Item Description
“Big money! Big prizes! I love it!” The year is 1999, and the most violent game show of all time is on the air. Contestants enter sealed arenas, enemies flood in from doors on all four walls, and the only way out is to blast everything that moves while scooping up cash, power-ups and gift-wrapped prizes like toasters and VCRs. Smash TV is a satire straight out of the RoboCop and Running Man era, and it is a blast to play.
The arcade original came from Williams in 1990, designed by Eugene Jarvis and programmed by Mark Turmell, and it carried the twin-joystick DNA of Jarvis's Robotron: 2084. Beam Software brought it to the NES for Acclaim in 1991, and the conversion found a clever answer to the missing second stick: a single player can use the second controller's directional pad to aim, holding one controller to move and the other to shoot in any direction. With a multitap, two players can each use that dual-controller setup at once.
Each level is a grid of rooms. After the first arena a map shows the layout and the location of the end-of-level boss, and because you cannot backtrack, choosing the route through the studio becomes part of the game. Waves grow from a handful of grunts into screen-filling swarms, weapon pickups turn the tide, and the host's gleeful catchphrases keep the absurd tone going. Two players fight together, but whoever grabs the most cash and prizes earns a bonus at the end of each level, so every co-op session carries a little friendly greed. The final showdown pits you against the smirking host himself.
Smash TV won the AMOA's most innovative game award in 1990, and Electronic Gaming Monthly later ranked it among the best arcade games ever made. Williams followed it with the spiritual successor Total Carnage, named after one of the host's catchphrases. On the NES, it is a chaotic, funny and surprisingly faithful slice of arcade mayhem, and two controllers in hand is still the best way to hear that host shout that he would buy that for a dollar.
