Description
Participate in the world’s deadliest game show in Smash T.V. for the NES. The object of the game is to survive waves of deadly mutants, cyborgs, and killer machines in a game show themed arena. Defeat all of the enemies in a room and you can move onto the next challenge. Get hit just once and you are history. Luckily, players are given several lives and can find a variety of power ups.
Players start with a basic gun that can be fired in several directions. Special weapons like grenades, ninja blades that surround the player, and scatterguns spawn randomly in every room. Pick one of these up and you will have a temporary advantage over your foes. Players will also find shields and extra lives that can increase their odds of survival.
Smash T.V. is split into several stages (or circuits as the game calls them) that consist of mazes of enemy filled rooms. To complete a stage, you will have to find your way to the end point while defeating all of the enemies in each room you visit. Complete all of the circuits to win fabulous prizes and get out alive!
