[nviso209]

Jarvis is a genius!!!

[Pooptality]

the controls are a nightmare on a keyboard with mame.

[xJoeEDangerouslyx]

I have Super Smash TV for Game Gear!

[tHeWasTeDYouTh]

didn't Midway went bankrupt???

[d1664256]

I remember constantly inserting quarters and basically using the temporary respawn invinibility as my only reliable weapon. The levels get that bad and that crowded!

[StargateFan2389]

I <3 this game!!!



[brattyHunter1]

Dead ops arcade

[ghoster96]

You need to play TOTAL CARNAGE!!!

[gtmsnba13]

dead ops arcade anyone?

[WolfPackAttackClan]

this game is easy i beat it and died 2 times till i got to the 3 or 2 headed dragon

[gibbylupefiascofan]

good luck, you'll need it!!!

[LoquenderoPrincipe]

I loved Smash TV.

[kaypeeization]

You just slaughtered a room full of assholes!...You win a toaster!...haha

[journyman2010]

Memories, My brother and I have spent hours in front of the tv playing this damn game.

[DecaPodge]

Ah I have this on the SNES!

[Benzzoop]

I used to play this all the time :) 

[SK83RGAMER]

ive heard the guy in this video tlk about it and play it but i never have..

[djnarcotixmusic]

Might seem like a dumb question (I never played this game in the arcades).. but, how did you play a 2-player game on it? Did you have to use like 4 joysticks total?? :S

[SK83RGAMER]

yup



[m0r1ch648]

i heard Johnny Cage from mortal kombat was in this game

[gibbylupefiascofan]

this game is sooo hard without using joysticks!! you cheater jk, i found my super nintendo in my closet and ordered a part that i lost on amazon and im having a blast playing it, this game and yoshi's island are the only games that work and thats all i need. =D

[SK83RGAMER]

I THINK THIS IS HOW DEAD OPS ARCADE WAS MADE

[fluteplaya22593]

The Boss levels gets so much more difficult :(

[prevost2011]

10 seconds....

clasicc!!!

[Jen2261]

I used to kill on this game!!!!! I miss it. :(

[1dosucol1]

That looks bad stretched to 16:9 widescreen ,stick the game back in it's original 4:3 size .

[Tryzon]

THE RUNNING MAN!

[AmadeusExcello]

I'll buy that for a dollar!

[PuksisKissa]

@AmadeusExcello

I'd rather just play this game on the almighty SEGA GENESIS!!

[BikerTrashWolf]

it is late, but I just had a thought about what it would be like if this game was real... No more prison over crowding! But what to do with the mountain of bodies?

[gibbylupefiascofan]

@BikerTrashWolf so it would be like the movie "Gamer" with gerard butler where everybody dies AND you get rid of convicts at the same time...movie was awesome by the way =P

[happymonkeyfish]

i always thot the ladys that the guy was standing with were men

[rotarydialz]

I loved this game. Sort of an updated version of Robotron. Addictive as hell.

[elitefighterx20]

yeah I have midway arcade treasures on the origional xbox. It has this root beer tapper, bubbles, joust, and a ton more. I love midway arcade games!!!

[XTacoMangX]

YOU SHOULD REVIEW TOTAL CARNAGE!

Its basically the same engine, except way better.

[danhjnny]

I prefer this over COD simply because i dont like fish

[sonicmario64]

This game IS addicting, man! Me and my best friend like to play this game when we turn on "Midway's Arcade Treasures" on the Nintendo Gamecube! :D

[SuperFalco80]

I'd buy that for a dollar!

[MrTinkotin]

Actually there is a SEMI-sequel to Smash TV called Total Carnage

[TheFuckingGoat]

I have the SNES version of this game!

[maotico]

@Anoush13 thats what he saod

[killer987192]

haha i love this game so much ive played this for so long

[ThatsFresh26]

One of my favorite 2 player games for the snes....but then again i like all 2 player games for the snes... ok it is just an awsome game haha

[solidjose54]

I love this game

[09vl1603]

Just what are you killing?

[passiveMenis]

Gonna get Super Smash TV soon. I really need a pick up and play multiplayer game for Super Nintendo

[concretespecial]

It's CRAZY Eddie where prices are INSANE!!! 

[MrStigable]

They made a TV show just like this...

