đăSilver Swordăă53 Days of Action 52 - Day 6ă (Individual Videos For All Action 52 Games)
7You didn't think we'd come back without sending a little love over to Action 52, did ya? Of course not!
Six days in and each one an eternity, hahah. Other than Ooze and Illuminator, this cart is slowly shaping up to basically be a sweet jukebox with some unplayable games behind it. This one continues the trend.
There's a ton of nitpicky things you could point out, but the biggest flaw of this game I think is the way the screen scrolls. Beyond everything else, this just kills the experience. The screen should scroll with you on the bottom lower part of it, giving you plenty of space to see what's coming ahead of you. Nothing comes from behind, so being close to that edge doesn't matter, but being close to the horizon means that enemies spring up and kill you for no fault of your own.
If your game is going to require inhuman reflexes to dodge enemies, you better be some precision platformer like I Wanna Be The Boshy that's giving me some sort of rewarding experience to go along with my efforts, because if you aren't it's just tedium and frustration.
And that's what we have here -- tedium and frustration, crafted in a hurry by people that don't care for playtesting. What did I expect when I started this series? More than this I guess... but maybe that was my fault. If you choose to dig through a pile of garbage, you have no one to blame but yourself when you find a bunch of garbage.
Thanks for joining me friends. Here's hoping the next one will be better. I feel like I say that a lot, but hey, at least it's interesting to explore them all one by one even if they're not all gold-star level. Thanks for stopping by, I hope you all have a wonderful afternoon!

⸺⌠Wikipedia Info âŚâ¸ťâ¸ť
Action 52 is an unlicensed multicart video game compilation developed by Active Enterprises for the Nintendo Entertainment System, and FarSight Technologies for the Sega Genesis. The NES version was released in 1991, followed by the Genesis version in 1993. A Super NES version was advertised in magazines, but never released. Active Enterprises was legally incorporated in the Bahamas, however, offices and development were located in Miami, Florida while the company's product warehousing was located in Orlando, Florida.
Action 52 consists of 52 games that cover a variety of genres, with the most common being scrolling shooters and platformers. One of the more notable games is The Cheetahmen, Active's attempt at creating a franchise similar to the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles.
The NES version of Action 52 became notorious among gamers for the poor quality and functionality of its games, and is often considered to be the worst game of all time. The Genesis version is widely considered superior, though still of subpar quality. Many video game collectors value Action 52 for its notoriety and rarity. It initially retailed for the comparatively high price of US$199 (equivalent to $374 in 2019).
⸺⌠Series Information âŚâ¸ťâ¸ť
53 Days of Action 52 is a series where I go through each of the games on the NES Action 52 cartridge in order, with the final episode being the legendary Cheetahmen. We'll give each game a 'First Impression' style review, with each episode lasting as long or short as the game warrants, and hopefully we will find a few that are good enough to make additional videos on.
