About Smash T.V.

Smash T.V. is a shoot-em-up where participants fight through arenas swarming with hostile creatures and robots. The game's frantic action is controlled with a two-joystick method, a system originating from its designer's earlier work on Robotron: 2084.

Its setting is a violent television contest in 1999, where players compete to collect cash and prizes like appliances and vacations. The core objective involves eliminating all enemies while attempting to secure more rewards than an opponent.

This version expands upon its predecessor by incorporating graphic violence, satirical elements, and a cooperative two-player mode. The gameplay is designed to be challenging, requiring players to survive relentless waves of adversaries.
