Action 52 is a collection of 52 original games on one cartridge released on both the Genesis and the NES, developed by FarSight Studios and published by Active Enterprises. It was originally sold for $199 US dollars under the guise of each game being worth $3, and all of the games are infamous for being of terrible quality.
List of Games
Each game is color coded, with a legend on the first screen when the cartridge is booted up: Expert, Intermediate, Beginner, Two Player, Special.
- Bonkers — You control a green ball that will bounce all the way up and all the way down on a vertical field. You can move it left and right with the D-pad; the other buttons do nothing. The ball will destroy blocks of matching colors; touching a grey block with a different color will change the ball's color (however, the ball cannot be changed back to green using the gray blocks with green in the middle). Hitting a grey block with a black + in the middle will make you lose one ball and revert the ball color to green. After all colored blocks are removed, simply remove the remaining blocks with green in the middle to clear the level.
- Darksyne — You are a ship stuck in a room with enemies. As in Asteroids, you are bound by gravity, and holding
