'''''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.
The boxes state that the carts contain "52 'new and original' exciting games". The games cover a variety of genres, although the most common are scrolling shooters and platform games. Among the games is [[The Cheetahmen]], Active's attempt at creating a franchise similar to the {{c|Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles}}.
