Talk:Aladdin Deck Enhancer

Untitled

I think I can make this article a bit clearer, but I need to understand some things first. I understood the gist of the article to be that a proposed new version of the Nintendo Entertainment System would actually contain the games inside of the system, and that the cartridges would merely unlock what was stored inside. Is this the case? --Misfit 12:30 27 Jun 2003 (UTC)

No you misunderstand a bit. It was a non-licensed product made by other company. Basically, many cartridges contained some of the same parts aside from the game program itself. This product contained those parts, at least the ones used by this company. So basically instead of paying for certain chips etc. every time you buy a game, you'd pay for them this once, and buy other cartridges that contained nothing but the software code, allowing game titles to have lower prices. It was a cartridge that took cartridges. As the article says, all of these games were released as cartridges that work in a regular Nintendo console without the add-on. It wasn't very popular because on top of non-licensed games being carried by very few retailers, this company's games weren't well known or reviewed, so no one bought an add on just to buy the handful of games by them a little cheaper each. Several other companies either released or planned to release similar products for their own lines of non-licensed games. But I ramble - to answer your question simply, it had nothing to do with redesigning the system, it was a cartridge that took other cartridges to make games cheaper by not including redundant parts in every copy of the game, but just for one little-known company's games. There were no contained games to unlock, just cheaper cartridges (if you could find them) that contained only the game code and none of the other hardware found in game carts. If that was too much and still confuses you I'll try again heh. Though the article has been changed a lot in the over 4 years since you posted so maybe this was unnecessary! --Hastor 11:54, 1 October 2007 (UTC)

Sources

I added quite a good bit to this article, and the source is the box the device was included in, and the device itself. How would I go about citing this? Can I? I see the site is marked as needing citations, and at least as far as the list of games goes (released and unreleased), its on the box. Basically the "coming soon" section on the box is the never-released list as it was canned before anything else was released. I know this from personal experience, but aside from writing a book myself to cite, I'm a bit lost (and while I've updated wikipedia for a while i've never really cited anything, just added what i knew without a doubt to be true. But if I see an episode of a show with interesting trivia, could I add it to the show's page with no proof other than I just saw it? Citing has confused me since middle school, I just always made up books and authors and made it through college doing that! I don't want to put false info on wikipedia and dont plan on it, after all I'm not being graded. I'd like to help if I could though. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Hastor (talk • contribs) 12:08, 1 October 2007 (UTC)

images

I added the images of each cover art that also had the instructions, and cartridge shown, I've heard these boxes were never sealed, and this is the only contents of each box, the instructions are in a brochure style and the cartridge being in the image show how it differs from other versions of the game that where released for NES and such. The table format seemed to be the only way I could find where the text didn't shift around very much, and the images are linked to the ==table of contents # information and allowed me to like the photo image directly, with the licensing information so it wasn't 7 more images on one subject but rather on sub-subjects to the Aladdin Deck Enhancer. It could still use some additional references but I feel that the instructions are a valid reference at telling how it works. (Floppydog66 (talk) 16:42, 6 December 2007 (UTC))

Baseball Pro's

I don't have an image to upload right now because I'm moving, but I replaced each instance of Baseball Pros with Baseball Pro's. It's on the four-in-one sports cart. The title is actually incorrectly punctuated on the box and cart, and on the title screen as well. Not really important but sort of funny and I thought it might be nice to include. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.123.142.42 (talk) 04:17, 7 June 2014 (UTC)

Jawesome, good job. In the future when that sort of thing comes up, the thing to do is add (sic) after it so people understand that's actually how it was originally spelled. 'Kipedia probably has a special way to type that so it becomes a link to the article on (sic) but I don't know it. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 75.72.186.125 (talk) 02:38, 12 April 2019 (UTC)
