I’m curious if Rolfe knows the whole story behind Action 52. It was one of a man who goes into an industry with good intentions, overworks his employees, comes out with a bad NES treasury and mediocre Genesis cart, yet plans for a generic cheetahmen action figure line to take off. The story of Action 52 is like the story of Chris Chan with some minor success. Had the creator been active a decade later he would be a lolcow.
Guy even had plans for a console that wouldn’t even be possible until the advent of good emulators and FPGAs.
