The Aladdin Deck Enhancer NES

The Aladdin Deck Enhancer, produced by Camerica, and developed by Codemasters, is a cartridge based system that allows software on Compact Cartridges to be played on the Nintendo Entertainment System. It is similar to the Datach system for the Famicom, but without the Barcode feature. It was released in November 1992, with its planned library to reach a total 24 games by the end of 1993 however only seven games were released.

Each game for the Aladdin came in a small cardboard box with a punched out hole at its top for it to be hung on a peg;[8] inside instead of having the typical instruction booklet with many pages stapled together, they had a brochure/poster like instructions that folded out.

Big Nose Freaks Out

This is the second of two games starring Big Nose, the other being Big Nose the Caveman. Both are platform adventure games.

Bones are considered money in his time and Big Nose has gotten all his bones stolen, and must journey through this prehistoric land and get them back.
