I had a dream last night where I was playing the Terminator 2 arcade game. Then I find that this video was put up in the morning! Coincidence ... Yes, absolutely!

[@CasperUK31]

Just a note, MS DOS wasnt the same thing as MSX. You kept saying MSDOS and showing an MSX machine. MS DOS was the operating system for the PC, not a standalone computer line (MSX)

Sega Genesis was the first version of The Terminator I was introduced to, I still recall being so surprised at how short the game was after beating it one weekend when I rented it from my local video store. Oh memories... haha! thank you for the video!

[@jimbowlan5804]

@Mrey23 I forgot rental stores rent sega games I guess cause after 1996 I got a ps1

[@Mrey23]

@@jimbowlan5804 oh dude, rental stores had ALL games at the time for rent :) the 80s and early-mid 90s were so great.

[@wstine79]

The t2 arcade game was awesome, even if I couldn't get past the opening truck sequence. I finish the game on the Sega Genesis version. The Robocop vs Terminator game was a favorite.

[@jimbowlan5804]

I just beat it a few months ago at the adult arcade near my house it’s got this and alien vs predator arcade game

[@cursedmonkey1033]

Future Shock, though not based on a particular movie as such, is excellent and deserves a dedicated video. Way ahead of its time.

The DLC mission for Terminator Resistance, The Annihilation Line, is directly based on the first film. The Terminator: Dawn of Fate is also based on the first film

T2:Judgement Day for Sega was my first introduction to terminator. I rented it, and couldn’t get passed the 3rd stage. But it stuck with me. Rented again then couldn’t get passed level 5. After that I got addicted, I eventually bought the game and beat it. It’s a grueling hard game with 1 life and no continues. But I loved how faithful it was when I finally saw the movie, and was surprised at the stuff they threw in to make it something more. That started my love for the terminator movies and even beat it again about 2 weeks ago. I’m still a die hard terminator fan.

[@hiltwo]

@sirianfelixbrightonesquire3247: I had a similar experience playing that game with my best friend :) I feel the same way and also still play it to this day!

[@kyeskyy]

NEW SUBSCRIBER: as far as your question about which one of these games introduced me to the terminator games. Honestly, it was this video I wasn’t cool enough to grow up in the area of playing these type of games on the NES however, I’m definitely going to find a way to play them now. Love the channel. Glad I’m a new subscriber.

[@JoBloHorrorOriginals]

Welcome aboard, dude!

[@ChaseMC215]

Betheada managed to make a Terminator game feel like an RPG at times. Think about, people. You have to find weapons, money for weapons, find a mode of transportation, and you have to dispatch a foe. It's basically a Terminator RPG, although not really, you still have a overarching objective, so it isn't really giving the player complete freedom unlike in something like Skyrim or Fallout 4, where you can do random missions tonlevel up in the open world of Skyrim or Post-War Boston.

[@Emulous79]

The Megadrive game was fun back in the day. It brought me back.

[@judsongaiden9878]

8:52 "The Terminator had already gone through." ~Sergeant Kyle Reese, Tech-Com, DN-38416 12:23 It even accurately depicts James Cameron's favorite color scheme! 13:00 'Journey to Silius' and 'Crystalis' both have great soundtracks. 13:30 The Sega CD one. Ever since I was an '80s kid in the '80s, I thought Michael Biehn was the epitome of rad. 14:39 How and why did that strike land on the left side of the Rev-9's face and not the right side? 16:24 Why are Terminators wearing '90s clothing in 2029? Did they forget about the T-102 portrayed by the late Franco Columbu in the first movie? He wore the "rag" type of clothing that most people in that time and place wore who weren't Resistance or Tech-Com members. 19:24 Another classic with a great soundtrack. 21:21 Arnie should be shooting left-handed there to be more authentic. The reason he did that in the movie is because most motorcycles have right-handed controls. There was at least one mil-spec motorcycle that was made (during World War II) with left-handed controls so a right-hander could fire a weapon while driving. Everyone was trained to shoot right-handed back then. 25:01 Either the Sega CD one or the newer arcade lightgun game that has a lightgun with a grenade launcher.

[@CTEagleCeltic]

It was the lightgun arcade Vers for me… still remember the cardboard stand-up.

[@filmbuff2777]

The computer version of T-2 (with the fighting, driving & puzzle segments), was my first introduction to the series. You also missed out on a Sega Master System version of The Terminator. I absolutely loved Terminator Resistance. I was surprised by how much I did. I remember seeing the negativity about it before it was released because the company that released it did that awful Rambo game not long before.

[@Spikeland]

Terminator 2 Judgement Day on NES was my first Terminator game and i loved it i still do

[@chumpyman]

Great video, seriously. I Love licenced video games and longer videos on the subject. Cant help but feel that Gremlins is overdue a new game.

[@turkish2515]

My first experience was the terminator on sega cd, and I agree it's really good, especially for the time. I still have my sega cd and my games from my childhood also still have T2 on snes

[@flashg643]

Theres like a PC Terminator screen saver/accessory bundle or something, i bought it at a thrift store it was in a big box for like $10 and gave it to my brother

[@TonyBoomgaarden]

I had T2 chess back in the day. Ahh, memories. I always thought the actual T2 arcade game was the best, though.