It was called Big Brother :)

Another great vid keep up the work :P

[Anemicnapalm]

YOU SAID IT BEST MARK TOTAL FUCKIN CARNAGE I SPENT SO MANY QUARTERS ON THIS GAME BUT IT WAS WORTH IT

[rx882]

MERRY CHRISTMAS Mark!!!!

[PixelOutlaw]

Ugliest women...ever.

[main9123]

omg i loved this game!!

[mangaas]

HAd to play play this for SNES right after the review. I notice that my version doesn't have the small details between rooms of behind the set scenery.

Is the PC version old and require DOS BOX or is there some new "retro" release of it?

[VideosbySteve]

This game needs an HD remake with all the modern goodness.

[blehh92]

you know what this made me do?

it made me dust off my playstation (yes, my PLAYSTATION, not the PS2) open up arcade party pak for the first time in YEARS and play smash tv.

[hazelWSD]

I rented this for Genesis back in the day

[arrourasanti2]

you can tell COD players because they have no sense of humor, people are being SARCASTIC when they say this ripped of black ops....

[Martinntoxx]

There are people who actually think this ripped off Black Ops?!

What a bunch of morons!

[thatgamer87]

Im addicted to CGR

[360RPGplayer]

wtf is this? a crappy black ops arcade copy?

(I'm entirely kidding for those of you that have lost all hope in humanity and think people are this stupid)

[sonicfan966]

"TOTAL CARNAGE! I LOVE IT!"

[bluesgurugod]

I'D BUY THAT FOR A DOLLAR!!!

NNGARRRR!!!

[DDRmania195]

review Total Carnage?

[holsson85]

4:28 lol eyeball flying into the air!

[aRi9977]

Just think of all those human lives wasted...

just joking, looks awesome :D

[eklipsegirl]

Wow! This is Berzerk with enhanced graphics and more enemies!

[WebVMan]

Smash TV... played on a PC monitor? That's just not right.

[riceoobxg]

Nation Red is another good homage to this game.

[ridge084]

EA should sue Midway for ripping of Black Ops.

[Crazybenjiwoo]

@ridge084 lol you retard.

[masterkill107]

NUMBSKULL!!! YOU ARE COMPARING AN OLD GAME TO A NEW GAME!!

[Gameslayer0]

@ridge084 You do know that Smash TV came out 20 years before Black Ops right? That mode in Black Ops was inspired by Smash TV!

[ridge084]

@Gameslayer0 I think everybody knows that.

[MunTre123]

@ridge084 you are one dumb motherfu**er, Dead Ops is a rippof of smash TV!

[ridge084]

@MunTre123 Blah, blah, shut your gob.

[MCPOSJ117films]

@ridge084 dumbass.



[chris07081]

this was the best game . ever.

[Craptron2000]

Can you finish the game? Or is it infinite ?

[chris07081]

@Craptron2000 yeah there are bosses at the end of every stage.

[posthumanfetus]

I like how maybe 200 people jumped up and yelled at that kid (and that other kid) who said this game copied Black Ops. Protip: If someone writes something extremely ignorant and attracts the nerd rage of 20+ people, it was a troll. By the looks of it, I'd say it was a pretty successful troll at that. I'm impressed.

[danhjnny]

@posthumanfetus . Thannnk you, i even got the highest rated nerd response comment. =)

[TommyStarss]

this game is so Lando !

[verace18]

Zombie Apocolipse and Dead Ops arcade were inspired by this

[masterkill107]

not just that

even neo contra was inspired by this.

[violethigh77]

2 joysticks no buttons

[ProtoMario]

Big money big prizes!

I'd buy that for a dollar!

Good Luck, you'll need it.

[ProtoMario]

Big money big prizes!

I'd buy that for a dollar!

[Juniversal]

This really makes me think of Dead Nation. Dead Nation is really like a throw back to this style of game. 

[lazzyJames]

Still play this game.

[smashbrosfan25]

I want this game but I don't have an Xbox and I don't want to buy the collection.

[MagFlare]

@smashbrosfan25 You DO want to buy the collection, actually. The Midway Arcade Treasures series is basically a retro gamer's wet dream and one of the highlights of the last hardware generation.

