NES Longplay [059] Terminator 2 - Judgement Day

[@jjthecat9692]

I remember waking up one Christmas morning with this game in my stocking. Always holds a special place in my heart because of that!

[@marc3981]

Completing this game as an 11 year old was one of my greatest pre teen achievements.

[@xxdeadchannelxx]

It's actually much better than games nowadays.

[@TheBigChad]

I remember when I went to FSU back in 2008, we would have competitions in my dorm to see who could get through the game first. Captain Planet was a great one as well. I spent my college days getting drunk, playing NES till 7am just in time to crawl into class and do the bare minimum till finals.

[@marianobarbeito8798]

For those who could not beat the 2nd stage note that ammo is infinite. Always stay in the middle shooting the fence ando shoot back the truck .you'll pass the stage eventually

[@mikeKidLazy]

Am I the only one who found the soundtrack of this game to be pretty scary at times? Especially on the last level... but indeed it is really awesome, the atmosphere created by the music is incredible.

[@gerunimonaturalrunningmini4535]

Mike KidLazy the music is what made this game for me. Such lively memories

[@doodledangernoodle2517]

Everything the Follin Brothers touched was chiptune gold.

[@grinishkin]

Have you heard Alien 3 for NES?

[@mikeKidLazy]

@@grinishkin I did play one of the games in the Alien series, not sure if it was 3 or a different version. Will definitely have a look. Thanks.

[@grinishkin]

@@mikeKidLazy this is one of the scariest NES games with an amazing atmospheric soundtrack. And yet it is called pt. 3, I don't think there were any games from Alien series on NES. Or at least being that popular

[@stoltobot]

This brings back memories. Great use of the NES sound chip. Not to mention some VERY tense moments on that bike level!

[@bes5164]

i absolutely love the game! amazing graphics, great soundtrack, great atmosphere, superb sound....:)

[@djsmith3000]

This seems like a great game. Got a variety of different objectives. Plenty of action, great cut scenes. Before anyone starts bagging this game, look at the other terminator games of this generation. At least this one follows the story.

[@perseon9231]

2019 This put me into tears So much have changed 😢 I miss those days 😭😭😭❤️💖

[@cryocadaver]

i could never beat the bike part. i sucked.

[@Wanzer84]

Same here...lol

[@documentalium9425]

me too

[@daveshen0880]

Ken S. I beat that when I was only 12-13 years old, of course I failed many times to beat. And I am now 36 years.

[@TurtleboyTom]

I never knew you can shoot back at the truck.! I couldn't get past that part either.

[@ramirodam]

Ken S. Me too haha

[@penkatadrums]

I used to play this game a lot when I was a kid. Only got past the motorcycle level once...

[@doomvictor3934]

This game was fun. It's better than the other games based on Arnie's movies, Predator and Total Recall.

[@Alexey65536]

Level 2 had a secret. By shooting in one of the broken cars you could get a continue.

[@drcvagos-iu]

I've been searching for a video like this, I wanted to remember this game so much :)

[@ryanawasilewskii]

same here glad i found the right game

[@Terminatorfan-2016]

Dude, the music in the hospital level definitely fits the environment lol. Creepy as hell. If I were running around in a mental hospital to this music, I'd want to be an indestructible machine instead of a human running around there.

[@captainjamescook6366]

Music is on point in this game 🤙 every level has its appropriate sound.. I keep youtubing for the soundtrack alone..

[@gourjj]

One of the best nes games i ever played

[@captainjamescook6366]

The music was a stand out in this game

[@peteriliev]

One of the best games for NES!!

[@harikrishna7253]

What is the gba pleaseeeeee tell me

[@dontpanicau7495]

Soooo many times I reached the final boss fight. As a child I never knew how to beat him. It all seems so simple now.

[@SadamYT]

Probably the best soundtrack in a NES game.

[@THEREALGAMEMASTER-gz5xg]

ever heard Of Journey to Silius OST?

