Cheetahmen (NES) - Angry Video Game Nerd (AVGN)

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.

[@newageleader5848]

George Rosebush ok. That makes no sense. How can three college students create 52 broken down contraptions of "games" in three months yet the guy who made E.T managed to make ONE game that was at least presentable in only six weeks?!

[@FriedSoup]

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.

hahaha actually, a couple of years ago i started thinking like "wait why do we type "jajaja" i mean, nobody laughs that way, its stupid" anyway as u can see i steel do it xD

Every year I watch this episode I can't help but enjoy the music from Cheetahmen. It's really the best thing to come from Action 52

[@Haispawner]

I think the cheetahmen is a cool idea, just executed *horribly.*

[@aldxbaran]

Nah it's basically just shitty TMNT. Shit idea executed just as shit

[@2diefor]

@@aldxbaran TMNT would kick the Cheetahmen's ass anyways.

[@Ulysses72]

I agree, cheetahmen is nothing but a wasted potential.

[@JamesV1]

I agree, I always like these video game mascots! Imagine a world where Bubsy and Cheetahmen were amazing games with releases coming out in 2021

[@Zorak9595]

What's the idea..?

[@SILVYSPARK]

Wait until James finds out there is a third Cheetahmen game. However it's only on the Active Gamemaster which was made by the company who developed Action 52 and the Cheetahmen games.

[@SILVYSPARK]

You mean Cheetahmen: The Creation?

[@thefalloutkidishere1148]

SilverSpark Rants the Sega game is different in every way so its a different game

[@SILVYSPARK]

But does it count? It had no story at all and it was under the same name of Cheetahmen

[@thefalloutkidishere1148]

SilverSpark Rants its just the nes version remade so it dont count

[@LorenzoBianchiLB]

When the video ended, the Nerd suddenly popped up on my phone screen saying: "But there's still another Cheetahmen game..."

[@Thor-Orion]

14:50 I can think of ONE reason a living cat would lay in the road; if they were a little bit cold and they were warming up and sunning themselves on the blacktop for extra heat. But that wouldn’t be the reason why 100 cats are laying in the middle of the same road.

[@ryanstenner9625]

The story isn't good, and the game sucks, but one question "So the cheetah men ran off.... .....and now..... The cheetah men" Since when does that make any sense? ._.

[@MrJohnlennon007]

I always thought of the “and now...” having a drum roll and the announcer getting enthusiastic

It sounds like something that might come from a mistranslation, which clearly isn’t the case.

At least the NES Cheetahmen games had really good music.

[@_lucyfree]

RaZDaZ *ONE good song

[@Edscratch23469]

Yeah the same one going in a cycle over and over and over again...

[@TheMadman107]

RaZDaZ agreed

[@psycho6776]

KoboChatEnterprises Well that's a stupid thing to say. If an artist releases a single song online or on CD, is that not counted as music because its only one song?

[@_lucyfree]

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

[@QueenCheetah]

10:51 "He's... not coming back, is he?" Nope, and quite frankly, I don't blame him.

[@MrSlendyMannn]

Are you the queen of the Cheetahmen?

@@MrSlendyMannn Lol nope, although I'm thinking that wouldn't be a title to wear too proudly! (I like king cheetahs but everyone assumes you're a guy when you have 'king' in your name).

[@droctagonapus89]

I just noticed something funny. The two episodes action 52 and this....their combined time is 51:55....so close to 52

That's dedication to figure something like that out. Well done!

Well done indeed. So close to the quantity of shit that is 52...Action 52

At least it didn't hit 52, that game (Action 52) is just horrid ^-^|| Although I would take the Genesis version over NES

[@evanstein3011]

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.

[@angelhare8374]

I figured that. I wondered if anyone would tell him
