Super Smash TV

With weapon in hand, you must conquer a succession of arenas filled with more enemies than you can count on your way to the final confrontation with the Big Bosses (and we do mean BIG). Along the way you collect power-up enhancements that will increase the destructive ability of your weapons as well as special prizes like new cars, toasters, gold bars, and cold, hard, cash!

So enter the world of Smash TV! We guarantee you'll love it - if you get out alive!

Super Sound Test - This is a method to get to the sound test of this intense game. First, go to the player/skill select screen and then press the two top buttons on the controller in this order: L, R, L, L, R. You will hear the voice say, "Bingo" and then you will be brought to a theme music and sound select screen!

In order for this trick to work, you must first enter the Circuit Select code (at the option screen, press RIGHT, RIGHT, UP, DOWN, R button, L button). After you enter this code and choose where you want to start, go into the game, but before you enter the door into the next room, press and hold the SELECT button. Once you enter the room, there won't be any enemies to face. After a few seconds, a voice will say, "Let's go," and it will show you which exits are open. Before you go to the next screen, hold SELECT again, and the same thing will happen! Repeat this through the whole game and you will beat it in no time!

Acclaim is bring the nonstop action of the arcade smash to the Super NES. The game is a carbon copy of the coin-op, the graphics and sounds are virtually identical. Great futuristic fun for two players.

Hard-core arcade gamers from the first boom will most likely remember a Williams coin-op that proved to be both revolutionary and a lot of fun to play. The game was called Robotron, and not only did it introduce gamers to some of the most intense action you could buy for a quarter, it also used a unique control assembly that allowed you to move and shoot independently of each other!

While a little-seen first-person shooter titled Blaster claimed to be the sequel to Robotron, a new Williams' game, SMASH TV, promises to bring die-hard fans of the original the first true update of the robot-blasting classic.

Smash TV casts you or you and a friend simultaneously, in a futuristic television game show right out of "The Running Man". Armed with a rapid-fire assault cannon, you must wind your way through a labyrinth of rooms, each populated a bizarre cast of metal creations. Robots of all shapes and sizes will do everything they can to stop you from collecting the big prizes that are strewn across each playfield. If you do manage to make it to the goal of each level, you'll face an even more powerful Boss guardian who stands nearly as high as the screen!

Coupled with a wide range of power-ups, the graphics in Smash TV literally explode off of the screen, with animation and detail that is unequaled in any similar game. Combined with incredibly intense game play, Smash TV stands out as a great (although unreferenced) sequel that is has been long overdue!

In ancient Rome citizens entertained themselves with an afternoon of blood lust at the Colusseum. Time warp! Travel to the future -- 1999 to be exact -- and you'll discover that the ancient sport of fighting for the ultimate prize -- your life -- has once again become popular. This time around those with a craving for violence have only to hit the switch on their TV to tune into Smash TV, a top-rated game show that pits one or two contestants against human, humanoid, and inhuman opponents in the ultimate battle for survival.

If you like to do more than just watch, grab a controller and become a contestant yourself. The crowd's not on your side as you enter the closed arena. You'll have to use sophisticated weaponry and grab the right power-up in order to nail the likes of Mutoid Man, Scarface, and Cobra Head. If you win, you'll win big and earn cool game show prizes like VCR's and vacations. If you lose... well... let's just say you won't need a VCR or a vacation.

Yes game show fans, Smash T.V. is on the air! Game shows have taken to the more violent side of man! Your human warrior has only his skill and vast amounts of firepower at his disposal! As you fight, you can collect big money and big prizes to increase your winnings! If the action gets too rough, bring in a friend for some awesome two player action! Then prepare to fight the bosses, if you can make it!

The decline of Western civilization is complete. The year is 1999 and television has adapted to the more violent nature of man. The most popular form of television is still the game show though. One show in particular has dominated the ratings, and it is called Smash TV. On this show, two lucky contestants compete for cash and prizes. They are equipped with an assortment of high power weapons and placed into a closed arena where they must blast and brawl their way to victory.

This is the most realistic arcade translation for the Super Nintendo yet, and Acclaim can definitely be proud of this title. Since the arcade game used two joysticks the Super NES version lets you control your character with the pad and the eight direction shooting with the A, B, X and Y buttons. The action is nonstop, and even when there are more than 20 or 30 sprites on the screen, there is no trace of slow down! The graphics and sounds are virtually identical to the coin-op and they have even kept in the digitized voices from the host of the show! The most impressive things in the game are the boss characters. They literally fill the entire screen and pose quite a challenge for even the most experienced game player. Each boss goes through many different forms, until it is finally defeated.

Smash TV is without a doubt one of the best arcade translations to be released for the Super Nintendo and proves that with a little effort, the S-NES can play arcade quality titles without slow down problems.
