[edit] Price
$200?! I have an old american video game magazine that advertised it as $99 for the Genesis version and $79 for the NES version. Maybe it was a Christmas discount, but that's the only official price I saw quoted for Action 52. Unfortunately I no longer have the magazine with me. It was either Video Games & Computer Entertainment or GamePro. —This unsigned comment was added by 68.53.95.31 (talk • contribs) .
- $200 was the original price at the release, but they obviously lowered it a lot when the game wasn't selling. =) --wwwwolf (barks/growls) 08:54, 21 March 2006 (UTC)
[edit] A mess of images
Currently, there is not enough text and too many images, in the The Games section. IMO, the images titled Silver Sword, Star Evil, Ooze, G-Force, Jupiter Scope are boring and uninformative. If people take screenies from some of the other 37 games, there's room for them. Just not every game.
[edit] Rob Base?
The "Yeah! Woo" sample loop is not necessarily from the Rob Base song, but was a common sound sample used in many songs. Even some Nintendo produced songs used it.--Dwedit 04:16, 3 December 2005 (UTC)
It is actually a sample from the band Alien Sex Fiend, the song it's sampled from is called Haunted House.
[edit] Unauthorized?
I assume this game was not authorized by nintendo or Sega. I doubt they would have approved something so buggy. Can soomeone confirm so it can go in the article? Ace of Sevens 01:08, 25 June 2006 (UTC)
- I think so.
- The cartridge was nonstandard and wasn't manufactured by Nintendo, which is a big dead giveaway.
- I can't find it from Nintendo's master gamelist, which supposedly has all games licensed for US.
- And hey, this is what Nintendo foamed about: Can you find the Nintendo Seal of Quality from the box and cartridge scan? I sure can't. =)
- Would be pretty much indicative if you ask me... --wwwwolf (barks/growls) 09:25, 25 June 2006 (UTC)
The Sega version explicitly states on the startup screen that Sega had nothing to do with them ;) Teh Pogo 11:33, 9 May 2007 (UTC)
Also, if you look very carefully in the lower left corner of the game case in the image, the white box finishes with the sentence "This product is not designed, manufactured, sponsored, or endorsed by Nintendo." So, I'm guessing no. 70.44.146.95 04:20, 17 July 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Cheetahmen Image Screenshot
Does anyone else notice something odd about the right cheetahman, or is that just me? RoseTech 21:41, 20 September 2007 (UTC)
- Appears to be the same as in the game itself. Why? (Yes, the artwork is wonky. =) --wwwwolf (barks/growls) 18:36, 21 September 2007 (UTC)
[edit] HAHA
"... While many of the games are unbeatable, Storm Over the Desert is interminable if the player does not make stupid moves." Nice edit. Wikifan21century (talk) 02:36, 26 February 2008 (UTC)
[edit] Improvements
I got a couple of ideas for this article.
- In the Genesis list, we could color the games' names just like in the game. (I know this won't work, but it would be nice)
- Just like with we did with "First Game (Pong)" we should list what games are paradies of others, such as "Bonkers (Diamonds)".
These are only suggestions. We don't need these that much, but it would be nice if these changes existed in the article. Thanks. Superjustinbros. (talk) 11:44, 21 May 2008 (UTC)
