If Total Carnage was part of the Mortal Kombat world, this would also mean that General Akhboob (who's been voiced by Ed Boom) is sitting in The NetherRealm, waiting to be tormented.
One of the most underrated arcade games of all time. The campaign lasts over an hour, which is unheard of for an arcade game, and not a single second of it is boring. A lot of love went into this one.
Hurrgh, okay. Hats off to you Shadowserg, for completing this game. Honestly though, I'm kind of shocked in several ways. Just two bosses? And you literally have to slowly tear them into bloody gibblets, way beyond the point where they are technically dead. And a torture minigame at the end??? Fffuuuccckk, sick minds at Midway back then.
I honestly think those jumping purple guys were the purple friend now that I think back on it. I was always curious too who the purple friend was but it seems like maybe that's who it was supposed to be.
You forgot that bullet hells have a small hitbox for the characters. Also Touhou is more about getting a rhythm and a pace. You should check Cave's bullet hells, especially their TLBs.
Leondrius it's the spiritual successor, though it added scrolling levels as opposed to the locked down arenas of Smash TV. Total Carnage is fun, but it doesn't quite capture the magic of Smash TV to me.
Edit: 13:25 It looks like you step on that landmine a few times and don't die.. don't know if it's wonky hitbox or if you got super lucky or if you actually have God mode on.. Seems like there's a couple instances where those mini missiles on the final boss fight go through the character a few times. I always wondered as a kid if the bosses were beatable in this game without dying once. Now I know. I wish this game had more epic boss battles. Man, you got REALLY close to getting hit by Orcus a couple of times, nice fights! I still love how stupid bloody and gorey this game is. I miss the ridiculous blood and gore in games from the 90's, that spawned games like Mortal Kombat, etc. Games like Revolution X and Total Carnage and MK shaped me as a kid, lol. My one big gripe with this game is how short the weapon power ups last. You not getting hit by the final boss is impressive, this game was basically designed to suck up your quarters in the Arcade. I could never even make it to the final boss in Arcades because of how hard the game was. I've always wondered is the final boss actually speaking a language or is it just gibberish? Most arcade games back then you could never understand what was being said because of how loud those places were.
Hello Shadowserg! Long time i am not seeing your videos. What a perfection to play this super mad show without dying/hit! Also i want to suggest you to play Smash TV/Super Smash TV on nes/snes - it's the same game but are its sequel. Harder or not i don't know - but trust me it gonna be fun to play it.
Gosh, Orcus would feel light-headed and would eventually die of mass blood-loss after getting shot that many times but nope, he still kept going at it until you finally blew him to bits.
On The Final Boss Giant Robotic Heads Appearings: Phase 1.- General Akhboob's Head Phase 2.- Hitler's Head Last Phase.- Red Demon's Head Cons on Super Nintendo Version: -The Demon's Head is Changed to Green Color. -In Super Nintendo Version Does Not Appear The Hitler's Head.
Even for its time, this game is ruthless. Every limb and piece of each boss has enough health to be its own mini-boss at the very least, and you have to tear them from the boss bit by bit. I can’t imagine how long it must have taken you to do this.
Lain Hikaru Yep, I don’t think the flying vehicle boss was even taking damage until the level finally scrolls to the top. This game was designed to eat your quarters and it did, to the point where players gave up because it was so ridiculous. It was still pretty fun though...:))
It's weird this game didn't even get an Xbox Live port or modern port or anything. It was put on Midway Arcade discs but it's never had a Steam release.
Now that Saddam Hussein is long gone (December 2006) Midway could have reshaped the sprite and design of General Akhboob as the former dictator of Iraq. That would be cool, as an uncensored version of Saddam Hussein as the villain of this game!😁
Boss list:
00:10 Boss 01 Orcus
04:59 Final Boss - General Akhboob
Shadowserg
Just 2 Bosses!??
believe me...these only 2....where the most hard of all bosses on the entire world..you need like 50 or 60 coins to finish this game x.x
If Total Carnage was part of the Mortal Kombat world, this would also mean that General Akhboob (who's been voiced by Ed Boom) is sitting in The NetherRealm, waiting to be tormented.
I guess if a game is this hard, two bosses is all you really need.
Hitler
How many hitpoints should the boss get?
Midway: Yes
OVER NINE THOUSAND!!!
"Okay, how many final forms should the final boss get?"
"All of them."
And yet, your candy-ass of a supermuscloid is meatsauce in a single poke.
