'''''Action 52''''' is the name of two [[unlicensed]] multicarts released by [[Active Enterprises]]. Each cart consisted of 52 individual and original video games. The first was released in September [[1991]] for the [[NES]]. [[Action 52 (Genesis)|The second]] was released for the [[Sega Genesis]]. A [[SNES]] 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.
