It's one of my all time favorites. Killing so many people for cash and prizes.. I don't remember how far I made it in the game, but it was a real blast.. except for Mutoid Man, who was pathetic...

I hope they do a remake for todays consoles. The controls would be better and I bet they could add a few good weapons and even a multiplayer mode (where players try to collect as many prizes while killing each a lot of robots, convicts, etc..... But if they do I'd like them to make Mutoid Man a little less pathetic..

There used to be (and maybe still are) Smash TV maps in WarCraft 3.

Oh, and what system is Smash TV for, anyway?

Original Nintendo i think was the only one, that and the arcade.


I wouldnt mind seeing it remade, however... could you imagine the onscreen insanity with todays consoles? oooofah

I believe it was ported to the NES, SNES and Genesis.

That was an awesome game, and yeah I distinctly remember playing it for the SNES. Not sure what other systems it was for.

It was, indeed, ported to the NES, Genesis and SNES.

I have personally played it on all 3 systems.

I like the Genesis control scheme myself

I played that game for months on end as a child determined to beat it. Had to know that game inside and out, hehe. The 2nd level boss sucked, absolute quarter muncher, no matter how good you were, his attacks were unavoidable at points. I had to get to him without losing a single the life just to have enough once he was dead to make it through the rest of the game.

I beat it once, and only once. By the skin of my teeth too, hehe.

The final boss, the announcer, wasn't nearly as hard as I thought he would have been. But it was worth it

He was pretty much just Mutoid Man.

Used to play this game in the arcade.

Loved it.

Was on one of Gamespot's lists of games from the past recently. (can't rememebr if it was underrated games, or something else.)

Was that the game set up like Double Dragon for the NES, but you could smash shop windows, and grab it right out of the store?? Or am I not even remotely close? Been a while since I played that game.

I have this game for my SNES, still in the rack behind my door. It was the game that reaffirmed my faith in the SNES... No slowdown, EVER. Even in Turbo mode.

After playing that game, I can no longer believe that any game should be released if it has any kind of framerate problems.

EDIT: Oh, and how can you possibly think any other control scheme was better than the SNES'? Four buttons, arranged perfectly... eight way firing, at all times.

I rented it for SNES years ago. From what I remember it sucked ass.

Perhaps I'll play it again now that I have "matured" or whatever.

Actually it was more like a Gauntlet game. Overhead view. The rooms were all square with tons of enemies and stuff to blow up. You were on a Violent TV Game Show in the Future and had to survive till the end to win. Kinda like Running Man.

I grew used to and became god at the Genesis scheme, fire foward, fire backwards, fire lock (fire in whatever direction you are facing as long as you hold it)

It worked well since most of the game was running your ass AWAY from everything

I had the Genesis version. It certainly owned.
