Action 52 is a compilation of 52 games for the NES, with a second version for the Sega Genesis released by Active Enterprises and advertised in the back of many gaming magazines of the day. It was famously sold for the unusually high price of $199 US, which would make the cart cost roughly $4 for each included game.The inspiration for the compilation began when head of Active, Vince Perri, saw his son playing a pirated NES multicart he borrowed from a friend of his that had 40 games on it. It immediately became quite popular with other kids in the neighborhood, who were amazed that so many games could fit on one cartridge. This provided him with a revelation; if programmers in Taiwan could produce multicarts, why not programmers in America? Instead of putting in games from other companies, why not put in original games you couldn't find anywhere else? Thus Action 52 was born.Action 52 was revealed to the world with a press release, proclaiming the upcoming release of a variety of spin-off material, including action figures and a "Disney-quality" Saturday-Morning Cartoon based on the game's flagship characters, The Cheetahmen as well as the Action Gamemaster, a portable system that would play games from nearly every console available at the time. With the exception of a single comic book included with copies of Action 52, none of these products ever came to fruition, as Action 52 was not commercially successful enough to fund any of them, and Active would quietly leave the gaming industry not long following the game's release.Several years after the game was released, a protoype for an unfinished sequel to Cheetahmen on the Nintendo Entertainment System was discovered. Cheetahmen II had been programmed onto hundreds of crudely relabeled Action 52 cartridges, but was never officially released. Only around 1,500 copies of Cheetahmen II are known to exist, making it one of the rarest and most expensive NES carts.A history of how the game came to be is in The Other Wiki. The Angry Video Game Nerd reviewed the most of Action 52 here. The second part, covering Cheetahmen and its unreleased sequel, can be found here. Even though his review contains some inaccuracies, it still sums the games up pretty well. A more detailed series of all 52 games note including the ones that are only playable on a certain emulator can be seen here.Action 52 has been given a shot at redemption with two projects: the Action 52 Owns Project (in which indie game developers are collaborating to remake each game in the collection) and Action 52 Revisited (which tries to relate all games together).The games on the compilation: | |

The Artifact | |
Action 52 (Video Game) / int_13d7a65e | comment |
The Artifact: Game #52 was originally going to be focused on the Action Game Master with the plot of him being sucked into the TV and facing off against characters from all the other games. Late in development, Vince Perri decided that using the game to launch a merchandisable property in the vein of Ninja Turtles would be a better idea. Thus, the game became Cheetahmen instead. There are still many leftovers of that original concept, such as the Action Game Master being prominent in the first cutscene and even the box art, and the enemies in Cheetahmen being pulled from other games. | |

Unexpected Gameplay Change | |
Action 52 (Video Game) / int_1467a30c | comment |
Unexpected Gameplay Change: Bubblegum Rosy starts off as a side-scrolling platformer, but turns into an overhead driving game in level 2, then back into a platformer in level 3. Ninja Assault is primarily a side-scrolling beat em up, but the third level onward adds in elements of a platform game, with the addition of bottomless pits. Cheetahmen has more of a non-indicative first taste of gameplay — the first level is an isometric 3D sidescroller a la Double Dragon, but after that, all the levels are strictly 2D platforming. | |

Early Game Hell | |
Action 52 (Video Game) / int_1527d90d | comment |
Early Game Hell: The first two levels of Billy Bob are noticeably harder than the rest of the game. While the early levels contain extremely dangerous platforming with lots of screens that place hazards on the start point of the following screens before you can see them and have chances of loading obstacles in unavoidable positions, the last two levels consist mostly of straight lines that are fairly simple to charge through at full speed. Also applies to Fuzz Power, as the first section is nearly impossible to do with pure skill but the rest of the game is fairly manageable. (At least until the insurmountable wall in level 3) | |

Some Dexterity Required: To move while jumping in most of the platformers, the B button has to be released - it can't be held down. However, the B button is also a jump button. In four of the platforming games, the player can jump only when moving, although Haunted Halls, Bits 'n Pieces and Cheetahmen don't have this problem. | |