@@AnonPer And Throw in a giant Robo-Hitler head in because why the fcuk not?

There is a reason arcade games don't need to last an hour, and these 2 bosses are genuiney proof of that

i think the bad guy was more shocked than you to be honest
Well, what did you expect from the creators of Mortal Kombat?
It was 90's as shit. That's for sure.
Two words describe these bosses: Bullet. Sponge.
Purely designed to get quarters from kids
I can practically smell the 90s now.
And all this time, General Akhboob was actually a charred skeleton in disguise! Diabolical!
it's a damn shame we never got to meet general Akboob's purple friend
I honestly think those jumping purple guys were the purple friend now that I think back on it. I was always curious too who the purple friend was but it seems like maybe that's who it was supposed to be.
DEVS BACK THEN: There's no way the player will survive. We have so many projectiles on screen
PLAYERS NOW: _Laughs in Touhou_
Touhou fans really do believe in their imaginary world of "my game is harder"
You forgot that bullet hells have a small hitbox for the characters.
Also Touhou is more about getting a rhythm and a pace.
You should check Cave's bullet hells, especially their TLBs.
touhou fans knowing nothing about neither their games or others.
*laughs in Progear*
Wow midway just like Mortal Kombat. Way too many limbs when things explode, millions of pain sounds, and even a fatality at the very end.
This was before Mortal kombat
I find it hillarious that the final boss just says "But this isn't even my final form!" 7 times in a row.
Lol, first boss takes like 5 minutes of continuous shooting and then Mega Stalin-Hitler Cyborg goes "hold my beer"
always loved this game. The mutants and awesome weapons really drew me in back in the day.
This game is awesome, brings back memories
13:11 Red Skull impersonator.
12:09 This game just got banned in Germany.
Insane game play. A masterful feat
"Total carnage! I love it!" Is this Smash T.V. 2 or something?

The Arab I don't know, but the German words are real... Most of them make no sense though.
Talk about damage sponges, even the music got tired of the first boss and dipped outta there.
The whole game could be just one giant boss with multiple forms
First played this game at like 5, and Orcus scarred me so bad I remember him to this day, even though I havent seen him again until now lol
Yeah, it's crazy how a jumping head is following you with 2 machineguns screaming cause you're shooting him 😂,same thing
This game was awesome back in the day
When bullet hell games die, they get sent to Total Carnage.
Awesome job on some absolutely brutal bosses!
Well since you did this one, you could always do Smash TV (Arcade) as that one has a lot more bosses. Regardless, stellar job as always!
Surprised Lloyd Kaufman never got a shoutout by Midway for inspiring the bosses in NARC, Smash TV, and Total Carnage.
That fucking green tongue boss was the stuff of nightmares for me as a kid
This whole game was nightmare fuel for me 😭 I ran out of my house crying once bc my brother and dad were playing it on a big TV

10/10 good video :) 👍
Dang orcus probably gets the "I still have one HP!" Achievement
This and Binding of Isaac are my favorite games.
Truly An Amazing Play
Let… there… be… *CARNAGE!*
Gosh, Orcus would feel light-headed and would eventually die of mass blood-loss after getting shot that many times but nope, he still kept going at it until you finally blew him to bits.
That curly sound effect lol
yeeeeees jajajajajajaja
You mean at 7:03? That deserves a NYUK-NYUK.
Haven't heard of this game, but why does it look so similar to smash TV?
_(The player view, the bullet spam, the few gigantic wtf bosses)_
Koopa TroopaOne Same designer as Smash TV (and Robotron 2084) Eugene Jarvis. Smash TV is even name-dropped in the game.
Koopa TroopaOne or idk Contra!?
Same creators i am guessing!
T@wesomE just looked up smash TV I NEVER heard of that game
I know it from the consoles though originated from arcade cabinets,i have it on the midway collection for ps3!
Great quotes by General Akhboob: You suck at this game and I'll buy you for dollar you will fry.😂😂😂
I used to play this game all day at the Arcade
Loved this game
This game looks like one of those games from old 80s movies in the background
Me and my mate struggled on two player with this game.
TOTAL CARNAGE!!!
General Akhboob was using a scientist from Nukem High to make those Subhumanoids, wasn't he?
One of the longest boss fight ever...
That's how the original arcade made its $ back then
Yep...most all arcade games quarter gobbler's...that's the point though!!!
