i've been starting a thread for each game i've picked up recently, and like having a depository for info on my cabinet... so i hope this isn't a bother, i'm going to do the same for games that have been in my collection
i get questions every once in a while, and my website has been down for a while (and never got any visitors) so here goes, my Smash TV by Williams (1990)
more info here, but i'll be cleaning this post up

I later removed the robotron boards and added a mame setup... so the multijamma switches between smash tv, total carnage, and mameNovember 17, 2002
alright, here's the deal finally on the smash tv that i got... its a dedicatd 25inch smash tv, with clay cowgill's multiJamma kit in it along with total carnage and robotron boardsets!
welcome to the home of my yet-unnamed mame machine... the plan of building a mame machine is actually what got me into this hobby, but i got caught up in collecting and didn't build mine as early as planned... this is actually my second mame machine if you count a cabaret ms. pac that i mame-ify-ed a while back, but that was primarity for ms pac... this is my first full-fledged mame super machine with ~5000 games to enjoy and all sorts of goodies...
i picked up this dedicated SmashTV in October 2002, and although it is too modern for my collection, i always liked the game and appreciated its robotron-esque roots... but it survived for one goal, mame! i figured i could make it an addition to this cabinet, so i wouldnt be ruining anything original, nor waste space in my "arcade" with a non-original cabinet... now this cabinet was perfect for a bunch of reasons: 25in screen (nice for horizontal and vertical games); big control panel permits lots of options; multijamma (included in the cabinet!!) allows playing SmashTV (and total carnage) on original hardware, or mame, all three at the push of a button... this is an ALL BOLT-ON upgrade to the dedicated cabinet... in an hour or so i can return it back to 100% original status... i recommend this procedure to anyone mame-ifying an original cabinet... any mame addition can be done without ruining a classic cabinet...
