Has anyone ever noticed...

When they did up the label for the Genesis Action 52 - they just re-used the NES label. They even included the NES controller on the front LOL

I just snapped this one from the one I bought yesterday. Here's a pic of my genesis version (click on it for a bigger version):

The NES controller is on the bottom/left. Funny only because it's on a genesis cart. They really pay attention to quality :D

This surprises me, because when I think of Action 52, the first thing I think of is "high quality."

Touche =D

There's only one game on the whole thing that is even close to fun.. I can't remember what it is right now though.. I would go through and play them again, but then I'd have to relobotomize myself.

I wonder how much coding was required to make the Genesis version from the NES version? The 6502 and the 68k are rather dissimilar, no?
