Fast forward 10 years, all the way to October 2001. Thanks to NesterDC, I can enjoy many NES games I couldn't before in the comfort of my own room on my Dreamcast. Action 52 is only a memory now, a shadow of the past. Years went by, and all I ever heard were tales of it's incredible lack of quality. Tales I refused to believe. Then, at a sleazebag ROM site, I saw it. The game not even a whole Summer's worth of saving could afford. It was Action 52, and for free! I clicked on the link, tore through the ensuing storm of pop up ads like a machete armed jungle explorer through vines, and at long last, it was mine. I quickly burnt it onto a disc and rushed to my Dreamcast. Expecting an unsupported mapper message, I kept my fingers crossed when I pressed Start on Action 52. It worked!

In the following pages, I will tax my sanity to it's very limits by playing and writing about all 52 games of this dread cartridge. You will literally hear my screams jump out of the webpage and into your ears, and I will accomplish this without using sound files of any kind. That is just how powerful these games are in their lack of quality.
So, kick off your shoes and get ready to walk barefoot into the bowels of gaming hell!