[@doodledangernoodle2517]

I love this soundtrack and others by the Follin brothers with a burning passion, but there are much better OSTs: Journey to Silius, Treasure Master, Batman 1 and 2, Shatterhand, and Mr. Gimmick. This one is definitely the most atmospheric in my opinion. It sets a great mood for the game. Only thing it’s missing is the Terminator theme.

[@meatballmeatwad5730]

The sounds and music were so strange and atmospheric for an nes game

[@TheAxelay]

Speaking of Journey To Silius, they made a rom hack remake of it's original Terminator 1 guise here before the project got canned into Silius. It's decent rom hack of the original game blue prints to the best of the hacker's ability.

[@mprashanth911]

Beating t1000 was quite an achievement for gamers at its time :)

[@RaduMarius]

even now it gives me chills when i look at the video and it's sound.. damn what a great time it was

[@WielkiElektron]

this game was hard but good :)

[@hideshisface1886]

This game seems to get a lot of flak, but I honestly found it to be surprisingly decent. Yeah, it is flawed, but you have pretty solid graphics, surprisingly fluid animation for NES standards, good music, atmosphere of the movie is well preserved and key scenes are all in there. Gameplay is also not ideal and suffers a bit from changing things up just when you are starting to get a hang of it, but what is there is actually pretty solid.

[@Vaisin]

This game is actually older than ''The Terminator'' on NES. This game was released in 1991, and ''The Terminator'' on NES was released in 1992.

[@frataltay4543]

Nintendonix December 1992. Almost 1993.

[@pyramidhead138]

its funny how after you beat the first level you acquire clothing when your already wearing it. they "cheated" the clothes on cause they didn't want some naked guy running around beating people up.

[@pyramidhead138]

chuckobscure please spare me the grammar trolling

[@CommanderTato]

This game need a romhack to fix that part :P

[@sylvesteryoung2514]

7:01 I need your clothes, your boots, and your motorcycle

[@perrymehta6438]

Sylvester Young you forgot to say please

[@Rschr101]

Oooooh!

[@TheAxelay]

I've only ever beat this like 3 times in the early 90's and I've memorized all the levels but the steel plant drove nuts at times with it's erratic platforming parts. But this actually a pretty good game, far from perfect but it has it's moments especially when you complete a level and the mission parameters right. The soundtrack is highly atmospheric and tense. An underrated movie tie game with some problems but is still a blast to play.

[@peterkrug2327]

7:00 I remember playing this as a kid and when I got to the first level boss I tried ducking down and punching and punching and punching...and he just wouldn't die. I could never figure out what I really needed to do to beat him. It sure would've been nice if there had been some in-game hint that you need to punch and then jump over him and then punch again. Also it seems pretty dumb that your character, a T-800 terminator, would have such a hard time beating a human who's just a head taller than it.

[@matthatter56]

Wow I never knew how awesome this game actually was never got past the 2nd level.19:58 HOTLINE MIAMI? Seriously the beginning of that music sounds like something that would be in Hotline Miami.

[@CopiousDoinksLLC]

This is a weird game for me: I only ever played it once at my Aunt's house for a couple of hours. And even as an 8 year old, I could tell that there were serious problems with it. The weird part is that it's not even a crappy game, as far as Nes titles go. It was just really, _really_ hard. I recall as a kid thinking: "This is ridiculous. Nobody should be asked to endure this mess." It was vindicating to learn that the rest of the world agreed with me.

[@socialtrend9383]

11 years ago I was playing that game with out any fear and stress now in 2021 my life is fucked ,still missing those days, i don't know why why this time is funking every thing of my life, this video reminds me my 2009 10 11, every thing is lost now, there is no mind peace, joy, happiness, enjoy i need to get those days back in my life

[@ImpromptuLeapfrog]

Why are there multiple copies of either Jason Vorhees or Rick Taylor (from Splatterhouse) shooting at the Terminator in the various rooms of the Cyberdyne building?

