THIS IS SHOWBIZ AT ITS HOTTEST!!! > -- <cite>Game Box</cite> ***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.
