Title: Wow, it would have been terrible.
Post by: Tupin on June 18, 2008, 09:15:12 PM
You know the company that made the abysmal NES game Action 52?

Well, before they went bankrupt, they announced a handheld console. They said it would have played not only games made for it, but NES games, SNES games, Genesis games, and even CD-ROM games. Note the word "said". I doubt a handheld could do all that in 1994. Heck, a handheld that came out now would have problems running all of those emulators, and this one was said to play real games. Even if it did come out, it would probably cost like $700 and be plagued with legal issues.

Here is the only known image of the system, called Action Gamemaster:

Perfect for playing Cheetahmen III, huh?  :)

The last anyone has ever heard of Active Enterprises, they were trading stocks in the Bahamas.

It would have been awesome if the screen was bigger and it had a better battery life.

All I see is a coaster with a grip.

Wow, it would've sucked.

From the looks of it, it's at least a foot long and like half a foot wide.

What I'm thinking is that the screen folds down and the control pads fold in.

Still, it would be freaking MASSIVE.
