- This is the fascinating story behind the incredible Action Games Master, a handheld console from the same people who made the infamous Action 52 cartridge.

I bet it had 52 action 52 compilations on the start screen
its the tiny screen that kills me.
The Action Gamemaster handheld would've been an overpriced battery hog portable system with a ton of bugs and glitches in its NES, SNES and Genesis adapters. (2:21)
Well, I don't play video game but I enjoy watching your video.
There's no possible way this thing got beyond the juvenile doodling concept art. It's a grift, just like all the other pie in the sky products they dreamt up in hopes of fleecing even more from investors.
Seeing as those 3 machines were all still under patent at the time, you're absolutely right that this thing was a lawsuit waiting to happen! Today, however, all those patents have expired.
This is why companies such as Hyperkin and 8BitDo are able to make similar combined Famiclones *legally*. Devices such as Hyperkin's RetroN 5, for example.
If released, it probably would have only been able to run NES games due to being an NES hardware clone, would have had less battery efficiently than the game boy color, suffered from the famiclone bug issues, and action 52 + chettahmen 2 would have been included in the device itself as onboard rom chips.
Action 52, 52x the terrible games you never wanted to play.
Active enterprises probably made thise magazine ads with the rest of their money fir people to buy the carts already made and then bankruptcy came calling....hey we going outta business but buy our games before we go
It would be fun to make one. Perhaps from a cheap famiclone and a tiny car reversing camera monitor. Run it on AA batteries, 3D print a housing... Maybe even some tiny carts that don't actually do anything...
What am I saying?! Nevermind. Great video!
Maybe make a 3D model of the Action Gamemaster Handheld followed by 3D printing it.
Not for a 3.2" screen.
There's kits out there now to cobble together different system handheld versions, but I dunno about 3...
No real reason to with ROMs though.
