Should Cheetahmen II have a reception blurb if it was never released to be critiqued at all? The article notes it was incomplete.
Can we avoid the MMO slang when we're writing articles? I've changed it to sound more professional. 68.118.221.243 (talk) 10:36, 12 March 2010 (UTC)
$200?! I have an old american video game magazine that advertised it as $99 for the Genesis version and $79 for the NES version. Maybe it was a Christmas discount, but that's the only official price I saw quoted for Action 52. Unfortunately I no longer have the magazine with me. It was either Video Games & Computer Entertainment or GamePro. —This unsigned comment was added by 68.53.95.31 (talk • contribs) .
Currently, there is not enough text and too many images, in the The Games section. IMO, the images titled Silver Sword, Star Evil, Ooze, G-Force, Jupiter Scope are boring and uninformative. If people take screenies from some of the other 37 games, there's room for them. Just not every game.
The "Yeah! Woo" sample loop is not necessarily from the Rob Base song, but was a common sound sample used in many songs. Even some Nintendo produced songs used it.--Dwedit 04:16, 3 December 2005 (UTC)
It is actually a sample from the band Alien Sex Fiend, the song it's sampled from is called Haunted House.
I assume this game was not authorized by nintendo or Sega. I doubt they would have approved something so buggy. Can soomeone confirm so it can go in the article? Ace of Sevens 01:08, 25 June 2006 (UTC)
The Sega version explicitly states on the startup screen that Sega had nothing to do with them ;) Teh Pogo 11:33, 9 May 2007 (UTC)
Also, if you look very carefully in the lower left corner of the game case in the image, the white box finishes with the sentence "This product is not designed, manufactured, sponsored, or endorsed by Nintendo." So, I'm guessing no. 70.44.146.95 04:20, 17 July 2007 (UTC)
Does anyone else notice something odd about the right cheetahman, or is that just me? RoseTech 21:41, 20 September 2007 (UTC)
"... While many of the games are unbeatable, Storm Over the Desert is interminable if the player does not make stupid moves." Nice edit. Wikifan21century (talk) 02:36, 26 February 2008 (UTC)
I got a couple of ideas for this article.
These are only suggestions. We don't need these that much, but it would be nice if these changes existed in the article. Thanks. Superjustinbros. (talk) 11:44, 21 May 2008 (UTC)
I noticed that references 5 and 6 were the exact same web page. Should they be merged? mechamind90 19:42, 17 April 2010 (UTC)
Why are people always refering to James Rolfe's Angry Video Game Nerd show? It seems too convenient just to add his perspective on every bad game he reviews in the corresponding "bad game" articles. Can we have more constructive information like what every game is supposed to be about? Doug Walker's Nostalgia Critic doesn't get credit for every movie he reviews in the "bad movie" articles, so can we please keep the balance? There were people who reviewed before AVGN, and they should be credited. I don't care if AVGN makes money or was "there first", this is not about him. It's about the game itself. Please someone do something about it.
No. Stop complaining. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 63.26.4.197 (talk) 20:31, 9 May 2010 (UTC)
I agree. Just because AVGN says this game is bad doesn't mean it is. It's always debatable. (Unless it's Action 52.) —Preceding unsigned comment added by Bittergamer1886 (talk • contribs) 11:20, 13 June 2010 (UTC)
It's a non-issue. AVGN is not allowed as a reference for video game articles in anything but articles on him. His reviews are for comedy/intertainment purposes only, and therefore deemed to fail WP:RELIABLE as a reliable editorially oversighted source. --Marty Goldberg (talk) 21:54, 19 July 2010 (UTC)
I think it'd be interesting to mention PacoChan, the author of the fixed ROM of cheetahmen 2, will be responsible to fix the game for the (re-)release. This means the ROM in the cartridge might be identical to the one he released and after his fixed ROM being found may have been the motivation to start the project of (re-)release Cheetahmen 2. PacoChan is mentioned in the cheetahmen 2 fundraiser promotional video — Preceding unsigned comment added by 81.84.143.193 (talk) 20:51, 10 August 2012 (UTC)
I disagree. A rom hack shouldn't belong on the page of an entry. You don't see that on other entries and next thing you know more and more rom hacks will show up on other entries. Maybe a note about the existence of inaccessible levels if it isn't there already. Construct21 (talk) 01:05, 20 January 2016 (UTC)Construct21
Cheetamen should gets own page for general reasons — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2.27.51.163 (talk) 14:02, 26 November 2012 (UTC)
The company is only notable for releasing Action 52 which is the proper article for all this information. The two articles will inevitably simply repeat the same information Ridernyc (talk) 00:04, 10 August 2015 (UTC)

Hello all,
I'm trying to find a source for the claim that even if Ooze was beatable, the contest would have likely been immposible to win, due to the fact that the "personal code" provided is the same across all copies of the game. Naturally, i'll need to back this up with a source. Problem is, all the sources i've found are wikis such as tcrf.net, which are unreliable, and Youtube videos, which are unreliable. Can someone help me? --185.73.65.98 (talk) 09:23, 8 July 2021 (UTC)
