| history | Total Carnage (c) 1992 Midway. A pseudo-sequel to Williams' superb 1990 shoot-em-up, "Smash TV", Total Carnage is set in a futuristic parody of the first Gulf War. General Ahkboob, himself an obvious parody of Sadam Hussein, has set his vast army of infantry, tanks and BioGenetic Mutants onto the world. 1 or 2 players must fight through the enemy-packed levels, rescuing reporters and civilians as they go. Total Carnage retains the dual-joystick control of its predecessor, but introduced new weapons, enemies and large, scrolling levels to the original game-play. As with "Smash TV", Total Carnage features the infamous 'Pleasuredome'; accessible only if players manage to collect the 220 keys that are hidden throughout the game's levels. Total Carnage has a much higher difficulty level than that of "Smash TV". - TECHNICAL - Midway Y Unit hardware Main CPU : TMS34010 (@ 6.25 Mhz) Sound CPU : M6809 (@ 2 Mhz) Sound Chips : YM2151 (@ 3.57958 Mhz), DAC (@ 3.57958 Mhz), OKI6295 (@ 8 Khz) Screen orientation : Horizontal Video resolution : 400 x 256 pixels Screen refresh : 53.20 Hz Palette colors : 4096 Players : 2 Control : Double 8-way joysticks - TRIVIA - Released in January 1992. General Akhboob's role as a parody of Saddam Hussein becomes obvious during the game's cut-scenes; as well as him saying slogans from "Smash T.V.", he makes an obvious reference to the original Gulf War by announcing that 'all we are making is baby milk.'. While playing the game, there is a message which says 'the pistons will rule the NBA'. This is a reference to the Detroit Pistons who Mark Turmell was a fan of. Coincidentially 12 years later, The Detroit Pistons would win the NBA Championship. - UPDATES - * Rev 1.0 * Rev LA1 - TIPS AND TRICKS - * Password : enter the password on the 'red and white' warp at the beginning of the first mission.
