I like how they make Hercules out to be really strong and to not need weapons, but then imply that you should avoid fights with him when you can. And then with Arias, there's no introductory text whatsoever, as if to say "You're still playing this shitty game? I... I don't have anything to say"
@@sjogosPT The text is there but is invisible because the developers messed up. You can find what it was supposed to say on tcrf: "APOLLO IS THE MASTER OF THE CROSSBOW. USE THE CROSSBOW TO DEFEAT THE ENEMIES ON THE LAST TWO LEVELS AND GET DR. MORBIS "
In another timeline, the Cheetahmen started out as a relatively under the radar comic, which was made into a hit cartoon, then went on to become one of the most popular, successful media franchises in history, and Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles was a game in Action 52.
Oh wow! What a compelling and detailed storyline this game has with its suspenseful plot full of twists and turns that keeps you on the edge of your seat. Some kid gets pulled into a tv by a robotic arm, which then prompts the heros of the story to engage in battling random uninspired enemies for no reason.
Best presentation, colorful graphics with smooth scrolling and great gameplay accompanied by a wonderful soundtrack with crisp SFX - what more could you want!
The way this game is coded is an absolute enigma. I'm convinced each individual level uses it's own seperate game-code. It'd explain why when you get to the crossbow section, the jump sound changes, and why you can only see your health on level 4.
You're right indeed. Every level appears to be its own "game" if that makes sense. The only other game to do this is Billy Bob which has 16 levels altogether but most wind up unused thanks to bankswitching issues.
In some ways, I'd actually consider the graphics and sound to be very impressive. The graphics for its large sprites The sound for the music and surprisingly clear sampled sound effects Of course, that's not enough to save this catastrophe
Smaller sprites with more animation frames would be better than those big sprites with 2 or 3 frames. But yea, it's a true catastrophy - even for an unlicensed 8bit-game.
I like the graphics too. I think they are very detailed for a 8 bit system. And i like the game concepto too, different gameplays depending on character. If developers dedicated more time to this game, i think they could make a good game.
A TV cartoon about the cheetah men. Vince Perri really planned this. I have to admit. Killer toy cars, Saddam Hussein look a likes, killer snowballs , green skulls, female bikers would be something to write about in a cartoon.
@@1989Ezal nah, when Mario jumps, only one square channel is used for the jump effect. Here, all the sound channels stop, only for the dpcm to be used. It's bad programming.
Wow...you got through it. I didn't think it was possible. Thank you. Now I know just how fully bad this game was, instead of getting hung up on some bug and wondering how bad it would be if I wasn't stuck.
This game looks like a nice beat 'em up side scroller with shooting parts near the end, with a couple decent boss fights. The only problem is that the boss doesn't get destroyed or show any kind of death animation which is the weirdest thing ever. I was told there's 52 games inside the cartridge. Did you just play one game out of 52?
Jason Weber lol! Come now it doesn't look that bad! Now playing it is probably worse. If the game doesn't control properly I won't be happy. I figure there has to be a reason this game is considered garbage by most but I'm not seeing it by watching this short... er, long play.
+surething baby i agree with you man. this game looks alright tbh. it has a catchy theme and the graphics are average in my opinion. the thing that kills the game is how short and how many bugs it has
On an HTC (a touchscreen mobile phone) emulator Cheetahman had a title screen, while on my Mac emulator and all the other emulators it skipped it. Well guess what? On the title screen the game was called "Action Gamemaster"!
Their names are Aries, Hercules and Apollo (the on with the crossbow.) not that anyone cares because there’s never going to be anything else with the Cheetahmen again 😂
What Would happen if You Put this Game into a NES multicart but with Geninue NES Games, like Super Mario Bros, Urban Champion, Pooyan, Mappy, Burger Time, Duck Hunt, Dig Dug, ECT.
i mean, what Would happen *TO THE GAME* if You do this. i see that the Game Uses Sprites from the Other Action 52 Games, but what Happens if You Change these Games. i Don't Know if _the CheetahMan_ Would Still Have these Recicled Sprites or it Would use Sprites from the Other Games you add, Replacing the Original Ones. Also you're Right, it Would be Better.
@@chuckthequail137 To this day, I don't think anybody understands how this game works. It remains sparsely documented, with no disassembly available. It also has no fans, everyone loathes it.
As somebody who read the entire Action 52 "game manual", there are SO MANY instances of false advertising and while this game does resort to THAT, the description (known as Action Gamemaster) seems to honestly have been written by somebody who was on drugs: "Boy gets dragged into the TV while playing video game, changes character into one of three "CHEETAH MEN" and must fight off all of the bad guys from the previous 51 games." First of all, there are grammar mistakes in this description; I didn't change them. Second, this game is about fighting characters from the previous games, which could have been a cool idea, but was executed HORRIBLY. And finally, the "boy" was turned into the three cheetah men? The Cheetah Men aren't fighting for him? What the actual fuck were the creators of this "game" on when creating this manual!?
Originally the last game was going to be a marathon of all the final bosses from the rest of the Action 52 game library, and it was going to be called “Action Gamemaster”, that’s why despite the selection menu referring to this game as “Cheetah Men”, when you beat it, it’ll go back to the game’s menu to display this game’s real name, “Action Gamemaster”
Not to mention, I don't think they ever wanted you to get past the seizure inducing beginning of the fourth level or the mind-boggling torture of the fifth level. Every single enemy goes right after you so you have to back track and jump just to get them on level with you so you can hit them.

