Review Request: Action 52 on the NES

[Cheetah Man]

It's been a while since you gave a game an F-. I think Action 52 on the NES would be a very good choice. That would make for an entertaining review, just don't expect to have much fun with those 52 horrible games.

I feel sorry for the kid who spent 200 bucks on that garbage when it came out.

Me too. Man what a scam. 52 awful, short and jokingly easy minigames. Dave auction for the cart ends in 7 hours or so. Current bid 18usd. $200 I mean, what were they thinking!!!!!!! An F and lowest value for your buck label should be attached.

Good review of this awful game with hilarious rating system.

Just curious: are there any numbers out there of how many people bought the game when it came out?

Does anyone here know anyone who bought it for $200 after seeing the ad?  In fact, did anyone here actually buy it?

I have a ROM for it, and if you are a person who is against ROMs for whatever reason, this is one game where I would insist that you just get the ROM so that the cartridge never changes hands again.  It is a disease.  It feels like a collection of games programmed by high school students.  Not a single diamond in the rough, and when I say rough, I mean like up to your knees in crap.

Eh, Streemerz (or whatever.. the Bionic Commando-ripoff with the clown climbing crap) is somewhat playable. Of course, is horribly repetitive, and the collision detection is really off, but it's playable. Not the kind of stuff you'd pay money for, but it definitly beats everything else on the cart by far.
