Action 52 is an unlicensed multicart consisting of 52 individual and original video games, released in September 1991 for the Nintendo Entertainment System and in May 1993 for the Sega Genesis consoles by Active Enterprises (a Super Nintendo Entertainment System version was advertised in some magazines, but never released). It initially retailed for the comparatively high price of US$199 (or “less than $4 for each game”), and became notorious among gamers for the abysmal quality of its games. Many video game collectors value Action 52 for its notoriety and rarity. The cartridge states that it contains 52 “new and original exciting games”. The games cover a variety of genres, although the most common are scrolling shooters and platform games.
Here is a Gamepack download of (so far) remakes of those games for modern PC.

Spare a Thought for the Litte Guy is a retro-styled platformer based on a silly premise: a freshly unemployed man accepting a new job, recovering souls from the circles of Hell! Only the main character is not monochromatic, and all sprites are superbly animated, with a lot of hilarious possible deaths for the player. Since it emulates the control scheme typical of several ZX Spectrum games, it may be annoying to some. This game was in the retro-remakes 2008 competition.

Light and Shadow is a puzzle-platformer with a “light” twist, combining 2 areas in each Level, light and shadow, as well as 2 protagonists in 1 playable character, Dr. Shadow and Mr. Light.
While either of them can only survive in either light or shadow areas, the player must constantly switch between them and make the right decision about whose abilities to utilise.
