So Long, Midway, And Thanks For Smash TV

Spent loads of money and time on the game in the arcade and spent more time on the game on the snes. Excellent game, totally agree. And who can forget the host lol, 'I'd buy that for a dollar!'. Hehe, good times.

Nowadays a platform can’t fail without everybody knowing about it

Some ugly designs amongst that list.

Some of these consoles have really weird looking designs and controllers, especially the View-Master Interactive Visions and Bally Astrocade.
