  • The Cheetahmen is a video game series created by Active Enterprises featuring three anthropomorphic cheetahs. It was introduced in 1991, as part of the Action 52 multi-game cartridge for the NES. Full of glitches and broken levels, Cheetahmen was sure to make you ask, why am I playing this game? This is Angry Video Game Nerd Episode 91

    I actually met one of the designers on the Action 52 games. Mario was his name. I lived in Miami and this studio was based in Miami. He literally did not want to talk about the game. Other than they were all amateur programmers and didn't know what the fuck they were doing. It was their one and only game. I met him at a crappy meetup game developers indie group in south FL.

      Making 52 games in 3 months is absolutely nothing. 1 game in 6 weeks is essentially a month and a half spent on one game.
      If we calculate this, this means they had to make 13 games a month. That's almost 2 games a week they had to program. And doing all the coding, sprite work, music composition, ideation, and fucktons of other shit in that time frame is ridiculous.

    The weird thing is that if you look at the three bosses in Cheetahmen II, they appear in the opposite order to what you'd expect. You fight Doctor Morbis himself in Level 2, the Ape-Man in Level 4, and (if you use the glitch to skip past Level 4 and get to the final two levels) you fight Cygore (Morbis's henchman, the smiling man with the robot arm in the intro) as the final boss.

    I remember the cheetahmen being mentioned briefly in an article about “Unknown gaming franchises” (or something like that) in a local gaming magazine back in the early / mid 90s here in Denmark.
    The only reason I remember them was because they used the cheetahmen cover art on the header of the article.
    I think that was the only time I ever saw any mentioning of them, I don’t even think “Action 52” was mentioned in the article. I don’t even remember seeing “Action 52” in the video game stores.

    2:42 Just wanted to say that the music stoping when you attack an enemy, it's likely due to the attack sound using all the audio channels on the NES so the music stops to allow the sound effect to play, ether that or it's just that bad.

    I like the idea behind the Cheetahmen and their different fighting styles. It's sad that the game was so bad and I wish some good game company with a good concept would make a good game out of it.

    15:11 Subtle, but if anyone was wondering about "Norman," it was probably named after Norman Schwarzkopf ("Stormin' Norman") because it was Desert Storm. This may have been more obvious to players in 1991, but I wasn't an adult then, so I have no idea. Even so, I can't imagine preadolescents would get the reference.

      no, but if an artist released a supposed "album" that was the same song 15 times, I wouldn't hesitate to call them on it. because that's what this game is. how are you defending the fact that they looped one song throughout the entirety of 2 games? like it's a good song but I don't want to hear it for hours at a time

      +Omar Elmosrati I can't believe I'm about to start a comment war over this but...
      No, no it isn't. It's not bad, but it's certainly not good. It follows every single trope found common in children's cartoons without expanding the world in any meaningful way. It changes characters with believable and distinct personalities into basic character archetypes with no additional character detail. How would you describe Knuckles in sonic boom? Strong and stupid. Anything else? I didn't think so.
      So listen up. I'm not a fan of Sonic, in fact I hate most of the more recent games. However, I can recognize that whatever charm the series had was completely absent in this newest iteration of Sonic.

      @Omar_E11 9 років тому +7

      Hisworld1234 If there's one big flaw with the Sonic Boom TV show, it's how some of the characters have been butchered. Sonic and Knuckles in particular. Sonic is this selfish douche who's barely as badass or as cool as in the original games, and Knuckles is this stereotypical strong but dumb type of guy that's as generic as generic can get.
