***Smash TV***, known as Super Smash TV on some other versions, is a 1990
arcade game created by Eugene Jarvis and Mark Turmell for Williams. It is
a run and gun game in the same vein as its predecessor, Robotron: 2084
(also produced by Jarvis). As in the previous game, players battle waves
of enemies by using guns; the arcade version even uses the two-joystick
control system of Robotron. The plot of Smash TV revolves around a
futuristic game show in which players compete for various prizes, as
well as their lives.
Home versions were developed for various platforms, most of which were
published by Acclaim Entertainment.
***Gameplay***
The play mechanic is very similar to that of Eugene Jarvis' earlier
Robotron: 2084, with dual-joystick controls and series of single screen
areas. The theme of the game, borrowed from The Running Man, involves
players competing in a violent game show, set in the then future year of
1999. Moving from one room to the next within the studio/arena, players
have to shoot down hordes of enemies as they advance from all sides,
while at the same time collecting weapons, power-up items, and
assorted bonus prizes until a final show down with the show's host
where players are finally granted their prizes, life and freedom.
Among the game's items are keys – if enough keys are collected,
players can access a bonus level called the Pleasure Dome.
