My face would be permanently red from the anger of the day I made that purchase.

Because with games that crash, hideous jumping control, random characters, microscopic sprites, a marathon of mediocre space shooters, dying in mid-air, problems with proportion, misleading titles, misleading power-ups, embarrassing weapons, seizure inducing backgrounds, lack of enemies, games you can't win, games you can't lose, games that make no sense whatsoever, shitty graphics, shitty music, shitty menus, and fuck ton of other things would make any gamer angry.[/bq]
It would. Now imagine that this was a game you heard about and got hyped up about, final fantasy III (original III) as an example. And the day finally comes when you purchase it, you play it and it's like action 52 levels of awful...and you never want to see another video game ever again. Because it's franchise you're familiar with.
Don't get me wrong, FFIII is good.
Action 52's case is that something like this sounds way too good to be true, 52 games on an nes cartridge. You go in and play with low expectations and think "yeah, this sucks.I'mThank god I havettin double dragon to play refuinstead" It's not as bad here because you're not familiar with Cheetahmen or Ooze. Although they weren't a thing before action 52.