On The Final Boss Giant Robotic Heads Appearings:
Phase 1.- General Akhboob's Head
Phase 2.- Hitler's Head
Last Phase.- Red Demon's Head
Cons on Super Nintendo Version:
-The Demon's Head is Changed to Green Color.
-In Super Nintendo Version Does Not Appear The Hitler's Head.
General Akhoob's eyeballs should have popped out his head hitting the screen right before his head exploded instead of charring.
Score the world! Score the world! Score the world!
So much stuff going on the screen i'm awed you were able to shield/dodge the hits.
Contra+SmashTV=TOTAL CARNAGE!
😊😆😆
Though the game is fun, I don't like how the two bosses require SO many hits in specific areas just to damage them.
Great Work, this SMASH TV esque game looks so awesome. Would you be interested in doing a SMASH TV Challenge?
Yes, I'll do this game too.
This game looks brutal
Ahh the memories
03:41 Slow motion missile, bro.
Why are you so into the *Carnage*
16:08 Gen. Akhboob on an electric chair after being captured!! ⚡️⚡️⚡️
Holy shit the memories
Reminds me of a game for the Genesis
Did snes version and arcade version have different ending?
I saw this years ago at the arcade!
Let's just say day turned into night and I was out 30$ in quarters 😆😆😆
Even for its time, this game is ruthless. Every limb and piece of each boss has enough health to be its own mini-boss at the very least, and you have to tear them from the boss bit by bit. I can’t imagine how long it must have taken you to do this.
The boss fights in Smash TV were fair compared to these. Damn you for raiding my quarter supply, Galaxy Arcade...
Being a huge bullet hell fan I love this game,howhever I think some of those guys have way too much hp :p
Lain Hikaru Yep, I don’t think the flying vehicle boss was even taking damage until the level finally scrolls to the top. This game was designed to eat your quarters and it did, to the point where players gave up because it was so ridiculous. It was still pretty fun though...:))
What happened to the music in the first boss?
So this was basically Smash TV TurboChampion edition
epic!
Imagine if they made a movie of this game.😮
the bosses are so hard , i never past the first level
That Ending though
Best part.
SCHNELL!! ☠️
Why is it that orcus sounded like the shotgun guys from doom
This game pretty much amounts too: "What the fuck is happening on my screen?"
Like :)
There's something unsettling about Orcus.
I thought orcus was the final boss 👀
Wish we could CPS3 remix the music of this game.
My childhood ;)
Want it to come to the switch
Chance 0.1% ;')
It's weird this game didn't even get an Xbox Live port or modern port or anything. It was put on Midway Arcade discs but it's never had a Steam release.
I was never able to capture the scumbag after the final boss. Midway Arcade Treasures 2 anyone?
Bring the violence
It's significant
To the life
If you've ever known anyone
-Disturbed
All 2 of em
Red Skull!
Wich one is Harder? Total Carnage or Smash TV?
Frist battle is too hard!
Orcus reminded me M.O.D.O.K
Reminds me of a monstrous apple with an orc's head and arms growing out of it.
michael bay, the video game
I forgot how tanky these bosses were lol
I AM A PEACE LOVING CITIZEN
Wo brutal
I don't know what was midway smoking when te made this game
If Rambo was a mercenary.
....is it just me or does orcus sound like hes saying white power
Must be playing this on the Midway Arcade Collection Volume 2, because the goddamn music stops! 😤
Wait wasn't the Gameshow host a boss too?
Thats a different game, that would be Smash TV you are thinking of, same announcer i believe though
Same gameplay though right? Is it a sequel to Total Carnage or like a home port?
Pretty much the same style of gameplay
More like a sequel (just not a true one) after Smash TV had its run
13:03 = Final Boss Says: iss-iss-iss-iss-Iss-ISs-ISS-ISSS. ILRR... [ *He Transforms on Demon* ] and Next *Yells: AaaaaarrrrrGggghhh!!!!*
Now that Saddam Hussein is long gone (December 2006) Midway could have reshaped the sprite and design of General Akhboob as the former dictator of Iraq.
That would be cool, as an uncensored version of Saddam Hussein as the villain of this game!😁
What console was this on? Me and my twin are trying to remember 😂
There was an SNES version made by Acclaim.
This and smash tv were the best games John tobias and Ed noon worked on besides mk
Smash T.V. merge with Narc's
*pauses at 11:58 *
Eeyup! Already, u know dis game is banned in Germany!
2? I wish it was like 12... Lol!
