Super Smash T.V. (Game Gear) price, value & rarity
European pressing of the Game Gear port of Smash T.V., Williams' satirical arena shooter adapted by Acclaim in 1993. On the PAL market distribution is broader than its reputation suggests and values stay contained, with no distinctive box trait setting it apart from the US release. Moderate interest: a cult arcade title gone handheld, desirable for its name and television satire rather than any real regional exclusivity.
Is Super Smash T.V. still worth playing in 2026?
An adaptation of Acclaim's arena shooter, Super Smash T.V. plunges the player into the deadly game show where you survive waves of mutants to win prizes. The dual axis multidirectional shooting, frantic and brutal, keeps all its intensity, even if the single d-pad handling complicates aiming on Game Gear. The grating humour and the blow off stay delightful. For a fan of snappy arena shooting or someone nostalgic for the arcade, the title keeps a raw energy, reined in by the controls.
