Super Smash T.V. on the Sega Master System is pure, chaotic arcade fun—if you can handle the jank. You’re dumped into a futuristic game show where you blast waves of enemies in maze-like arenas, grabbing cash and power-ups while dodging bullets from every direction. The controls feel a little stiff compared to the arcade version, but there’s something charming about the chunky sprites and frantic two-stick shooting (or in this case, button-mashing).

First few minutes? You’ll die. A lot. Enemies swarm from all sides, and the screen gets so crowded you’ll barely see your tiny character. But once you get the rhythm—dodging, weaving, and praying for a spread gun—it clicks. The announcer’s cheesy one-liners (“Big money! Big prizes!”) somehow never get old.

It’s not the prettiest or smoothest port, but if you’re into brutal, old-school twin-stick shooters, this one’s a weirdly satisfying time capsule. Just don’t expect mercy.
