Boss Battles · Sci-Fi · Survival

Smash T.V. distills the arcade experience into its purest form: a frantic, neon-drenched gauntlet of wanton violence. The twin-stick controls, a revelation at the time, let players strafe and blast simultaneously, essential for surviving the bullet-hell onslaught. Its gleeful embrace of excess, from the screaming announcer to the ludicrous power-ups, created an addictive loop that kept quarters flowing and crowds cheering.

About Smash T.V.

Details
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 you are finally granted your prizes, your life and freedom. One of the enemies is fat and is named Mr. Shrapnel who roams aside of the walls of some rooms and after a short period of time he explodes.
