  1. There’s a new DisplacedGamers video on the steaming pile of 💩 that was 1991’s NES “classic” cart Action 52. Pretty sure my copy, back then, came heavily discounted from a late-night Infomercial. youtu.be/_h1Vk9m3eeQ

      Action 52 was a ROM cart of… 52 games, developed in haste and released without proper QA. Many of the games were basically the same bloated boilerplate with different graphics. The controls were slow, didn't work (some games only read 1 button at a time). The games weren't fun.

        I'm sure I don't have to spell it out for many of you to connect the dots between that kind of mess and a lot of how the Web acts, today. We need to do better.