[@kumicopen]

Timestamps: 0:00 Title Screen/The Story 2:07 Level 1: Truck Stop 8:10 Level 2: Drainage Canal 11:32 Level 3: Pescadero State 18:32 Level 4: Cyberdyne 28:31 Level 5: Steel Mill

[@MDthornton83]

I remember this game. In all honesty, I thought this game was rather decent. Mind you, it's not the best. But nor was it the worst. It was decent compared to the atrocity that was Terminator 2 for the SNES and Sega Genesis. And surprisingly, this was one of the VERY few decent games that LJN made back in the day. But there are a few things about this game that are lacking. And while this game is pretty short and only five levels, at least it stays true to the movie's ending. Which is more that can be said for the SNES and Sega Genesis versions.

[@frataltay4543]

MDthornton83 Duck Tales has 5 levels too and everybody loves it. I think making a game short is not matter. At least it is good. Something you don't except from LJN.

[@aryinc]

@@frataltay4543 theres is some gold to be found at the end of the rainbow. ljn had moments for sure. this beeing one of them. the game had something. the soundtrack absolutely does what i needs to. sets the bar for a terminator game. has this creepy mechanical thing going on.

[@narne3330]

Blue guy in second level freaks me out when I was a child...

[@ANIELBUITRE]

el mejor juego de NES , the best game of NES

[@tomjackson1370]

The only LJN game where it actually follows the movie. The only thing missing is The Terminator theme

[@xxdeadchannelxx]

I think they didn't include the theme because of licensing issues.

[@brandonperez8977]

​@@xxdeadchannelxxthe SNES version has the theme

[@xxdeadchannelxx]

@@brandonperez8977 Yeah. And it sounds horrible.

[@k.o.d.7362]

Memories Had This Game Love The Ending

[@LukesGamePage]

Defintely a lot better than the other NES Arnies - Total Recall, Predator, Running Man ect.

[@sergioferrerca]

Siempre lo recordaré con mucho cariño y añoranza.

[@benbrennan4953]

Always thrilling and scary AF when the T1000 would run after you in the hospital!!

[@dextervortexsungte5348]

@ben brennan i remember i can't sleep and i don't want to hang out myself roam around at night lol

[@phlebiax5592]

Wasn't a hospital, it was a Psycho Ward.

[@Che_ster]

18:23 how you can get another weapon here, other than minigun?

[@brandonperez8977]

I think it depends how many people you killed instead of wounding them in the hospital

[@sainttrunks1982]

That last boss fight reminds me of the last boss fight with Doom on nes's *Who Framed Roger Rabbit.*

[@Vaisin]

To be fair, this game isn't that bad.

[@zaszlovjanos]

Agree👍

[@dominickjustave3558]

True

[@christrumptastic3161]

I saw ljn and was like........🤮🙄🤣

[@DucNguyen0131]

Ill planning a romhack of it that restored the intro script, coding and CHR graphics, as well as their own custom LJN logo sprite (which is intended for the publisher) that makes it similar to the prototype.

[@BluesElwoo2]

Owned this when I was a kid. It was an alright game. I remember liking it, and could beat it, but I always knew it wasn't the best game. I got it used before i saw the movie partially hoping my dad would be interested. He never was into video games and it didn't work.

[@BluesElwoo2]

This game is still better than T2 the arcade game, only because that game is total bullshit and not fair in a lot of parts. Im pretty sure it was rushed. Not nearly as good as Revolution X, the arcade version.

[@defblinders9585]

I rented this back in Summer 1992 from Blockbuster and could never get past that damn bike level.

[@thuglifeVol2]

This game is really good lol, it follows the movie very well.

[@ryan489]

The farthest I could get as a kid was stage 4. My dad made it to stage 5 once the one time we rented it from our local video store

[@Timugin_71]

Классная игруха! Дэнди 90е. Детство...

