![]() Unsurprisingly, Nintendo rejected the game after being submitted, so it was sold unofficially through magazine advertising. The game's cartridge is so poorly manufactured that it produces a burning plastic smell if played for extended periods. In the case of two games, they may not even load at all - trying to play them at all on some cartridges causes the game to crash, making even the title of this compilation questionable. The games are riddled with glitches and bugs because the developers had no time to playtest any of them graphics are occasionally scrambled, you can survive pitfalls in most platformers by repeatedly attacking, Chill Out's music has an inconsistent tempo due to lag, Lollipop's music completely and hopelessly breaks on the last level, and game crashes are common. There is inconsistent difficulty among the games (some were extremely difficult, while others were simple) and obtuse controls. Some of the common issues among the games were repetitive music that was annoying and graphics that made many of the games hard to play and hard to look at. However, the games are so poor-quality that they are barely worth downloading for free. ![]() In his review, The Angry Video Game Nerd calculated that each of the 52 games would cost around $4 note In 1991, the average NES game cost around $40 (and games for the just-released SNES were $60-80), making the $200 price tag for Action 52 a bargain in theory. Active Enterprises is best known for creating Action 52, a compilation of 52 abysmal-quality "games" for the NES that cost $200 at the time of its release. ![]() One wonders how these companies managed to release multiple games period, never mind multiple irredeemably terrible ones. Other Examples (more-or-less in alphabetical order): There is a big difference between a botched presentation that is a technical trainwreck and/or kills all hype for a game/system and a presentation that was simply boring, lacked any heavy hitting announcements, or received Hype Backlash afterward because it lacked an announcement the Vocal Minority heavily expected.
