Sequel to SMASH TV, this adds scrolling screen gameplay and a whole slew of warps, passwords, and Gulf War parody to the original concept! The game is VERY long and will test your patience. Through 3 long missions, you (and a friend) can attempt to overthrow or destroy the diabolical General Akhboob and snuff his goal to create monster minions from his nuclear plant. Plenty of enemies, weapon upgrades, bonus items and keys to the Pleasure Dome (you must get at least 220) await you, as do special bonus prizes (not sure how to get all of them). Also, at one point you must evade execution by electric chair! One other plus in this game-- the use of bombs (via Start button); use these against the bosses; otherwise they take WAY too damn long to bring down. Decent enough but overlong sequel to Smash TV-- which is itself a spiritual sequel to ROBOTRON 2084!