Game-Breaking Bug | |
Action 52 (Video Game) / int_33ca811a | comment |
Game-Breaking Bug: So, so many. In certain games like Star-Evil and Megalonia, the stage boss has a chance of not spawning at the end of the stage, leaving the player with no choice but to kill themselves. However, Megalonia doesn't provide this option, forcing the player to reset the entire game. Certain games crash after beating specific levels, making the games impossible to beat. Ooze is the most well-known example, as it crashes after clearing level 2, making the contest associated with the game impossible to win. Alfredo and Jigsaw cause the game to crash upon being loaded, unless you're using certain emulators. Alfredo in particular sometimes fails to start not only in the Genesis version as well, though with less consistency. Level 5 of Atmos Quake is nigh-impossible to beat because your ship explodes randomly. They Came is particularly easy to crash, as it crashes upon dying, clearing the first stage, or resetting the game. In Level 5 of Cheetahmen, accessing the hidden level skip results in the player being sent to Level 10, where the game completely glitches out. In Cheetahmen II, if you take too long to defeat the second boss, the Ape Man, then he'll eventually walk off the screen and never return, forcing you to restart the whole game. If you actually do defeat Ape Man however, the game fails to load the next level, leaving you no better off than you were before. | |

Not the Fall That Kills You | |
Action 52 (Video Game) / int_38119dcf | comment |
Not the Fall That Kills You…: In most of the platform games, falling can kill you, and you need not actually touch the ground from a long jump for a character to begin his death animation. Billy Bob is a notorious example of this. If he drops off a ledge, not only does he die before he hits the ground, but he stops in mid-fall, lies flat on his face, and stays there levitated in mid-air. | |

Unintentionally Unwinnable | |
Action 52 (Video Game) / int_3ac5110b | comment |
Unintentionally Unwinnable: Many of the games contain tough, nasty and cruel examples. Most famously Ooze, which was part of a back-of-the-box competition where anyone who beat said game would be entered into a raffle. Since the game is impossible to beat (after getting past three of its five levels, it crashes the cartridge before the third level can load), this raffle saw extremely few entries. In Star-Evil, when too many sprites are onscreen when it's a boss time, the boss itself doesn't appear at all. The fifth level of Atmos Quake is unbeatable since your ship always randomly explodes. It's possible to get stuck at a dead-end in Dam Busters thanks to the game's Ratchet Scrolling. If that happens, your only option is to reset the game. Fuzz Power's third level has a jump that's impossible to pass. The fourth stage in Starevil is unwinnable for being extremely glitchy (a pink background with no way to pass the level). The eighth stage of Beeps and Blips, which glitches up, and there's no way to die or kill anything. The second stage of Thrusters; if you happen to die, your ship glitches out and it becomes invincible, but you can't pass the level. If you do manage to clear the level without dying, it just repeats the same screen in an endless loop. The first stage of They Came...; if you die, the game crashes. If you complete the level, the game crashes. If you try to exit the game, the game crashes. The fourth stage of Ninja Assault; your character is horribly glitched up but you can still move around and defeat enemies as normal. When you defeat the boss however, you don't advance to the next stage, you are simply stuck in limbo. Go Bonkers' ninth and final level cannot be completed since an area featuring blocks that must be destroyed to finish the level are blocked off by other blocks, including those that kill you upon contact. The small openings that exist between these blocks are small enough that your ball could pass through... if only one side of the tunnels wasn't a death block. | |

Degraded Boss | |
Action 52 (Video Game) / int_3babae20 | comment |
Cheetahmen was the main attraction of the NES version and was deliberately placed as the final game on the cartridge, with a special intro cutscene that none of the other games have. In the Genesis version, however, it's just another title found partway into the compilation (game #13) with no added story significance. Likewise, the bosses from the NES version of Cheetahmen show up in the Genesis one, but are just regular enemies. | |

Recurring Riff: Space Dreams and Dam Busters use similar melody at some points. Also, you can hear the level 1 motif of level 3's theme in Lollipops sometimes. There's also the theme for They Came and Beeps 'n Blips, which uses the same melody from level 2 of Haunted Halls. | |

Recycled Soundtrack: They Came and Beeps 'n Blips have the same music, while the themes from Fuzz Power and Cheetahmen end up being reused in Cheetahmen II (and Syobon Action, in the case of the latter). A lot more noticeable in the Mega Drive version, where the entire soundtrack (bar the title and menu themes) is used in multiple games. | |

Action 52 (Video Game) / int_42d9daf9 | comment |
No Fair Cheating: An unintended example. Most of the games become a lot easier to beat if you play on a PAL-format NES or an emulator switched into PAL mode, which slows the games down. The lone exception is the one game where it would have helped the most, Micro Mike, which in PAL mode quickly glitches out and becomes unplayable due to graphics corruption. | |

