the best part about action 52 is its cartridge, which has extended memory (which explains the large amount of shit and actual music samples like the YEAAA WOW thing), so that means that they could've legitimately made a gigantic, amazing game (for NES standards) with all that memory. Instead, they made this.
+cool “stink” man The cartridge was designed to hold 60 games, and the games were developed 12 hours a day over 3 months by 4 college students. They really didn't know enough about game design or had enough time to make every game an actually good one.
Well for 1) the expanded cartridge probably cost a lot more to produce than a standard NES cart, so you still need to charge more and "50 games in 1 cart" is a much more persuasive sell than "trust us it's really really cool", especially when 2) the SNES hit the market the same year, so even a game significantly more advanced than anything a normal NES cart could do would still be totally outclassed by anything on the SNES. The install base was obviously still there, but it's never going to impress anyone if it's dropping in the middle of the SNES launch marketing campaign.

It's an actual miracle that they made 52 video games and not even one of them is fun. Statistically, at least one of them should be fun, even if only a little. That they made 52 terrible games is genuinely impressive.
@@xamp_exclammark I thought I would too, as well as with at least three other games. I tried it out myself. _Holy shit no_ It really is as bad as they say. Watching videos doesn't do it justice
A number of amateur developers took it upon themselves to begin an initiative entitled 'Action 52 Owns'. In this, they attempted to take individual selections of Action 52 and make them into good games. FrankieSmileShow's take on Non Human is one of the most awesome things to grace mandkind. Yes. Mandkind.
Two Fun Facts : 1- the Cheetamen is called Action Gamemaster in the menu because in the original concept of the last game you would have to combat against the bosses of the precedent 51 games, to get a "Game 52" throphy. Then this idea was rejected, but it was too late to change the name; so they introduced a guy named Action Gamemaster to justify the title. 2- Bubblegum Rosie is based on the girlfriend of one of the developers, a blonde girl who loved bubblegums.
This game is very symbolic of those game devs on Steam Greenlight, "Digital Homicide", that Jim Sterling had to deal with. They want to make 50 or so shit games before they'd allocate that same amount of time to something that might not be complete shit.
Shane McZane The main difference is that while DigiHom's crappiness was a result of sheer laziness, Action 52's shit factor was born from a creator with delusions of grandeur exepecting his rather green 4-man dev team to make 52 games in just 3 months. Look up the concept to console vid on it. It's an interesting story.

