    I still play this regularly. One of my favorite games of all time. Loved it so much as a kid. I used to borrow it of this guy I knew, who lived near by, and cycled to his house one day to ask if I could borrow it again but got mauled by a Rottweiler dog instead. I got my left hand ripped open with two puncher wounds on my palm, thankfully no lasting damage but it never stopped me for borrowing it again. I now own the game and still get that urge to play it every month or so.

    There was also a Smash TV port on the original Playstation (in a compilation called the Arcade Party Pak). This is probably the best home console version, as it's a 1 to 1 port of the arcade version. But the SNES version is also very well done and a solid port.

    Total Carnage is one of the most underrated games of all time. It is packed to the tits with details, secrets, and extras. And the bomb mechanic was awesome, because each bomb you lay grants a split second of invincibility, allowing you to escape from impossible situations (of which there are many). My recommendation though? Play this on Mame. The arcade version is infinitely superior in every way.

    Fun tidbit regarding the NES version of Smash TV. You could actually plug in two controllers and hold them vertically to use both D-pads the same way as the arcade controls. With a multi-tap adapter, you could use 4 controllers so that the 2nd player can use the same setup.

    Super Smash TV is one of the best games I've ever played. You can go on some absolute glory runs in later levels if you're in the zone. And it's legit tough to get 10 keys and make it to the Pleasure Dome. Only ever made it through with a second player when we were both playing really well. Seriously exciting gameplay.

    Oddly enough I got my kicks with the NES port. I don't recall if I made it farther using twin controllers or the default shoot+strafe controls but I had a blast with the NES version. I suspect it was easier because all the enemies were smaller to fit into the no flicker setup they ran.

    I actually prefer SNES version over Arcade. It's one of my favorites SNES games, and the perfect port. I still play this game on Snes9x or Zsnes all the time. I'ts the right game to invite a friend to play something "new", challenging and addictive, cause a lot of people don't know about Smash TV and the two playes mode is just great. Hint: In every stage, always go down, or go right if you can not go down. When you arrive to a place with no down or right doors, find the secret room at right wall. Good luck!... You'll need it....

      It's hard to say, but easy to imagine. Despite having been around to see it, I think Suzanne Collins did cite the post-9/11 news media as inspiration for her book, themed around a culture where violence sells; the story to the game is that mass entertainment in the not-too-distant future would adapt to man at his most violent.

    I've long been of the opinion that Smash TV is the best twin stick shooter to have ever graced our planet, and it doesn't even have one stick let alone two. Every other game like it has just been a pale imitation with less charm. I remember playing the hell out of it with my uncle on the Gamecube port as a kid and having a blast. Honestly one of the best games of all time, always puts up a decent challenge, fun as hell, great setting, simple to play and its controls have stood the test of time and truly made the twin stick shooter genre what it is.

      +David Lopez Yeah. Smash TV was a game that I spent tons of hours playing with my best friend and never alone (except maybe to get a little practice). We used to record ourselves playing this on a cassette recorder, acting as both commentary and contenders. It's cringeworthy for me to hear it now, but it's still some great memories.
      We did eventually got the "true" ending, but it took us probably a year or two of on-and-off playing to get there. Scarface was always the thing that determined how far we were going to make it, and the one time we got the true ending, we lost less than two lives each.