Shoddy Knockoff Product: Several of the games take heavy inspiration from other games: NES version: Firebreathers = Combat Sharks = Jaws Streemerz = Roc'n Rope (sometimes confused with Bionic Commando) Slashers = Double Dragon Fuzz Power = Adventure Island Storm Over the Desert = Battle City Billy Bob = Prince of Persia City of Doom = Crazy Climber Hambo's Adventures = Donkey Kong (Even the manual alludes to this) Ninja Assault = Ninja Gaiden (In particular, level 4 is a blatant copy of stage 2-2 from Ninja Gaiden II.) Cheetahmen = Battletoads (With a hint of Captain N: The Game Master in the opening cutscene.) Operation Full Moon = Jackal Dedant = Centipede Mega Drive version: Go Bonkers = Diamonds (Apple Macintosh game) Darksyne = Gravitar Sidewinder = After Burner Star Duel = Space War Alfredo = The Mario Bros. minigame from Super Mario Bros. 3 Skirmish = Archon Depth Charge = Depth Charge (An early arcade game) Minds Eye = Minesweeper Echo = Simon Freeway = Freeway (The Atari 2600 game, which itself was a clone of Frogger.) 1st Game = Pong Daytona = OutRun Star Ball = Speed Ball | |

The Scavenger, the Final Boss of Cheetahmen. If you stay to the left of the screen and off of the middle platform, his predetermined movement path will never touch you. Additionally, you play this fight as Apollo, who is armed with a crossbow. The Scavenger has no additional attacks, either, so there's no reason not to simply shoot him from a distance, where he can't do anything to you. | |

Color-Coded for Your Convenience: The Genesis version has this on the main menu, with the game titles being in different-colored text depending on their category: Yellow is used for "Expert" (#1-2, 4-9, 11-13, 15-18). Purple is used for "Intermediate" (#19, 21-36). Green is used for "Beginner" (#37-41, 43-50). Blue is used for "Two Player" (#3, 10, 14, 20, 42, 51). White is used for "Special". Game #52, Challenge, is the only game to use this category, along with the Music Demo and Randomizer options on the menu. | |

Unwinnable | |
Action 52 (Video Game) / int_858dc9aa | comment |
In some games, enemies appear in random places. In some games, a bad enemy placement means death, or an Unwinnable situation, e.g. in Under Ground. Bullet enemies in Micro Mike can appear behind the player during boss fights, making it impossible to dodge them. Hambo is probably the worst offender for this, as not only do you start the game with just one life, it's possible for enemies to spawn right on top of Hambo, killing him as soon as the level begins. | |

Hambo is probably the worst offender for this, as not only do you start the game with just one life, it's possible for enemies to spawn right on top of Hambo, killing him as soon as the level begins. In other games, enemies which are able to shoot, do it at random times. Sometimes they don't shoot at all while other times they shoot several bullets at you, and the player characters don't have enough mobility to be able to dodge them. | |

Action 52 (Video Game) / int_ad4a45be | comment |
The Scavenger, the Final Boss of Cheetahmen. If you stay to the left of the screen and off of the middle platform, his predetermined movement path will never touch you. Additionally, you play this fight as Apollo, who is armed with a crossbow. The Scavenger has no additional attacks, either, so there's no reason not to simply shoot him from a distance, where he can't do anything to you. | |

Hard Levels, Easy Bosses | |
Action 52 (Video Game) / int_b4696bc | comment |
Hard Levels, Easy Bosses: In most of the games to feature boss fights, they're the easiest parts of the game. Haunted Hills/Halls and Cheetahmen have stages filled with incredibly stiff platforming challenges, but the boss tends to be pretty predictable and their attacks are easy to avoid. Cheetahmen II is particularly notable, since the first boss, Doctor Morbis, does nothing but run left. Micro Mike is a game so difficult many players never even learn the game has a boss fight, and it's by far the easiest part of that game, since Mike isn't rocketing off at absurd speed and instead moves at a normal rate. | |

Demoted to Extra | |
Action 52 (Video Game) / int_b8e3f20a | comment |
Demoted to Extra: Cheetahmen was the main attraction of the NES version and was deliberately placed as the final game on the cartridge, with a special intro cutscene that none of the other games have. In the Genesis version, however, it's just another title found partway into the compilation (game #13) with no added story significance. Likewise, the bosses from the NES version of Cheetahmen show up in the Genesis one, but are just regular enemies. Active Enterprises's planned Cheetahmen III game for their Action Gamemaster console would have emphasized this even further, along with the NES Cheetahmen and Cheetahmen II. Showing that the Genesis Cheetahmen, unlike its NES counterpart, wasn't even being counted as part of the main series. | |

