LJN acquired the rights to a Terminator 2 video game after reading the film's script. The company said that the film license offered an array of gameplay possibilities and lasting popularity. The game was developed by Software Creations and published by LJN for the NES. LJN also published a version for the Game Boy. The company believed that players who owned an NES were also the same people who would own a Game Boy. Therefore, LJN chose to make the NES version a completely different game, offering players a variety. The NES version was released in February 1992, in the U.S. and U.K.

I appreciate how the creators of the game actually put some effort in the closing scene after the main boss. Not many games did back then, they would just end with a simple image on the screen

@Johnny Martinez true, fortunately internet wasn't around back then to see the endings before i beat the game so when I used to play my snes games i always imagined a cool ending only to be disappointed. Most Playstation 1 games weren't much better for that matter

This game is very well for NES, it really represent the movie scenarios , and it's entertained with only 8 bit , good point in the motorcycle runaway scene and the terminator final scene ,very good job

While not perfect, this is still a good game. And its one of my childhood favorites. What I like best about this game is the gameplay, the music, and how accurately it follows the plot of the movie. All in all, a decent movie based game. And that's saying a lot considering this was made by LJN.

that level is hard the steel factory especially with the moving platforms, you have to fight the boss there 3 times. and at the end, you have to punch him then he falls on his back, keep doing that untill the boss falls in the molten steel pots. then jump on the hook and go left, where sarah and john waiting for you... watch the ending (movie he says "there is 1 more chip" the nes he says no, there is another chip. i must go away or i am the future... that is never sed in the movie) but he says in the nes and the movie, i can not self terminate, you must lower me into the steel (no, its not lava as everyone on this planet says, its molten steel)

Thank you for uploading, i finally watched the end of it.

I've watched every episode of AVGN and I just recently watched the two part Terminator one and as I recall this game in particular didn't really look that bad from what I saw even though he did find some flaws. Now that finally watched someone play through the whole thing I can clearly see how this game isn't actually bad. It sure has its flaws and maybe it hasn't aged all that great, but it's not actually a bad game from what I'm seeing.

Actually on second thought this game is far better than I gave him credit for. Considering this came out on the original NES it's remarkable. I admit that it is by no means t2 the arcade game. But to be the game that it is on the console that it's on it's actually really good.

Such innocent times back then. Couldn't say "kill" on NES. Says "Get" instead lol. Was also funny to me how it looks like the T-1000 looks like he's wearing a mask. Still love this game though. Great playing and thanks for the upload.

I played it on a black and white TV for the first time. Little by little I beat the first level, but I couldn't figure out what to do then. I didn't know I could open up all those gates just by shooting... hm, there's an explicit hint in the film, though. I was 10. How time flies 😢

Always love reading your thoughts on the games you play. Watching the game was fun, the sprite work and sound are excellent and a very fair representation of the film, better than most on the NES. With a bit of refining in GP they could have had a classic rivaling Sunsoft Batman on their hands. As is, not a bad LJN game. Watching this gives me a little courage to get better at the game. Seeing you can stomp some of the enemies in the opening level is helpful. Well played my man. 🔥💪😎

It might be the Nostalgia Goggles talking, but I think this wasn't one of LJN's worst games. It followed the source material pretty well (with some liberties), and it is beatable.
