Action 52. What reason could anyone possibly have to buy a cartridge with only one game when you can buy a cartridge with FIFTY-TWO games? Active Enterprises gives us 52 such reasons.

		I was a little startled upon seeing the title screen - not only did they manage to spell the word 'action' correctly, but most of the words on the first screen are recognizable. I was expecting stuff like 'No Two Nuts and Silk!' or 'Big Hat goes Party!'. Folks, I kid because I love. You can press select at this screen to access the next screen of awesome games, but you'll have to wait for page two before I reveal the other exciting titles.
	When one is dealing with a cartridge with such an amazing amount of games (that's 52 games!), it seems unfair to give it a lump score. Therefore, I will be reveiwing each game on this cartridge, and assigning it a score from 1 to 52. (I think I'm the first person in the world to do this - note to self: sit in corner and cry over wasted life after this review is done. Therefore, EACH incredible game will have a ranking from 1 to 52. One(1) represents the pinnacle of achievement within this collection of superiorly superlative games. As such, it's a difficult honor to achieve. A 52 represents the least enjoyable game on the cartridge, by which I mean of course that it's only a little bit better than any other game ever made, instead of lots.
		The first game in the collection is FIREBREATHER. It's an incredible dragon simulator where you and another lucky gamer square off in head to head dragon combat. You press a button to launch some sort of ...thing, and it hits the other player. Keep going until one of you dies. Then, its on to the next level, where sometimes there's castles, stones, or rocks to fly over. Action-52 Rating: 16
	Next up, STAREVIL. I wasn't sure if that was STARE VIL - staring at VIL? I don't know. Whatever it means, you are flying along in some sort of ship shooting elongated dog biscuits at various flickering blocks in a vertically scrolling environment. This one gets points for the most creative use of hideous blocks. I can only assume our valiant stare fighter is here to cleanse this world of atrocious, color clashing squares and rectangles.

		The first game in the collection is ILLUMINATOR. You're a guy, walking around, killing other people with your flashlight. The screen will go dark every now and then, allowing you to only see the ladders. If something else happened, the game might be neat - but it seems all you do is sit there and slaughter innocents with your flashlight until the end of time. Action-52 Rating: 8
	G-FORCE FGT.. Wow... G-FORCE FGT. G-FORCE FoGhaT? G-Force FriGaTe? It's kind of a mystery. You are an ugly starship, who travels through about 3 levels, blasting things. Then it repeats. This one caught my attention for about 45 seconds. Action-52 Rating: 6
		OOZE. Ooze. OOZE! Ooze is one of those games that gets better each time you play it, for about 90 seconds. Then, the opposite thing happens. Still, it has catchy music, and the little green oozes sort of bring a smile to your face. Action-52 Rating: 10
	SILVER SWORD. You're a guy, walking around, killing other people with your sword. Well, it doesn't really look like a sword, and most of the time you just ram into the dune buggies, adult toys (see inset), and giant pink centipedes that try and impede your brave march toward the top of the screen.

		CRITICAL BYPASS. I'd hoped this would be a sweet game like Microsurgeon for the old Intellivision - going around, blasting away at nasty clogged arteries. Instead, you're treated to one of the ugliest background and shooters I've ever seen. What in the world are you? And what are you shooting? Action-52 Rating: 4
	JUPITER SCOPE Hey, this game has sort of a cool name! I could picture this being the name of some Anime show or assorted Japanese cutlery/bakesale programming hour. You sit at the bottom of the screen and shoot at ONE type of enemy. That's it. I made it to level 3, and all I fought was hunks of flaming, falling dog doo. Action-52 Rating: 14
		ALFREDO The load screen says ALFRED N THE FETTUC. This sounds like some sort of strange ritual. Say it three times fast. Anyway, this one gets points... Alfredo in the fettucini? Nice. This one is actually slightly, accidentally fun - there's more than one type of enemy (macaroni, snake, french toast, and fettucini) which make wacking them with your spoon more enjoyable.
