  Camerica - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Camerica is a video game company that was notable for producing unlicensed Nintendo Entertainment System games and hardware.
Camerica had the rights to publish most of Codemasters' game titles, both on the NES and the Deck Enhancer.
Since Camerica still lacked license to produce NES games, they had to create their own cartridges that would bypass Nintendo's lock-out chip and break the 10NES "code." The cartridges they made were shaped slightly differently than Nintendo's cartridges, though they still fit in the NES.

It was quickly sold to the mysterious American Distribution company Camerica who gave the PowerPak a final touch, then renamed it to GameGenie and it was ready for release.
But Camerica never released the GameGenie in America themselves because Nintendo sued them for copyright violation, though Nintendo lost their case but still managed to keep the GameGenie away from the stores a year.
Camerica had already won the case in Canada and released the GameGenie.

Nintendo was able to keep the Genie from being released for nearly a year in the US, but Camerica won its battle against Nintendo in the Canadian courts, and was able to market it in Canada a few months before the US release.
Codemasters announced that it would take over Camerica's business in North America, but it still didn't bother much with releasing the Aladdin, which in its end state did not have any of the SuperChip style features hyped up in the press (it was just the same hardware Camerica used in all its games).
Most of the carts were packaged in boxes similar to the regular-cartridge Camerica ones, except that there was a little cardboard thingy on top that had "Aladdin Compact Cartridge" written on it.

Nintendo has already sued Camerica twice over other products (a cordless joystick and Game Genie, which allows users to reprogram games for easier or harder play), and will probably go to court again.
However, Camerica noted that the company's new games won't violate Nintendo patents (as Tengen's were found to do by a federal judge), because its games don't have Nintendo's lockout chip.
Also in early '92, Camerica plans to introduce its color portable system, which is also expected to retail in the $119.95 range.

Camerica (the guys who also released the Game Genie for the NES) announced in the early 90's that they would release many different "mystic" accessories for the NES.
