This topic is for the purpose of discussing #4505: arandomgameTASer's NES Super Aladdin in 06:17.96

Hmm... something bugs me... hey Random, what Aladdin pirate did you chose exactly? Theres like 3 or 4 of them on the same system, so did you chose the best one or the worst one?

In terms of quality? This one by far. The other ones are quite horrid, and also based on the other ports of Aladdin. (E.G., the SNES and GBC ports.)

Rephrasing what I wrote on IRC after arandomgameTASer went offline: Why did you choose this version? This has the fewest levels (3 missing from the originals), the last level is the easiest (AFAIK both staying top and down is instant win). More information of this specific version (skip to bottom): http://bootleggames.wikia.com/wiki/Aladdin_%28Super_Game%29 Comparison of the other versions (bottom of previous page): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hHNHCpXiPYc What I'm referring to is that the game is so cheap and just an unfinished work... it has few levels, an ending and it's shares resemblances, but I guess this will be the most crappiest game in the vault NES-wise.

This game must win an award for the most appalling color choice on a NES game period. Especially "Rugrid", eww... That said, it's interesting how the run compares to the original game. Amazingly, both runs are similarily glitchy, but have different kinds of glitches. It's a shame half of the stages were skipped, I wonder what other glitches there may have been. Also, some variation in the color scheme goddamnit. Voting yes, although I can't be sure it's a moon or a vault.

Nice run of ugly port. Glitches save all. Yes vote.

It has all the trapings of a bootleg tas; dancing, severe glitches and more effort being put into the tas than the game itself. Yes for me.

I thought this was a pretty well done run, and I actually liked the jumping (he jumps like a monkey!). I did get bored in the middle of watching it, but I don't think you could've done much to help that; it was the game's fault. Voting Meh.

I'm pretty sure we need some of those pirate NES ports of Aladdin TASed. I think I shall accept this one, with potential for the SNES port to obsolete it if liked more, but rejected otherwise.

I can agree with that. No point in having a million shoddy ports everywhere.

feos: Thus hack's run could potentially be obsoleted by a run of some other NES Aladdin bootleg, if the latter is liked more.

Uh, what? This is not a hack. I don't see how it makes sense to obsolete a run of this game with (hypothetical) runs of other games. Are you applying hack rules to unlicensed game rules again? Those still are two completely different things. You can't just take a rule that applies to one and apply it to the other. I thought you learned this last time. (Note: I do agree with the overall decision of this judgment (accept to Moons). But it's the rationale behind the judgment that is iffy, again.) EDIT: I suppose it's up to debate how to handle multiple similar bootleg games for publication, but it's still wrong to class it as a hack in the judgment notes when it is not a hack.

Heck, I simply miswrote. Editing it now... Yes, I personally think that if there are several bootlegs on the same console within the same franchise, we must publish only the best one, unless some super exceptional case.

Hey, if you are looking for another pirate game to TAS, the Waixing Wizard of Oz game has a pretty cool level end glitch. You can pause the game while any level is ending, and load a different save, and the level end transition will follow.
