The idea was simple: Why place over and over again the same chips in the cartridges (RAM, graphics, secutiry) and make the gamepaks expensive, when you can have these chips standard in the main cartridge and only swap the small cartridge that contains only the game. Pretty simple, right?
The system bundled with Dizzy the Adventurer (port of Dizzy, Prince of the Yolkfolk). Each game for the Aladdin came in a small cardboard box with a punched out hole at its top to hang in the store. Inside, instead of having the typical instruction booklet with many pages stapled together, they had a brochure/poster like instructions that folded out.
