I find that reasonable. While both games are officially called "Blake
Stone: Aliens of Gold" and "Blake Stone: Planet Strike", if you have a
look at the sale boxes, "Blake Stone" is emphazised for the first game
and "Planet Strike" for the latter.

I believe the game data for both games could go into
usr/share/games/blakestone (or even /usr/share/games/wolf3d ?) since
there a no file name conflicts expected, but I do not have a strong
opinion about that.

Not at the moment. But I have the version from GOG and it is as
follows:

Well, the games are not yet supported by ECWolf. But I am sure the
author will add the necessary data there once they are supported.

Yes, probably, I haven't checked yet. 

Package-wise this would mean "Conflicts: wolf3d-v12-data", right?