11/10 Best Story Ever!
They were Flock of Seagulls fans!
"And... A man is..."
@Benjamin Hausmann than
What kind of story is that? The Cheetahmen are fight for some gamer who got sucked into the TV only never referred to again?
Friendly reminder that this is the *best* Action 52 game.
And also the best of trilogy as well.
Dreadfury Or at least, the most tolerable.
A soft way to say it's the least shitty of all.
Nah, Billy Bob.
This should probably set anyone's expectations right about here
Plot Twist: The actual last boss was the program code itself.
Cheetahmen: "Well, we defeated the enemies as we promised, game master."
Game Master: "Great! How does that get me back home?"
Cheetahmen: "..."
Up next in Cheetahmen II...
Cheetahmen: We defeated all of the enemies again! Time for you to go home.
Gamer: Why can't we go anywhere?
Cheetahmen: T_T
3:34 - *_*gasp!*_*

They should ended game with that instead ending abruptly
The cheetahmen ran off..
...and now....
The cheetahmen.
10/10 best story ever
WHAT KIND OF STORY IS THAT?!
AlanE14 The best story
The cheetahmen are fighting for some gamer that got sucked into the TV?
Whom we never referred to again?
...and then? We didn't even see an end😭
What a great ending.
They thought nobody will ever make it to the end
@420thlegioner8 Isn't the game technically unbeatable originally?
@@thedillestweed2644 bro I have no idea)))

BEST ENDING EVER
OMG SO EPIC!
"An arm reached out of the TV and pulled him inside..... Yo, watch the gonads."
Lol, finally an AVGN reference.

And then with Arias, there's no introductory text whatsoever, as if to say "You're still playing this shitty game? I... I don't have anything to say"
The game was rushed, and released unfinished. they wanted to put some text later in development for sure.
@@sjogosPT The text is there but is invisible because the developers messed up. You can find what it was supposed to say on tcrf:
"APOLLO IS THE MASTER OF THE CROSSBOW. USE THE CROSSBOW TO DEFEAT THE ENEMIES ON THE LAST TWO LEVELS AND GET DR. MORBIS "
4:11 Thanks for playing. Please accept this free seizure as our gift.
Lol 😂😂😂😂😂😂
wdym
I love that part.
4:10 In the new level all of the sudden Hercules' palette changes as well as the jump sound, the jump glitch gets removed and a health bar gets added.
Man the 90's was obsessed with anthropomorphic animals.
Back in those days, if you drew an antro, you were cool. Now if you draw one, you’re considered a furry
Follow the leader, in this case the Ninja Turtles.
Thanks to the legend known as "Sonic the Hedgehog", the main source of all those obscure anthropomorphic mascot platformers!
Everyone was wanting that tmnt/sonic mascot cash. Some of these are more beloved than others, cheetahmen not so much.
This and any sort of character that resembled Bart Simpson
If you can finish this game, you really are the Action Gamemaster.
Well, I finished it... So what?

