Action 52 makes a great party game!
At least, in my experience it did. I recently brought a copy of Action 52 (Genesis) with me to a friend's house after briefly talking to him about the game cartridge. There, a few of us made a bit of a party game out of Action 52, seeing who could "dominate" at Star Duel, Armor Battle and 1st Game (Pong). Skirmish would've been a hit, too, if it actually played correctly.
What about the high-stakes action that Dyno Tennis' no-rules gameplay brings to the table? Well, it makes a decent drinking game... urp...
As one of my friends made it a point to try -every- game on the cartridge at least once, I scoffed: "Wow. If this thing came out on the Gameboy Advance, people would actually BUY IT." He shot back with a laugh, "I WOULD BUY IT." No kidding...?
Hmm. Sort of makes a person think, doesn't it? Action 52 could be considered a footnote to games like WarioWare, Inc., if you think about it. Take a load of quirky (i.e. cr@ppy) games and stick them all together - but make a POINT to playing them - and you have a sellable product.
The Cheetahmen, however, seriously needs to be licensed by a team who has and can carry out plans for greatness. I'd like to see a sidescrolling beat'em up based on the story of Active's little comic, that seriously takes our three cheetah-riffic heroes on a true adventure the likes of which they've deserved for over ten years now. Livin' large just isn't good enough for them, anymore!
