        Action 52

        description
        A compilation of 52 bite-sized games, each shittier than the last, Action 52 is now infamous for being plagued with programming bugs. A contest which involved one of its included games was rendered meaningless because of such a glitch. Much of the sound track is plagerized.

        Action 52 is a compilation of games from Active Enterprises. The game's initial retail price was $199.00 due to the large amount of games within the compilation. However, several games failed to run. The game is notable for its negative reception. Due to the compilation's numerous issues, there were many speculations that this game was made to scam parents into thinking they were getting a good deal. Many people believe this due to the fact that Active Enterprises tried to pitch the main game of the cartridge, Cheetahmen, into a big franchise.
