It's not a video game, but I always enjoyed looking at Space 1999. I think BBC2 actually re-broadcast it in 1999 itself!

The moon's been blasted out of the Earth's orbit by a nuclear blast, and now hurtles through the galaxy like some kind of giant Starship Enterprise/Starbug made of rock.

Quite glad the nuclear explosion never happened in reality, as well as the revival of 70's haircuts.

The year is 1999. Television has adapted to the more violent nature of man. The most popular form of television remains the game show. One show in particular has dominated the ratings. That show is SMASH TV. The most violent game show of all time. Two lucky contestants compete for cash and prizes. Each contestant is armed with an assortment of powerful weapons and sent into a closed arena. The action takes place in front of a studio audience and is broadcast live via satellite around the world. Be prepared. The future is now. You are the next lucky contestant!

I must agree, that is a far more horrifying outcome than a prime-time death arena.
