After getting so many request to review Action 52, the Nerd has no choice but to give what his fans want. The game is an unlicensed NES game compiled with 52 games. This seem to be a cool idea, until the Nerd discovers what those games are. So he does a marathon run on the first 51 games and every single one either has characters dying in mid-air, characters too small to identify, too many space shooter genre games, games that make no sense, enemies that don't die, games that keep crashing, & whole bunch of other disastrous elements. After being tortured by only 51 out of 52 games. The Nerd only has one game left to review which is also the game that has the most publication on Action 52 which is a group called the Cheetah Men.
The Nerd reviews the 52nd game on Action 52 titled the Cheetah Men, which came with it's own single volume comic and a preview to a line of action figures that never got made. It looked like the best game cause all of the efforts seem to be poured into it the most compared to the other games. However the game isn't any better than the other 51 games. It suffers from unusual glitches and the attack moves are worthless to certain enemies. After finishing all 52 games, the Nerd decided to play the unreleased Cheetah Men 2 game. It's so rare that only 1500 cartridges were made and are sold for a high price on various online auction websites. Usually the sequel to a game improves in something, except the Nerd finds out that the Cheetah Men 2 game has more glitches and very bland level designs. The biggest insult of all is that you're unable to proceed any further after beating a certain boss. To wrap up his review he decides to play the Sega Genesis version of Action 52, which consists of some newer games as well as some of the games from the first Action 52 only slightly more playable. While the Cheetah Men game for Genesis is even harder than the other two, while frustrated the Nerd that he's unable to beat the first level of it.
The Nerd is about to enjoy playing the NES Pac-Man, only to discover that it contains game glitches. He tries to blow the dust out of it and even try playing it on different NES consoles, but nothing worked. When this sort of thing happens, the Nerd knows it's the work of the Glitch Gremlin. A tiny little gremlin who is the main cause of all game glitches. Upon trying to get rid of the gremlin, the Nerd discusses several games that contain glitches after being released in public. These glitches can make the games more interesting or make them a lot more helpful upon playing.
The Nerd is surprised to get a lot of requests to review the second Zelda game which he comments is a good game. But decides to review it since the game was known for being harder than the other entries in the Zelda franchise. The main complaint the Nerd had was the constant encounters with the enemies which happens too often during the over world exploration. While the only way to progress further in areas you need a walkthrough in order to beat the game. In the end the game is a hate it or like it game and the Nerd could see that Nintendo tried to separate the sequel to the original but with all of the subsequent titles that followed the concept of Zelda 2 was abandoned.
