Fun fact(?) about Ooze: According to wikipedia Active Enterprises was holding a sweepstakes that boasted a 100,000 dollar prize for beating level five. Ooze universally crashes on level two.

"There's no real way to prevent damage. You get locked in combat until you die." Slashers confirmed for alternate backstory for Big Boss.

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.

For everybody's information, there is supposed to be text on Apollo's screen at 1:44:15. The text is in the game's data, but the people forgot to program it. Here's the text, and I quote... APOLLO IS THE MASTER OF THE CROSSBOW. USE THE CROSSBOW TO DEFEAT THE ENEMIES ON THE LAST TWO LEVELS AND GET DR. MORBIS

-Be a kid in 1980 -Have a cheap ass dad that never buys anything -Gets you action 52 for your birthday -Play for 10 minutes find out its crap -Ask for new games -Dad says why would you ever need anymore games you already have 52 of them -Oh....

The Cheetahmen theme alone is worth $200.

Funfact: The bad guy in Storm Over the Desert is named Satan Hosain.

*AVGN FLASHBACKS*

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.

The game where i got my username from.

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.

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.

If anything this is just like a bootleg that was actually advertised.They might as well have called it 52 in 1.

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.

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.

47:00 there is a full sentence of lore for all 52 games printed in the manual which can be downloaded in pdf format.

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.

Vinny just said "critical bepis"... Radiation confirmed...

cheetah men aggressively wanted to be tmnt

alfred n the fettuc is a quality game

49:00 That's the best twinkle star remix i've ever heard. That alone makes the game worth over 4$.

This shit sandwich had only three developers and they were given a three month deadline.

The time this game came out, Sonic 1 was already on Genesis. Let that sink in

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.

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.

going from playing earthbound (snes but still) to watching this was the biggest whiplash of my life

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.

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

There'd better be a fleshed out story for each game. That would be amazing.

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."

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.

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.

Angry vinny game nerd ?

Well shit, Vinny actually did oddly wonderful in Meong.

THIS video is my favorite antidepressant.

In Rocket Jock, you're actually riding a bullet that someone shot through your chest after you refused to play Action 52 at gunpoint

Nobody ever talks about him forgetting to talk about Chill Out's theme, which sounds kinda nice.

micro mike was the first flappy bird

your kicking player 2`s ass

Abuse the Feduche. I think you were attacking... manicottis?

You know, that face in NonHuman looks a lot like Eustace from Courage as a green vampire.

Rob Base & DJ EX Rock's *_It Takes Two_* as played on a Texas Instruments calculator.

That unfair perfect homing green skeleton head was hilarious.

A moment of silence for the victims that purchased this game...

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!

Still waiting for that Action 52 Creepypasta

1:33:44 vinny repeating the "rrr" sound is making me laugh for some reason

You see the true quality of Alfredo / Alfred n the Fettuc when you don't use an emulator.

Ah yes, The Angry Vinny-o Game Nerd

1:44:20 There actually is a story, they just forgot to load the font that renders it. So it's all black.

this game is like an acid trip gone wrong

23:52 BustyMcChestTits for SMASH

The manual says G-Force Fight, but I get why it's what you think it is.

First time ive ever seen Alfredo. Why am i not surprised that its literally Ooze.

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.

Argh save me from this computer nightmare ahgh

Oddly enough I can't find any videos of two people playing Firebreather.

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.

Ah, yes. The Holy Grail of shovelware.

Can someone link the video of the short guy yelling?

I wonder whatever happened to the voice actors for the Action 52 commercial

20:46 AND THEY RUN WHEN THE SUN COMES UP WITH THEIR LIVES ON THE LINE (ALIVE)

fun fact the game costs 350$ in todays chash

bro the moment vinny plays dam busters i remember this scratch game called like "marshall" and it had the *SAME EXACT THEME* playing that brought back some memories.

vinny's computer scream at the beginning is now one of my ringtones

This is The Shaggs of video games.

yeah its called G-FORCE FGT. that is all

5:01 looks more like tiny Freddie Mercuries.

OH GOD A VINESAUCE MEMBER HAS FINALLY PLAYED ACTION 52 MY LIFE IS COMPLETEEE

I remember this one dude called Mikeyspikey that covered Action 52 before the AVGN and watching Vinny play this reminded me of that guy.

I've been waiting for this moment.

I never expected Action 52 would be this bad.

Omg I just had a bad computer nightmare then the intro played 0-0

Ladies and gentleman, the shit you've all been waiting for...

Vinny, why would you put yourself through this!

Those damn busters !

He's the angry vinnyo game nerd

That beginning hurt my ears thanks vinny!

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.

Gotta love that opening.

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.

The player character thing in Critical Bepis is clearly Qliphort Disk

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.

Action 52 Ratings in the 80s: 0/10 PURE CRAP! Action 52 Ratings Today: 10/10 Game of the Year, Best Value

the best wa to play this is to let go of the controller and turn off the console

Acion 52 I glad I did never heard of it back then

Oh god, I was hoping for a trumpet fight reference and Binyot delivered

It takes 52 to make a thing go right!

i laughed way harder than i should have when he said meals on wheels

Sombreros is obviously a high-quality gaming experience.

"I'd rather eat Buffalo diarrhea." ...'Scuse me, Vin?

Loved the Final Fantasy VIII reference.

22:04 Ohh, I thought it was a pickle. They get thrust into the trash from what I hear.

I've mostly been watching Vinny's older streams on The Full Sauce, so I don't know if something changed, but Vinny's voice sounds WAY different than I was used to. I;m also drunk, so I dunno. Did something happen to his voice? It almost sounds less "New York".
