Oliver, you did such a great job on this. I actually learned things I didn't know! It was a bummer when we found out we couldn't be "The Terminator" in the Terminator game, but thankfully game licensing has improved greatly over the years. I met James Cameron may years later, and I just wish I could have talked to him before we made the game. I personally love the Terminator universe he created. One other thing, this was our first Sega Megadrive game, we literally were reading badly photocopied instructions in Japanese trying to work out how to program the console. Crazy time.

I loved Terminator 2029 on my 486 as a kid, a really unique experience at the time

I had the Master System version. I remember buying both it and Robocop vs Terminator with my birthday money like any self-respecting 12 year old in the early 90s would. Both were excellent. The Master System really was the little console that could. From Mortal Kombat to Batman Returns, they really did try to get everything on there!

Terminator, Shinobi and Alex Kidd in Miracle World were the first games I got with my master system. Oliver is not wrong it took me months to beat the first level in it and once i did that I was able to clear the game straight away

The Sega CD version is still one of my favorite games of all time

Have you played Future Shock, Oliver? It's brilliant. I played it back in the day and loved it. It's one of my fondest gaming experiences. I think it would deserve its own retrospective review.

The Terminator Sega CD soundtrack is among the best of all time, and sadly unknown to most people.

Always a consistent amount of care put in these retrospectives

The only video games about the first Terminator movie that I knew about where the NES, SNES, and Sega CD versions, mainly from watching AVGN. But I got to say, this was really fun and interesting watching you talk about the other versions of games based on the movie. Makes me wish that James Rolfe hopefully revisits the Terminator games someday and explores the rest of them. Speaking of which, are you planning to do another video like this but for games based on Terminators 2, 3, 4, and 5?

Thank you for mentioning Journey to Silius. It's a pretty good game in its own right! it also has one of the best soundtracks for the NES at the time, Stages 1 & 5 is a proper banger.

dude, I've been curious about that pc terminator game from 1990 since back then. I saw it in a magazine back then and never heard of it again, thanks for the video explaining. I've always thought it must not of been that good why i never heard of it again and now i know 👍

Stella production value as always.

I really like the "Cannon Films" intro/logo.

I found this video enjoyable and interesting. I was particularly interested by the cancelled NES The Terminator game, which I had never heard of before this video. Maybe a superimposer/video input device add-on could have been made for the NES to make "Dragon Lair"-like games.

The Terminator is the greatest sci if film ever made with T2 being the greatest sequel ever made. Quite the achievement by Mr Cameron

SkyNET did it for me. Captured a real vibe from the first movie.

Great video, Oliver! I'm going to have to give several of these a try.

oliver reviewing games is always good

The T1 MS-DOS is easily my favorite of the movie based Terminator games. Its also IMO the closest to the movie because while the setting is bright you have to actually hunt for weapons and equipment then find Sarah instead of of just automictically getting your gear and locating Sarah when you reach the correct stages.

Great video, Oliver! I think I blotted out the memory of the NES Terminator game. I can now see why! 😉☮️😎🤘

I loved the Mega Drive Terminator games, always borrowed my friends copy of 1 and would've saved money buying Robo vs Terminator the amount of times I rented it out. Wish I'd played the Mega CD version that looks awesome.

I'm surprised how much the UK Sega CD version shot up in price. It feels like only yesterday I bought it for a fraction of that! The Mega Drive one holds a soft spot for me. I feel you hit the nail on the head with how repayable it is, especially as one gets older.

Great video! I lived the times of these games releases. SegaCD version was always the best IMO.

Awesome work Oliver always love your passion on reviews about cinema and games, much info and details . Cheers

these are really good videos. and i love the cannon style intro

The Terminator on the Megadrive was awesome...too short but a great cool game.

0:02 Brilliant parody of the Cannon Films logo. You should do 1 at the end of a video which you pop your head out of water and say, "I'll be back!". I love the Terminator franchise. I would have loved to have played the 1992 Sega Mega Drive game of The Terminator. I remember seeing the advert of the game on my father's VHS recording of the 1992 ITV broadcast of Red Heat.

I LOVE this video before I even see it ! Thank you so much for that !

So many undeserving channels with millions of in subscribers. You deserve that Oliver I adore your videos.

The Sega CD game, the arcade game and the newer Resistance game is actually pretty rad! I always laughed when the terminator says he wanted a plasma rifle in the 40 watt range. That's pretty weak LOL. Maybe 1,400 watts would be more likely to get results.