4:52 Hercules just killed Stephanie from Lazytown :/
No.
It Was a Basic Enemy from the Game _Slashers_
It's on Action 52 Too.
R/wooooosh
Boob Lady from the slashers game
Damn she filled-out..
A TV cartoon about the cheetah men. Vince Perri really planned this.
I have to admit. Killer toy cars, Saddam Hussein look a likes, killer snowballs , green skulls, female bikers would be something to write about in a cartoon.
It's so of the period!
think about it; a giant cheetah jumping over Saddam Hussein! Never thought you'd see that!
All 51 games enemies contained here as compilation
The one (and only one) positive about Action 52: Mario N. Gonzalez was the composer.
The game is so glitched the music stops when you attack
This was actually in many nes games so. Even Mario.
@@1989Ezal nah, when Mario jumps, only one square channel is used for the jump effect. Here, all the sound channels stop, only for the dpcm to be used. It's bad programming.
The cheetahmen theme deserves to be in a better game.
Does Syobon Action count?
Shoot backwards? with ease
Aries: uses wooden clubs and martial arts
Hercules: uses his brute strength and imense size
Apollo:
For his neutral special he wields...a gun!
2:45 love that short guy who is just passing by lol
That's Saddam!
@@emma_foureyes2313I thought it was a joke, but apparently, it IS the actual Saddam Hussein according to ads, the manual, etc.
Thats what i call a good ending.
They still haven't figured how to bring the GameMaster back home, oopsey! Better luck next time!
@@ChristopherSobieniak he’s probably not uh… he’s not coming back.
@@trentrandle HA!
Why did I only discover this video now? This game is 10/10, just as AVGN described
I love how it has to stop the game music to play a sound effect haha
That was a really cool thing about older consoles like the NES.
the music its good actually
Yeah, this music is in the 1st level of Syobon Action.
Someone made this...and were proud of it.
Dont think só.i believe they were at gun point.
4 people made it under 3 months.
This is my new theme song.
So whatever happened to the "Action Gamemaster"?
Weird how the theme is oddly nostalgic to me
0:36 I love how they reused this shot of the Cheetahmen for the title screen from the Genesis version of this game.
And the character in Ooze on Genesis looks a lot like the Action Gamemaster from here lol
YA ME DIERON GANAS DE BAILAR 🗣️🗣️🗣️💥💥💥❗❗❗❗❗❗🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥❤️🔥❤️🔥❤️🔥
Do you think the developers expected anyone to play this through to the end?
cheetahmen 2 is way worser than cheetahmen 1
"much worse"
"more worstesque"
“Abundant leagues worstest”
Wow...you got through it. I didn't think it was possible. Thank you. Now I know just how fully bad this game was, instead of getting hung up on some bug and wondering how bad it would be if I wasn't stuck.

Enemy: Proof! Boom!
90% - talking about the game
10% - cat Mario
I believe it was more of a graphic error than the same level loading.
I like how the music pauses every time another sound needs to play
There should be a remaster for this.
4:51 is that the antagonist from haunted hills?

Cheetahmen for Smash
I was playing _Brawl_ the other day and thought about a _Cheetahmen_ trophy.
3:25 look the enemies from ooze but colored differently
When the Cheetahman killed Saddam Hussein and jumped over that hole, I really felt that.
The three spots on the back of his head look like a second face, in eternal shock.
Where’d they get the music? It takes Two? Action 52?

Because thats the closest to a cheetahmen 3
*A hand came out of the TV, grabbed him by the balls and he was teleported to the game world*

did anyone notice saddam hussein
I love how every aspect of this manages to almost be a real game.
Also could have used a seizure warning for that level three transition.
