In two-player mode, it is fast, furious and fun. This is a faithful conversion of the arcade game and the graphics and sound effects remain true to the original with sampled speech and crisp explosions and gunfire.Īlthough Terminator 2 does not break new ground or offer a great deal of variety, it is perfectly adequate in the playability stakes. The early levels are incredibly tough, particularly when you combat the Ground Hunter Killer with its endless supply of missiles. There are seven levels to tackle including a van chase where you battle against a T-1000 in a helicopter. Sporting control options of mouse, keyboard and joystick, Terminator 2 is best played with a good mouse, simply because of the speed required. Sounds easy, but when you are surrounded by metallic madmen hellbent on your destruction and inflicting severe damage upon you, it can get very tricky as you try and counterbalance picking stuff up and killing the swine. They appear in kit cases and you must click to open them and click again to obtain them. Along the way, there are a whole host of pick-ups to gather including extra credits, protective shields, and a plethora of destructive firepower. You start with a machine gun and 25 guided missiles, which are best used sparingly. These include Endoskeletons with rifles, machinegun-toting Cyborgs, acid-chucking laboratory technicians and various devilsome airborne craft. Using a point-of-view perspective, you target a gunsight at a host of baddies and blow them to smithereens. But young John has a guardian angel (you) and your job is to protect him from the said evil.

The story (for those who have not seen Arnie in the film) is that a terminator sent from the future to kill the leader of the resistance, Sarah Connor, failed miserably and now the enemy is targeting the future leader, Sarah's son John. And the folk of Los Angeles are relying on you and your mouse movements to do the business for them in this fraught and very frantic shoot-em-up. Nasty machines not dissimilar to C3PO from Star Wars. The survivors of the war Judgement Day (the nuclear fire) live only to fight the machines. Lost Angeles in the year 2059 is not the happiest of all places (nor is it in 1993, apparently). Well, I will go to the foot of the stairs.
