While writing some pages for Sachen games (and especially dealing with a few old, never updated pages) I stumbled upon various way of presenting the same data. I would like to standardize it slightly but I require some inputs as some choice aren't as obvious and should be discussed.

Adding the original name in the infobox header
That's something I've been doing for a while, mostly for games that have the title in non-latin alphabets. Since we wants the top line of the infobox to match the page name, I just add <br/>*Original name using the original script*Example.
Now, I'm not sure if this is something that should be done for games that have a title screen solely in latin, such as Colorful Dragon.
The plus on adding it: completness, actually represents how it is called in the country of origin.
The downside: a proper title

The mousetext
I'm a bit conflicted about this. At first I thought it was nice but it there are a few notable flaws. The first is that it does not work on mobile phones, it's no big deal since it's usually just to show the romanization and I don't see it really missing with anyone, since nobody copy the romanizations from the mobile version (right!?).
The second issue I have is that there's no clean way of indicating the associated language, hence so in some rare case it may be confusing. Take for example with Mahjong Trap where both the Japanese and Chinese name use Kanjis yet they should be translated differently. The article makes it clear here (but in a rather lousy way). Some pages such as this one use the mousetext functionality and add the romanization used. I find it slightly confusing on my end but it can hide rather long and unecessary parenthesis in the first paragraph too.
The question stands also for games that use foreign script to phonetically (closely) match to the english name. Such as Hacker International (Hakkāintānashonaru), Black Dragon (블랙 드래곤 - Beullaeg deulaegon). For uniformity I want to say yes but in another way, is the romanization appropriate?

Misc

• For games that were cancelled by a publisher and ended up released by another, I generally add the original intended publisher in <small> below the actual one. Example. Some people may find it confusing however and this fact could stay in the trivia rather than the infobox.
• Adding <br/> to the alternate names list when they don't fit in the same line. Example

Unrelated
The Sachen page needs a serious clean-up. It should be updated to use tables for the games lists and also I would consider separating Joy Van from the Sachen page for clarity. And maybe even considering making a page for Thin Chen Enterprises? If we have proper things to say on each entities. I'm not too sure on the later but I definitely think we could have distinct Joy Van and Sachen pages, at the very least. I don't mind doing some of the layout but I'm definitely no Sachen expert so I can't do much regarding the games description & related commentaries.

Thanks to the dedication of a few individuals, here's the dump of the Caltron 9-in-1 multicart. The archive also includes Super Gun extracts and a mapper 4 hack for those who want to enjoy it on any emulator.

I saw what seemed to be a catalog from New Star Electronics (mostly known for their NSxx multicarts), bought it but it ended up being a compilation of manuals for the games they released (standalone, if they did, and their multicarts).

You can download the whole thing there (scanned)

I started to add a staff/credits paragraph on some articles. I feel it has been missing from the wiki (and I'm certain many other people will agree). If you see a game page that you know has credits, do not hesitate to add them.

here are some examples:
http://bootleggames.wikia.com/wiki/Sheng_Huo_Lie_Zhuan#Credits (Chinese credits with translation)
http://bootleggames.wikia.com/wiki/Zhan_Guo_Si_Chuan_Sheng#Staff (I decided to capitalize their last name. Good or bad idea? especially when it's available, unlike quite a few games…)

I also replaced/rewritten some unclear position because of bad wording.

Here is an example with Decathlon (C&E):

I'm still unsure about where to put in the article, right before trivia feels OK except for very long credits such as Decathlon (for example).
Suggestions welcome.

The font used for "Push Start Button" is the same as the one in China Rabbit Baby for "Push Start" ("Push" again !), The Dragon (both by EHY team). It was also seen in some Makon game.
All these developers being linked to Sachen (and likely the guy which ran makon was part of that team). I think it's used in some other games but I forgot which.

So this game *could* have been developed by them or at least some.
