Menzoberranzan
and Al-Qadim: The Genie's Curse

What I'm wondering is this: Are the versions of he games included on these disks the most up to date versions? (IE, would they be the same as the ones for sale here?)

For example Strahd's Possession says its ver 1.2a on the title screen. If need be I can try and dig up version numbers for the rest in a bit (still in the process of installing them in Dosbox).

Edit: Gah, forgot one important thing.
If any of these games are not up to date, where on Earth could I even find patches for them?

Well if you legally own the game, you can try Abandonia for patches. Or maybe fan sites, if Abandonia has removed them for licensing reasons.

Well back in the day I got all my patches from The Patches Scrolls.

All of D&D games are up to date as far as I know, especially the Ravenloft games, but if you are 100% sure a game is missing an update then do let us know :)

Read his post again Judas. He's talking about a retail (presumably) version, not the GOG version, unless GOG has suddenly started selling physical disks ;-)

I blame the loud fireworks directly under my window as the cause of my lack of reading comprehension :P

Yeah, they've mostly tapered off here. There's only the odd dad in the distance who's bought WAY too many fireworks, so he's still going.

Guess he's getting them while he can before someone decides to ban them one day :D

Oh, they'll be illegal here again in about 23 hours, until next Christmas. As a private person, you're only allowed to set off fireworks here from December 24th to January 1st, both days inclusive.

Yeah, I'm talking about a retail disk version, bought back in the day at Comp USA.
And this site having the most up to date versions is why I decided to just ask here.

So thanks to that Patches Scrolls site that Smannesman posted it appears they were all up to date except for Stone Prophet, which was ver 1.0 on disk, and has a 1.1 patch available.

I honestly can't tell with Ravager, since I can't seem to find anywhere in the game where it shows a version number. Found some link to some posts preserved from when the collection was new that suggests it contains the Ver 1.1 of ravager, so I'm just going to assume thats the version I have.

So what I have now is
Darksun 1.10
Ravager 1.1
Strahd 1.2a
Prophet 1.1 after patching
Genie 1.1
Menzo: 1.10

If anyone that has the GOG versions wouldn't mind checking what numbers they are that would be wonderful.
