Return of Action 52 Vol. 7 (+ Daytona lvl. 1)

12. Alfredo (cf. Alfredo 'n the Fettucini, NES Action 52 #9): A bunch of food items are bouncing out of that huge pot in the center. Alfredo has to catch the pasta items in the little pot he's carrying, but everything else will kill him.

Idea sounds familiar? It sounds a lot like that Mario Bros. versus level from Super Mario 3 where Mario and Luigi must get coins while avoiding fireballs, all spewed out from one big pipe in the center.

11. Haunted Hills (cf. Haunted Hills, NES Action 52 #13) All four levels of the Genesis version of Haunted Hills. This is a much different game from the NES one. Here, you play a completely different character carrying a torch, and you have to collect all the diamonds in each level.

Oh yeah, "ALL RIGHTS RESERVED" in the title screen seems to be garbled a little. But then again, what to expect of the graphics in Action 52?

(#10: Star Duel is skipped because it's a two-player-only game. It's like Space War for the Atari 2600.)

(#9: Sketch is skipped because it's not even a game but a very primitive paint program.)

8. 15 Puzzle - Can't believe they'd make nine levels out of the legendary sliding puzzle. The difference between these levels is that the computer shuffles the puzzle more vigorously. In level 1, the computer slides the tiles 30 times. In level 9, 110 times. In each level, the player has five minutes to solve the puzzle. With the wonders of tool-assisted recording, I pay very close attention to how the computer shuffles the tiles, and then I just reverse the shuffle. XD

It's a good thing the developers weren't evil enough to put in the unsolvable version where tiles 14 and 15 are swapped! For more information about the 15 puzzle: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fifteen_puzzle

7. Daytona - From the crappiest Genesis game comes the crappiest racing game. The graphics are not worthy of a Genesis game, much less a Genesis racing game.

There are 9 unique tracks (levels). You have to make sure that you finish each one-lap race in time without losing your money. Each level has an entrance fee that you have to pay. Bumping into other cars also cost you money. If you want to profit, you'll need to win prize money from winning first place in each level.

Level 1 is shown here. I'll show levels 2 through 7 of Daytona in the next installment.

Is Alfredo fun? This is... Cute!

[riki9999]

It would be fun if there was more to the game and the enemies weren't moving at the speed of light XD

Haunted Hills has rocking music. Too bad it also has the worst jumping sound ever.

[archangel316]

UGGGGHHHH!!!!!!! Why are all the jumping sounds so HORRIBLE!!! The haunted hills jumping sounds were worse than finger nails on a chalk board.

[GrounderTheRobot]

This game is the only game with blood on Genesis

Moral of the story: Chefs should stay away from LSD.

[Pooky1991]

Alfredo was making my head spin@_@ That is too fast.

Haunted hills has the best music ever but the worst jump sound. It was ruined D:

[mzxrules]

I love it how when your in one of the outer lanes it looks like your driving sideways

[Arbmanthesheep]

The screeching in Daytona reminds me of...

LUCARIO?

[littlegreengamer]

don't get me wrong - i don't believe that graphics make the game - but i love those bloody sharp objects you see @ 02:14 (in "haunted hills")

The red opponents in Daytona look like pickup trucks.

Why are you racing against PICKUP TRUCKS?!