Action 52 (Video Game) / int_d91700a7 | comment |
Minus World: Several that are encountered during normal gameplay, in many cases unavoidably. If you fall down a hole in Level 5 of Cheetahmen, you end up in Level 9, which is a room with a 1-Up. When you exit the room, you go to Level 10, which is a garbled mess where you fall to your death. In the second level of Thrusters, the screen starts blinking, and you can't progress any further. If you crash here, your ship scatters into a glitchy mess that can still move around. It can be avoided only with a right emulator and rom. The "lost levels" of Cheetahmen II, which are Remixed Levels from Cheetahmen I where the music is all glitched, and your Cheetahman is invincible. Once you play through here, the game locks up, just like at the end of Level 4. In the third level of Lollipops, the music becomes heavily glitched as the result of the game interpreting other game data as music. The last level of Ninja Assault is populated by Glitch Entities, and the game does not continue upon reaching the end. Level 8 of Beeps n Blips, where the background is garbled and the level can't be completed because both the player and enemies are invincible. | |

Press Start to Game Over: In Star Evil, the first level contains a wall directly in front of your ship as soon as the level starts, meaning that the player can lose a life immediately as the game starts unless they know to move out of the way the moment they gain control. Hambo's Adventures starts the player with only one life, and the enemies spawn in random locations. If the player is particularly unlucky, they can have an enemy spawn on top of them and get Game Over less than a second after starting. | |

Action 52 (Video Game) / int_e4e86215 | comment |
Fake Difficulty: Star-Evil begins with an obstacle directly in front of your ship immediately after the game starts. In any of the single-screen Platform Games, the enemies spawn in random locations, meaning there's nothing stopping them from spawning right next to the player character and leaving the player no time to prepare for them. In certain games like Underground and Evil Empire, enemies can spawn in large quantities on certain small platforms in such a way that it's impossible to reach the platform and shoot the enemies without dying. In Billy Bob, certain screens begin with pits immediately in front of or under the player, making the pits impossible to avoid unless the player knows that they're coming beforehand. Additionally, the falling obstacles appear in random places, sometimes appearing in spots where they are impossible to avoid. | |

No Ending | |
Action 52 (Video Game) / int_ea2e9f2d | comment |
No Ending: The majority of the games simply loop back to the first level upon completing the final one, with no acknowledgement that all the levels have been completed. Meanwhile, other games are simply impossible to beat, as they are either guaranteed to crash at a certain point, or otherwise are designed in a way that they are impossible to overcome. Individual levels have no proper indication for when they end; they just end abruptly. Ooze has an ending screen telling you to enter a code and send it to Active Enterprises for a chance at a prize. However, in most versions, the game crashes upon completing Level 2, making this ending impossible to see normally. Cheetahmen simply returns to the player select screen once the final boss is defeated, not even showing the Game Over screen first. | |

Blob Monster: Most of the enemies in Ooze are blobs of slime that bounce around. The large, blue, faceless ones are the most dangerous, as they cannot be defeated by your gunfire, and can only be avoided. | |

Engrish: The manual. Very surprising because it was made in the US. | |

Wrap Around: 2-directional horizontal variation is present in Chill Out, Cry Baby and Dedant. There are unintentional examples too. | |

Leap of Faith | |
Action 52 (Video Game) / int_fbcdeede | comment |
Leap of Faith: Quite a number of levels require you to jump on a platform you can't actually see. Made worse with jumping controls that make redirecting yourself in midair difficult. | |

Descriptiveville: Sunday Drive in the Genesis version has an endless number of exit signs that read "SegAVILLe - NeXT eXIT". You never make it to the next exit, however, so you never get to go to Segaville. | |

Everything Trying to Kill You | |
Action 52 (Video Game) / int_ffd816e7 | comment |
Everything Trying to Kill You: The classic example: the clearly-marked bags of pain sitting on the floor in Streemerz. Not to mention the deadly bouncing balls and clowns. Haircare products in Fuzz Power. Chains in Haunted Halls. Windows, bowling balls, insects and rubble in City of Doom. Candy products in Lollipops. Some weird... things in Spread Fire. Pasta in Alfred(o) N The Fettuc(ini). Food, file cabinets and envelopes on wheels in French Baker. Child toys in Space Dreams. Weird... things in Timewarp Tickers Utility tools in Jigsaw. Green Elton John heads in Non-Human. | |
