Super Smash T.V. (Game Gear) price, value & rarity
US release of the Game Gear port of Smash T.V., Williams' arcade hit adapted by Acclaim in 1993 on its home market, where its violent reality-show humour echoed American culture. The NTSC pressing concentrates North American demand, yet the Acclaim run stays sizeable and values modest. Moderate interest, leaning on arcade nostalgia rather than scarcity, with complete copies staying at common levels.
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.