I actually have an idea about why the fall damage occurs before hitting the ground. I think they might've programmed it so that you die when you fall a certain distance rather than hitting the ground after a certain distance. Or something, I don't know anything about video game programming.
Action 52: a classic example of devs shoveling out pure shit in massive quantities with the tagline "You get all these games for bargain prices!!!" This was your EA, your Data Design Interactive, and your Activision back in the day. The lords of shitting on your parents' wallets, everyone.
Shino Hunter Well, they aren't shoveling out shovelware so much as they are committing terrible business practices, like the shitty system they're trying to impose on TH-camrs. The only really terrible game I can think of in recent years is Yoshi's New Island, and that was contracted to a third party (I thought) and it was only really just a terribly mediocre game with awful, repetitive music on top of it all.
@@hustlerfour i know your reply is 4 years old but dont you even think to compare EA Data Design and Activision to Nintendo. Nintendo has done some questionable stuff on these last months, but the things they've done SQUEAL in comparison to EA, Data Design and Activision.
I read an interview from a Dev that the owner of Active Enterprises isn't exactly a scam artist. He had the business know-how as a businessman, and he saw his kid and friends playing bootleg Nintendo cartridges. So he thought: let's make a multi-game Nintendo cartridge, the kids will love that! The problem is he didn't know how videogames worked, were made, etc. so he hired only a few new developers to make a crapload of games for a multi-cart, and they all turned out to be the terrible Action 52. However I think releasing that cart to stores can be considered scammy, but not the original intent. I think one of the devs of Action 52 is still making games as a hobby! Though I couldn't find where their games are published.
ITS MY CHARACTER! I'M THE MASH MAN! I COME OUT, I THROW MASH, ALL OVER, ALL OVER THE RING! AND THEN, I START EATING POTATOES! AND THEN I PICK UP THE MASH CAN, AND I MASH THE GUY WITH IT!
Fun fact: The creator of this game was so delusional he convinced himself that Action 52 was going to be so massively successful that it would have sequels on every game console, a TV show, action figures, and more. He said he wanted a robot cheetah advertising the Cheetah Men game or some shit, too.
Don't forget his ridiculous console idea, which would've been this monstrous handheld console called the Action Gamemaster. It would play Genesis, NES, SNES, and CD-Rom games, alongside it's own game library that would've included Cheetahmen III. It would've had a lot of other shit, too, most bafflingly a cigarette lighter for vehicles.
35:05 your character avatar is the letter A on top of the number 52. So this game is self aware!! you play as Action 52 and no matter what you do or or where you go, you will inevitably fail.
1:46 Vinny - Did you see the cheetah? In the words of St. Cr1tikal the moist- "There seems to be a cheetah givin' me the finger. that's.... that's encouraging right there."
Wanna hear something weird? A dude on Amazon music actually uploaded all of the music from this game and sells each song for like a dollar. No joke, look up "Action 52" on Amazon music.
I like how in Steeemerz it penalizes you for grabbing money, as if to give a message that greed is bad, in a shovelware collection cartridge sold for 200 dollars :)
Thankfully if the stories are right, not many parents stuck to that mentality long, since alot of complaints got out the games were super buggy and many didn't even play, especially for the price demanded.
This and drake of the 99 dragons are the only games so bad they broke my mind and forced me into horrible evil sounding laughing to hold onto my sanity.
1:11:40 I didn't realize it until now but Vinny is just playing a bootlegged version of the Sans boss fight from Undertale. You get no music, you get no satisfaction, you get no victory, you just feel worse in the end then you did when you started.
1:13:22 You know for the longest time,I thought that the character was taken by his scolding mother after you sneaked out on something dangerous. Anyone know where I can find the jumping sound clip from Manchester? I need it for my text messaging tone.
It's a brilliant example why you should never try to copy Chinese black market underworld bootleg games for mainstream consumption, even if they are amazing for having tons of games on them in the first place. It would be like adapting snuff films for cinema or explaining "Yes, we do put in trace amounts of arsenic in our junk food" thinking it would be good for business. They are but an inevitable result of the excess of civilization.
Apparently for that Prince of Persia ripoff to do a long jump you have to tap the jump button, holding the button down does a high jump instead, which I'm guessing is what Vinny was doing.
1:40 - "...License for that?" That sample doesn't even belong to the tune everyone's thinking about: Rob Base & EZ Rock's "It Takes Two", which also stole that original sound, although I can't recall where it's from offhand. Yuzo Koshiro did an emulation of that sound for the Super Adventure Island soundtrack ("Jungle Chase").
One of the worst things ever, not only because of the low quality games, but I don't even want to imagine the people that got this for Xmas instead of the game that they wished so much. With that said, the concept of Cheetamen wasn't too bad(even if the stroy was just flat out terrible), mixing elements of all games into one, would've been amazing to see a game collection which didn't suck(other than those black/white game things that have tetris and other stuff on them) and had Rythm Haven like remixes in them.

ITS MY CHARACTER! I'M THE MASH MAN! I COME OUT, I THROW MASH, ALL OVER, ALL OVER THE RING! AND THEN, I START EATING POTATOES! AND THEN I PICK UP THE MASH CAN, AND I MASH THE GUY WITH IT!

