Game Description:
Cheetahmen II was a planned sequel to Cheetahmen from the infamous Action 52 game. In 1997, 1,500 copies were discovered in a warehouse and sold to the public for everyone to... enjoy.
Cheetahmen II manages to be an even worse game than its predecessor with even more glitches. The game isn't even beatable due to a programming oversight.
The music on the other hand, is surprisingly good. Two good tracks from Action 52 were reused for this game, both of which were composed by Ed Bogas.
Hack Description:
This game is infamous because it's one of the worst games ever made. It's full of all sorts of glitches and it's extremely hard because of it's glitched gameplay. The game couldn't even be finished. However, it's a very rare collector's item and can be found for more than $1,000.

ApeMan, the boss at the fourth level, disappears if he leaves the screen, and if you beat him, it also disappears, so you get stuck at that level and it's impossible to go through the last two levels unless you experience a very rare glitch when turning on the game. Level two boss can disappear in some circumstances. There's a hacked version of the ROM that offers only the last two levels, but it's also very buggy. The final boss disappears too and it's impossible to finish the game.

Now, all of that is fixed and the game can be completed with no problems. No more enemies disappearing, all levels load correctly, and no annoying level number glitch (levels 4, 5 and 6 were called level 3).

I made some palette and graphic modifications, to fix some elements that looked ugly. Also, I fixed some spelling errors in the intro.