[smashbrosfan25]

@MagFlare none of the other gamees apeal to me

[MagFlare]

@smashbrosfan25 I'm surprised to hear that. Both Defenders, Both Jousts, Gauntlet, Paperboy, Spy Hunter, Robotron 2084, (Root Beer) Tapper, Sinistar... these are classics, and it's tough to imagine someone who doesn't enjoy any of them.

Oh, yeah, and Satan's Hollow! It even has Satan's Hollow, easily the best pseudo-Biblical Galaga clone ever created.

[smashbrosfan25]

@MagFlare i'm not thta in to old arcade games I like arcade shooters and beatem ups.

[MagFlare]

@smashbrosfan25 Well, I'd argue that there are a few excellent shooters in Midway Arcade Treasures 1, but I have to admit that if you like shooters along the lines of Gradius and Xevious then Defender and Sinistar aren't going to scratch that itch. I take it you're more into the Capcom Classics Collection series, then?

[smashbrosfan25]

@MagFlare no no when I say shooters I mean stuff like dead ops

[shirtlesszigfee]

Please review the arcade stick.

[negativespace261]

@shirtlesszigfee dont forget the cord attaching the joystick to the console.

[kingkarl12341]

@syxx573 most other people don't do it also for everyone of his videos he has it for like 2min things if it was longer it would be different but its just balls

[Airjet2582]

You should review the sequal, Total Carnage

[kingmkd1]

great game

[MagFlare]

This game is a loving tribute to satirical '80s sci-fi. Needs more Max Headroom, though.

[1995DrCrazy]

Zombie Apocalypse has the same style of play

[nemesixvselfifo]

i hate when a call of duty addicts come and say that eveything copied call of duty

[danhjnny]

@nemesixvselfifo . Everything copied Call Of Duty

[ErinTurco21]

@danhjnny YOU DUMBASS!

[ThrashMetalForces]

@nemesixvselfifo There is nothing in this cosmos that even romotely not copy Call Of Duty. Call Of Duty is the real alpha and omega.

[kkjwsmith]

@2010kobefan1 how?

[slaxor]

Aww, you didn't show off any of the bosses. They're the best part.

[NicolajBaltzer666]

That game sure look like fun man :D

[digioverlord]

so why was this and ultimate mortal kombat removed from xbox live?

[milkeabuser]

@digioverlord Midway went bankrupt. Then the rights for the XBLA versions were up in the air, so legally, they had to be taken off.

[digioverlord]

@milkeabuser ah that could pose a problem...

[zeroskater529613]

try total carnage its wayyyyyy harder and the suda squeal to smash tv 

[dside505]

Loved this game so much! It had awesome cover art also.

[antinodoctors]

Was that a hint at the very end that a Total Carnage review is coming next?

[concretespecial]

I wish I had an extra copy of Total Carnage for Super Nintendo. The sequel to this smash hit is excellent and I would love to hear Mark's review of it. Unfortunately, I have only one copy.

[dj9mhz]

MAN YOU TOOK DOWN MY COMMENT WITH 90 THUMBS UP WTF!

[JLMBfreafin]

@dj9mhz boohooo, what you're gonna do now?

[dj9mhz]

@JLMBfreafin I'm gonna blog about it. It's actually still there just down the list. ;:-)

[ZeroDragon]

We need a remake of this game with chainsaws, swords, riot shields with spikes and... FLAMETHROWERS!!! xD, Mark would buy it for sure.

[quaz225]

Man I remember this I owned (and still own) the snes version of this game it was so cool!

[whiteganser]

WHAT THE FUCKKK???!!! they totally copyd black ops? wat da fuck? dis is fucking bullshit

Just kidding. Fuck noobs.

[MrDonkeydong155]

@whiteganser What the fuck! What are you talking about fo---- wait a minute...  :D

[ioport]

I can't believe this isn't available for download on Xbox Live anymore. A damn shame

[concretespecial]

@ioport It may show up again once the rights to the midway titles are secured. They'd be crazy not to. This along with Robotron 2084 should definitely find their way back onto the Live Arcade.

[ioport]

@concretespecial I was sad to see several of my favorite classic games disappear from Live: Robotron 2084, Tapper, and Double Dragon mostly, which thankfully I downloaded while they were being sold but didn't grab Smash TV in time. I thought they were yanked due to low sales (indeed, I used to have to wait in the lobby for 30 mins or more before someone joined, which I still have to do with Streets of Rage 2 and Golden Axe), though maybe it was a licensing issue like you say. Hope they come back

[nedimkamis]

you where my best reviewer,but now you are getting lame.whats whit the ipod,sega saturn and that crap,wheres the pc,ps2,ps3,xbox360.

