Super Smash T.V. adapts the Williams hit to Master System with its two joystick shoot in a violent futuristic TV show. The 8 bit conversion simplifies animation but keeps the chaotic arcade formula and local multi. Solid for 8 bit twin stick shooter fans, original in the catalogue.

Collector interest
A Probe Software adaptation of Williams' Smash TV arcade, published by Flying Edge in Europe, a top-down multidirectional shooter in a murderous game show. Its desirability rests on a third-party publisher uncommon on the console and a limited late European run. Collectors seek this title for its frantic arcade pedigree and its status as a relatively rare Master System release outside the Sega catalogue.
A questionable morality
Recast as a TV game show of the future, the carnage here puts on a coat of family entertainment: you blast waves of opponents to applause in order to bag cash and shiny prizes. The host gloats, the crowd begs for more, and you keep firing away, happily forgetting that this big cheery show runs above all on live-broadcast slaughter.