[@retrogamerecluse]

Wow, this is the first KZbin video I've watched which has ever talked about the original 'Terminator' game on the PC. I had that and played it to death! Interestingly, it actually came with a 'graphic violence warning' here in the UK due to the 'end scenes' when you potentially kill Sarah or Reece. Also, it was a rare game that you could 'complete' in less than five minutes if you were lucky enough to run into your one main opponent (i.e. the T-800 or Reece) straight away and get a good shot on them. Personally, I just had fun going into gun stores and seeing how many times I could click on 'steal weapon' before the shop owner called the police (and if you took out enough police officers, the army was called in - they were tough). Cheers! Great video - thanks for the mega member-berries!

[@frankbizzoco1954]

The Sega CD version ruled my snow days off from school. I would beat The Terminator, play outside, make hot coco and hop over to the Snes and play Super Empire Strikes Back because you know...snow. I would rent the other T1 games, but none of them could compare to the Sega CD game. I couldn't even beat the first level of the Genesis version lol. I think there was one for Game gear and master system too, but not positive.

[@uhohstinkypoopyfunny6499]

WHY DO YOU KEEP SHOWING THE MSX WHEN YOU SAY MS-DOS

[@soulweaponx6644]

I sincerely hope that a developer for these current gen consoles are watching. We got a decent Terminator re up of an older game, but it would be nice to get a game that isnt 1st person and uses the characters from the films. At this point, I would even settle for a Lego Terminator game lolo!!!

[@ScarysReviews]

Piranha 2 is great, and proves Cameron is the sequel master, as Aliens is fantastic and T 2, phenomenal.

[@bladebrown4191]

I got bailed out by Game Genie for the T2 NES motorcycle scene. That level had me stressed out 😅

[@Merylstreep1949]

Oh man, Battle chess! I so played tha hell out of that on my Amiga ❤

[@thecunninlynguist]

Rented the genesis version. ...was mad that weekend

[@Xegethra]

Future Shock and SkyNet were also made by Bethesda. Although they aren't based on any film.

[@TimKaysNerdcrate]

Great job on the video, especially for the movie's 40th anniversary. But sadly you made a big, glaring and repeated error: It's ENDOskeleton, not exo. It's an INNER skeleton. Endo = in Exo = out Think surgergies: An exoscopy of the knee wouldn't make much sense either, right? 😅 Keep up the good work. Tim

[@mattjenner6225]

No mention of the Sega Master System game? That was my first intro. Disappointed you missed that one.

[@razieltalos]

T2 the arcade game was the peak of the game franchise

[@tidymonkey81]

i played the mega drive version a silly number of times. it was well good. i used to play just the title music on my dad's stereo.

[@gypsydildopunks7083]

Penguin Land may be the best puzzle game ever developed

[@arcane6465]

Terminator two on superintend, it was the best one

[@Waffles2-107]

Cameron got the idea for Terminator from a dream? Sure he did 👌🏻

[@SuperD0077]

@9:40 Holy sh** Heisenberg's company made the game? Was it before or after he sold his shares?

[@nbttl1975]

Was Arnold not included in the OG Metal Gear as well?

[@rickisgrate]

I never got past that 2nd level on t2 for the NES, absolute waste of a rental at the weekend when I was 8

[@KuRixd_]

suprised to see its the same synthetic dimensions that developed Ed Hunter for Iron Maiden

[@What_evil_lurks_in_the_shadows]

Terminator: Resistance 2019 released was really fun game And some point need to buy RoboCop: Rogue City they just released from the same makers too

Resistance is a must play for any Terminator fan

Very cool..manythnx ✌️

You twice put the photo of a MSX 8bit home computer when saying MS-DOS...

[@hiltwo]

Human error :)

[@MrGuitarforyou]

I played the shit outa T2 on NES when I was a kid. Could never get passed the driving section.. finally did it then lost on the next level lol. Should try it as an adult and see if I can do it.

[@BlindingSun_]

T2 on Amiga was awesome

[@optimusphill6377]

What about the Master system Version?

[@kidgruesome407]

i always wanted to play future shock.

[@jamieisjabba]

01:40 is wrong, the idea for terminator was stolen from two different shows in the sixty's where Harlan Ellison had wrote both scrips for two different sci fi shows, Cameron admitted to stealing these ideas to make terminator, also Harlan Ellison found out due to a magazine interview and sued the production company and won $70,000 and got his named added to the intro and credits of terminator on vhs and laser disc releases, encase no one knows Harlan Ellison is the guy who made (I have no mouth and I must scream) and was a script writer for (B5), there is a interview clip here on KZbin where Harlan Ellison explains all this himself look it up.

[@mrzaphf]

Well done but these kind of "clip show" episodes doesn't work for me

[@bashthefash420]

You missed the T1 game on master system

[@laurenced2916]

Terminator Resistance was the best

[@sotiredofyou]

Good video but...dude. verbs in the passive tense. You gotta break that habit. "Would become one of the greatest-"no. Became. You said would for no reason so much that for a minute I thought you were an interior designer from the 80s (lots of wood paneling. Even on station wagons- it was a weird time)

[@danjohnson6876]

You missed the game gear one. It was impossible

[@phorz85]

Sega also had an 8bit mastersystem version of the genesis game - which also was better than nintendos.

[@foxdavani4091]

Got the quality in the movie clips to show in the game are so bad that if I had not seen the movie, I wouldn’t know what’s happening. The quality looks like it is two 40 x 3 60 but stretched out to 640. No scratch that. It looks like it’s one 28 x 1 28. Stretched out to six 40 x 4 80. That’s the equivalent of blowing up a postage stamp. Dear God, how do you consider that mind blowing? That’s not mind blowing that is what the fuck are we looking at quality lol

Blood Dragon is the best Terminator game.