[MonteGameReviews]

@nedimkamis uh, the titleof his show is CLASSIC game room, he reviews CLASSIC games as well, which are just as, if not much better than the modern titles.

[PUTSAS]

@nedimkamis

Ipod whats that.

Classic game room is from atari to Wii. So you will see hear most the time retro games, otherwise this is not for you.

[Sbrff]

@nedimkamis are you retarded?!?! CLASSIC game room?!?!

[Gameslayer0]

@nedimkamis You do know it's called CLASSIC Game Room right?

[fastyf1]

When you make the review of GT5 Part 4

[77Fortran]

@fastyf1 It's delayed 5 years. wooo!!!!!

[ridge084]

Omg there's a secret game in Black Ops that this totally rips off!

[liamrenn]

@ridge084 your a fucking idiot

[ridge084]

@liamrenn no u

[munchie64]

@ridge084 No you really are....

[ridge084]

@munchie64 no... u

[paladin400]

you can easily figure out this game was released WAAAAAAAY before black ops by just watching the GODDAMM graphics. think before writing your comments in the future

[heckisraining]

Really? Really. COD Noobs=Troll Face.

[Gameslayer0]

@ridge084 You know this came out 20 years before Black Ops right? That mode in Black Ops was inspired by this, not the other way around.

[Magnus1567]

Insomniac games put this in Rachet and Clank Future Crack in time calling it "My Blaster Runs Hot The Game" and Quark was the charcter u played as lol

[PuksisKissa]

I had this game for Play Station one. I tried to fuck with it, but the game fucked me! No way you could complete this game with one life only!

[VirtualDynamite]

Id buy that for a dollar!

Review Total Carnage next

[cyclo1224]

THAT IS RAD!!!!!

[JihadBITCHS]

mark i have to say i love your voice and how you have thaf long pause between words. a dvd of you reading a phonebook would sell

[andoc]

I remember this one. It used to kick my ass so hard.

[spoilt14]

I FUCKING LOVE VIDEOGAMES!

[CygnusRising001]

Great game! I love how it references the dystopian future movies of the 1980s.

[gbrendel]

Is that a hint that a review of Total Carnage is next?

[Starxxon]

SMASH TV? More like STRETCH TV! (the aspect ratio is wrong in this video)

[Gameslayer0]

@Starxxon It's the original Arcade version's aspect ratio.

[Starxxon]

@Gameslayer0 No it's not.

While the game engine is indeed producing a resolution that is close to 16:9 (410 x 256 pixels), it's intended to be shown on a 4:3 crt monitor, meaning that it doesn't use square pixels.

Sorry but it's just obvious, circles look like ovals and squares look like rectangles in this video...

It's probably not Mark's fault, it wouldn't surprise me that Midway has f*cked up the aspect ratio on the PC version since they forgot that non-square pixels ever existed.

[Packers909]

Too bad it was taken down from Xbox live after Midway went under...

[RDMChris]

Nice review. I wonder how many people could beat this game with one credit? :o

[Sac077]

I dont know if it was intentional but i loved the Total Carnage reference

[pzzn]

Sure enough that game was as hard as it looks. Its you against a whole army coming at you from every direction in a very small tight space. Makes you think and act fast for a chance to win big cash and tons of toasters.

[HubbsTheThird]

I'd buy that for a Dollar!

[curiouscolt81]

Big money... big prizes... I LOVE IT!

[Timeflare123]

Oh god I remember playing this game with my cousin :O

[FobbiesAreOwnage]

I have this on my snes! :D

[limitsora69]

okay we get it guys, you wanna be in the military where you can get your balls blown off and have your ear drums explode

good luck having your parents signing that form :)

[Bosquez88]

So this is where they got Dead Ops from

[Progearspec]

NO WAY!! Since what's left of midway is now under warner bros maybe it's time for a update to smash tv ~_^

[DeltaPhi79]

This game was before my time... AND I STILL LOVE IT.

[legobaxter]

Looks like Dead ops arcade XD
