Try Readly, with my link you can get 2 months free, which can be cancelled at any time: AD https://readly.com/nostalgianerd ~ We don’t often venture into Nintendo on this channel, but I feel that Action 52 on The NES really needs to be looked at, in excruciating detail. So @octaviusking has helped me and here we are. God help us all.
Big thanks to @ashens and Coconut for their superb acting.
Thank you to @octaviusking for their superb writing, editing, directing and performing.

24:32 Based on how oddly readable the spanish text is and how the title seems correctly localized unlike most NES games, I guess the spanish text is the original and the english has been translated

It's the ultimate irony that this game fetches the prices that it does these days….collecting is such a love/hate hobby.

Oh no, "they them" alert. Such a shame, she (I respect Octavius's work, but I can't support this silliness) had a fun channel.

I would have gone to the public domain and cracker community and hired competent programmers for ⁵ mill he could have got some top quality games

Quality aside, making 52 games in 3 months is still insane…

To be honest, a collection of small original games in one package sounds like a great concept that could work nowadays. Maybe as like a sort of anthology title by a group of indie devs. That'd be interesting.

This made me laugh, I had a feeling Ashen, was going to appear at some point and the humour when he did didn't disappoint. You always put together interesting stories and the chemistry between you and Octavius is excellent to.

I wouldn't dislike this video, if it weren't for how ignorant you look talking about Unofficial Multicarts.

My ex wife had a cart with 120 games on it all of them premium commercial releases – it blew my mind to realize how much those carts could hold. It wasn’t a boot leg it was some type of commercial product but can’t for the life of me remember what it said