Was really hoping to see more than a mention about the 4 other Bethesda Terminator games as unlike most of the other games here I haven't played them.

love the canon style intro at the beginning

Excellent video, very fun and informative :) My favorite of these games is definitely the Mega Drive version. The Mega CD version looks great and I really dig the music, but it was a bit too frustrating for me. I was happy to have played through it once, though. Hope you'll do Terminator 2 next!

Back in my childhood i never played Terminator 1 game based on the first movie. In fact, i never knew the first movie existed until much later, when i got my very first PC in my teenager years. Thus i started with Terminator 2 and played games only based on that movie. The one on NES, where i got stuck on bike riding levels, and the other one is a port of arcade rail shooter T2 The Arcade game, where i got stuck where you need to protect a truck, on a road to skynet, while it been attacked by terminators and hunter killers. I also had this massive book with cheat codes and guides for NES and Sega games, and it is there that i saw screenshots from another Terminator 2 game for Sega's console, based on second movie, that was a action game, and not rail shooter. And it is also there, where i saw the screenshots of the first Terminator game, based on movie. And after that i was interested to see the first movie, but i never saw it on TV, until i got my very first PC. And then one of my friends brought a disc with both Terminator movies, and we watched both movies back to back together. I was 13 years old at that point and... in comparison to the second film, with which i started first until that moment, first movie was very dark and brutal and less funny. I even got mixed feelings about it, and felt like it was too boring for me. But the second movie was a blast to see again, but not on TV but on my computer and without ads. It was fun experience. These days i think that both movies is cool, but back when i first time saw first movie, a long after i saw second movie, i thought that first movie was boring.

Great video!! I would definitely like to see this style of video game review again with a different movie

That intro!!! Excellent. Immediately clicked. Terminator 1-3d is lyfeeeee. Thank you Oliver!

Awesome intro!

I think the Bethesda games deserve more attention. They presented many very interesting innovations things back then. As with many Bethesda games the biggest flaw were lots of bugs. They tried to do stuff that just was too much for the available technology when the games were released. Still pretty impressive and ahead of its time. Also I'm sure those Terminator games were an essential step for developing the technology and concepts for The Elder Scrolls. So they might not be widely remembered nowadays, but they have an important place in gaming history. Greetings from Germany :)

Great retrospective on The Terminator, a few years ago they came out with Terminator: Resistance for Ps4/Xbox One. It should be checked out for Terminator fans.

I just realized that the "CSM-101" reflected in the Terminator's sunglasses stands for "Cyberdyne Systems Model 101"

I love the new logo and the canon films tribute

I adore this franchise ever since seeing t2 actually first but these days i prefer the synth soaked 1st game its just gritty, stylish and one amazing thrill ride

Another great video 👌🏻

The thing about the Terminator game on PC was it was an open world 3D game long before Grand Theft Auto. The streets of L.A., you could go into stores, banks, army bases, drive cars, etc. Everyone was dropped randomly into the level. You played as the Terminator or Reese. Did it work?. Yes, but not well. Still, it was trying to be GTA before GTA. Back when Bethesda really tried to innovate. I appreciate failures more than companies who don't try at all. At least they tried.

the gensis one has my fave soundtrack for a gen game and is such a fun quick game

Great Work!!

I remember trying a game boy game called Terminator 2 in the 90s. Nothing seemed to happen at all. You get a sniper's view of a future landscape but I couldn't figure out what I was supposed to do.

Well done Oliver!

Nice logo in opening. haha love it.

I had the Terminator on SNES PAL, bought it in a german video store :-) Thanks for this great Video!

I've used Tommy Tallarico's Terminator music in my videos before, and one time he told me in a comment that it "took him back." 1:02 / 26:12 Michael Connell Biehn glancing over the name "Michael B. Connor." 10:56 Hey! Those battle duds aren't Tech-Com issue! 17:04 Those are more likely supposed to be the model 102 based on Franco Columbu, one of Arnie's bodybuilder buddies from back in the day. Or rather, they should be, to make it more authentic to the movie. You can play as the Franco/model 102 Terminator in 'Terminator: Resistance'. 18:58 Why can't Kyle climb ledges like Conrad Hart from the original Flashback? 20:39 It just occurred to me that that's also reminiscent of the ending to Another World/Out of This World.
