This (and Wizard of Wor) are both fantastic games - I especially enjoy the fact that in Smash TV the high score does not reset (you just lose some points) when you continue, so you have incentive to keep trying to best your high score even if you suck like me and die a lot. Don't forget to search for those pleasure domes, either!
As Racket indicated, the podcasts (yes - two!) this month will both coincide with Together Retro. The first, for Smash TV, is an especially good one. Mark Turmell and Eugene Jarvis were both kind enough to offer their time and recollections of Smash TV for the show, and that podcast should be up by the middle of the month (I still have to do Jarvis' interview and mix the whole thing together). In any case, Smash TV fans have something extra to look forward to!
A few other things on Smash TV:
-Turmell suggested that outside of the 360 or Arcade Treasures versions, the SNES port was the best, and the NES one was actually one of the worst of what he'd played.
-If you do have the Arcade Treasures collection, there are some really interesting video interviews with both Turmell and Jarvis included as a bonus feature. (Also, if you have either of these collections for the PS2 and would prefer the Gamecube version, shoot me a pm to set up a trade as I prefer the dualshock controller!)
-There's a great text interview with Turmell on Gaming Age, in which he talks about Smash TV amongst some other things:
