Smash TV was great. it was the sequel to Robotron, the first twin stick shooter. there was a third game called Total Carnage that was in the same vein. those games were hard (Robotron hardest) but playable with a lot of practice. the Ikari Warriors games and Guerilla War were unrelentingly hard as soon as you start. those were the games that had spinner-knob joysticks controlling multi-directional fire.
heres an interesting tidbit for you gauntlet fans. since both gauntlet arcade games were hits, there was a 3rd gauntlet game that got approved for development. but while the game was being made, the Midway company got bought out by Bally. the new management scrapped the idea of a 3D gauntlet and made the game a sci-fi shooter instead. the final product was called Xybots.