Fun fact:
The creator of this game was so delusional he convinced himself that Action 52 was going to be so massively successful that it would have sequels on every game console, a TV show, action figures, and more. He said he wanted a robot cheetah advertising the Cheetah Men game or some shit, too.
"Fun" fact
Don't forget his ridiculous console idea, which would've been this monstrous handheld console called the Action Gamemaster. It would play Genesis, NES, SNES, and CD-Rom games, alongside it's own game library that would've included Cheetahmen III. It would've had a lot of other shit, too, most bafflingly a cigarette lighter for vehicles.
@@Takimekowait what happened to cheetahmen 2
I actually made it through a few levels in Billy Bob and believe it or not but the game changes into Cheetahmen at the third or fourth level
shitthatdidnthappen.txt
Orange Harrison No, that actually happens. After beating Level 2 of Billy Bob, for whatever fucking reason, the game changes to Cheetahmen.
@@OrangeHarrisonRB3 you've been had and made a fool
35:05 your character avatar is the letter A on top of the number 52. So this game is self aware!! you play as Action 52 and no matter what you do or or where you go, you will inevitably fail.
1:46 Vinny - Did you see the cheetah?
In the words of St. Cr1tikal the moist- "There seems to be a cheetah givin' me the finger. that's.... that's encouraging right there."
The time this game came out, Sonic 1 was already on Genesis. Let that sink in
There'd better be a fleshed out story for each game. That would be amazing.
+Zippy Ragu to an extent, they exist! the manual gives descriptions of the games, sometimes including plot points!

A moment of silence for the victims that purchased this game...
Wanna hear something weird? A dude on Amazon music actually uploaded all of the music from this game and sells each song for like a dollar. No joke, look up "Action 52" on Amazon music.
Well shit, Vinny actually did oddly wonderful in Meong.
micro mike was the first flappy bird
Rob Base & DJ EX Rock's *_It Takes Two_* as played on a Texas Instruments calculator.
excuse me but with Houston Tracker one of those can actually make some fuckin amazing tunes
going from playing earthbound (snes but still) to watching this was the biggest whiplash of my life
Abuse the Feduche.
I think you were attacking... manicottis?
Alfredo 'n the fettuccine, perhaps?
1:44:20 There actually is a story, they just forgot to load the font that renders it. So it's all black.
1:33:44 vinny repeating the "rrr" sound is making me laugh for some reason
Like some mad bird
It's not just the Tower of Babel, it's the Babel Apartments! Just make sure not to open your window if you live in the space section.
Nobody ever talks about him forgetting to talk about Chill Out's theme, which sounds kinda nice.
23:52 BustyMcChestTits for SMASH
we got simon and richter, so basically the same thing
In Rocket Jock, you're actually riding a bullet that someone shot through your chest after you refused to play Action 52 at gunpoint
Still waiting for that Action 52 Creepypasta

Dang, I was rooting for Player 2
That unfair perfect homing green skeleton head was hilarious.

I know that gremlin dude was a thing long before, but this clip is so synonymous with Justin Whang that it feels like a crossover now.
Douglas Levinson being called a gremlin dude makes me laugh 😂
You see the true quality of Alfredo / Alfred n the Fettuc when you don't use an emulator.
+Giratina And Jigsaw.
Ah, yes. I forgot about that one.
THIS video is my favorite antidepressant.
First time ive ever seen Alfredo.
Why am i not surprised that its literally Ooze.
The manual says G-Force Fight, but I get why it's what you think it is.
this game is like an acid trip gone wrong
I've been waiting for this moment.
I like how in Steeemerz it penalizes you for grabbing money, as if to give a message that greed is bad, in a shovelware collection cartridge sold for 200 dollars :)
fun fact the game costs 350$ in todays chash

$372.33 to be exact

I wonder whatever happened to the voice actors for the Action 52 commercial
Kyogre's Hideout They probably killed themselves.
5:01 looks more like tiny Freddie Mercuries.
Thankfully if the stories are right, not many parents stuck to that mentality long, since alot of complaints got out the games were super buggy and many didn't even play, especially for the price demanded.
You know, that face in NonHuman looks a lot like Eustace from Courage as a green vampire.

Ah, yes. The Holy Grail of shovelware.

vinny's computer scream at the beginning is now one of my ringtones
This and drake of the 99 dragons are the only games so bad they broke my mind and forced me into horrible evil sounding laughing to hold onto my sanity.
yeah its called G-FORCE FGT. that is all
Ashley King... Is this the Ashley King at Ellsworth?
nah, just ashley
AshleyKing88 It stands for "G-Force Fighters"
Pause at 54:12 and tell me that doesn't look wrong .-.

OH GOD A VINESAUCE MEMBER HAS FINALLY PLAYED ACTION 52 MY LIFE IS COMPLETEEE
well I mean he played it before but finally I can see it
Oddly enough I can't find any videos of two people playing Firebreather.
Ladies and gentleman, the shit you've all been waiting for...
I remember this one dude called Mikeyspikey that covered Action 52 before the AVGN and watching Vinny play this reminded me of that guy.
That beginning hurt my ears thanks vinny!
Argh save me from this computer nightmare ahgh
1:11:40
I didn't realize it until now but Vinny is just playing a bootlegged version of the Sans boss fight from Undertale.
You get no music, you get no satisfaction, you get no victory, you just feel worse in the end then you did when you started.
I never expected Action 52 would be this bad.
22:04 Ohh, I thought it was a pickle. They get thrust into the trash from what I hear.
Acion 52 I glad I did never heard of it back then
1:13:22 You know for the longest time,I thought that the character was taken by his scolding mother after you sneaked out on something dangerous.
Anyone know where I can find the jumping sound clip from Manchester? I need it for my text messaging tone.
TheLuna9526 I can recreate it for you.
That would be amazing.Can't wait for it.

Thanks.Already downloaded.
1:16:00 You're a vampire who works part-time as a janitor, and your goal is to get to work on time without letting the other monsters slow you down
Vinny, why would you put yourself through this!
Oh Action 52. What a weird stain on gaming history. It's just weird, beyond awful and just really weird and you can't get it out.
The one game that makes you wanna channel the AVGN.
It's a brilliant example why you should never try to copy Chinese black market underworld bootleg games for mainstream consumption, even if they are amazing for having tons of games on them in the first place. It would be like adapting snuff films for cinema or explaining "Yes, we do put in trace amounts of arsenic in our junk food" thinking it would be good for business. They are but an inevitable result of the excess of civilization.
@@otokobhanchou4477 *glares angrily in whatever direction Soulja Boy is from me* YA HEAR THAT!?
Apparently for that Prince of Persia ripoff to do a long jump you have to tap the jump button, holding the button down does a high jump instead, which I'm guessing is what Vinny was doing.
Gotta love that opening.
Omg
I just had a bad computer nightmare then the intro played 0-0
Considering inflation and how much money was worth back then vs now, Action 52 would've been $370 today :) so thats pretty epic
1:40 - "...License for that?" That sample doesn't even belong to the tune everyone's thinking about: Rob Base & EZ Rock's "It Takes Two", which also stole that original sound, although I can't recall where it's from offhand. Yuzo Koshiro did an emulation of that sound for the Super Adventure Island soundtrack ("Jungle Chase").
One of the worst things ever, not only because of the low quality games, but I don't even want to imagine the people that got this for Xmas instead of the game that they wished so much.
With that said, the concept of Cheetamen wasn't too bad(even if the stroy was just flat out terrible), mixing elements of all games into one, would've been amazing to see a game collection which didn't suck(other than those black/white game things that have tetris and other stuff on them) and had Rythm Haven like remixes in them.
the best wa to play this is to let go of the controller and turn off the console
Imagine living in "Action 52 world". Your life is existing in the world of action 52.
