In addition:

Riddle Wired was a serialized release with new sets of questions every iteration. This video shows a version from June; the one we have is for August. Both say "vol.1" but it seems like volumes were released weekly? (Sega Retro still needs to be updated.)

Sega Ages 2500 Phantasy Star Complete Collection for PS2 comes with an alternate ROM for Nei's Adventure for some reason.

Very interesting, I'll add those too. I've just found a recent post with what seems to be a chronological list of all Game Toshokan releases (including something called "Formula Club" which will have to be investigated some day): https://mevius.5ch.net/test/read.cgi/gsaloon/1613901228/102-n/?v=pc

Ah, I see they even mentioned some changes being made in their official website: https://ages.sega.jp/vol32/ps2text.html

(Since this work is a reproduction of the original version, some specifications are different from the ported version included in "Game no Kanzume" Vol.1 and Vol.2 for Mega CD)

I'll include it in the list of missing dumps for now.

Where are the years from? Are the years for the Game no Kanzume rips just the years that the Game no Kanzume collections themselves were released?

Sega's website: https://www.sega.jp/history/hard/megadrive/software.html

Yes, the years of those specific versions.

BTW “Kandume” isn’t wrong per se, it’s just using Nihon-shiki romaji (intended to be relatively unambiguous) rather than the modified Hepburn romaji we tend to prefer in MAME.