[@dokjyrsaa2287]

T-1000 looks more like David Bowie than Robert Patrick in 32:59.

[@Slawek361]

Come with me if you want to live! xD

[@ImpromptuLeapfrog]

Oh, and I think those guys in the first level were from River City Ransom.

[@notocar7326]

Me volví loco con este juego... Saludos desde argentina!

[@andersdenkend]

Woow, the music! Awesome.

[@Almaanac]

I had a lot of fun with that game

[@DarkSparkish]

The NES version is better than the crappy SNES version!

[@cubanref9670]

You took out that T 1000 like Super Mario takes out Goombas. 🤣😂

[@brandonperez8977]

It's because the game will take away your weapon, the T-1000 won't die and goes to his metal form if you only punch him, which he's immune of it, only jumping at him can let you push the T-1000 into the lava

[@viv4060]

I still have the game ( Cartridge ) my favourite stage is acquiring John Connor : )

[@vanessaviana4309]

Como faço para baixar esse jogo,uso emulador de nitendo

[@forman337]

I remember having this when it first came out.

[@sergioferrerca]

Es de los mejores juegos de la mejor pelicula que he tenio en toda mi infancia. En 1991/92

[@alfred68564]

they were on drugs when doing the music

[@omaryounis751]

maybe that's what made it so good

[@RedTsarOldChannel-INACTIVE]

I mean, that's what you should expect for the Follin brothers!

[@1ShawnHume]

I could never acquired John Conner. I was terrible at this game.

[@TheBigChad]

Same here hahaha

[@brandonperez8977]

Nobody couldn't beat level 2 that easily, the game goes to fast to beat it

[@JuniorBlitz]

Wow, a decent game from ljn

[@xxdeadchannelxx]

The Game Boy version was also decent as well.

[@Chaos2ThaWorld1]

WOW! Best game based movie EVER!

[@19TEC85]

Lol at how he destroys the T 1000.

[@Rares_G4H]

and in the movie the terminator used a grenade launcher

[@BluesElwoo2]

When I owned this as a kid, it was the only way I could beat the T1000, couldn't figure out another way. You would never have a gun at that point, and if you punched him, he destroyed you. Had to jump on his head. I thought it was lame back then too

[@peterkrug2327]

32:52 Shouldn't that be "T-1000 terminated"?

[@shane29ish]

just wondering on this level 4 how do you change gun back to same gun as level 3 i carnt do it when i start level 4 i always have to have the big gun

[@shane29ish]

dose any one know the anser to this how to change guns/ wepons during or before starting levels?

[@roymunson2733]

HASTA LA VISTA BABY.

[@MP-nq9ht]

This was a pretty good game considering its a movie licensed game on nintendo. And that its an LJN game.

[@tomasmoreno538]

This soundtrack is amazing much more better than the snes version

[@haveyboythebighuggerkid7733]

at least this is the ljn game that follows the movie perfectly (except for the bar boss fight).

[@andrzejdymek5563]

super gra i dobry klimat.

[@frataltay4543]

This game is good... one of the several good LJN games. I like it even more than T2: The Arcade Game by Midway. Also far better than mindscape's crappy terminator game.

[@MatthewTheWolf2029]

All in all, a decent game based on a hit movie.

[@robertaurochenta]

excellent classic,very good game

[@TheOxbigboy]

@@dextervortexsungte5348 the music conveys the horror really well

[@Matrioshka_Brain]

Damn, all these years I didn't even know we can shoot back at the truck. Never was able to cross that bike level. :|

[@xxdeadchannelxx]

It doesn't make it any easier since you have to squeeze through the gates and dodge debris in the level.

[@PH-im1kk]

Such an awesome game, a movie should’ve been made based on it

[@cozmicmojo2181]

Not a bad game once you get past the first level.

[@cozmicmojo2181]

Na, it's pretty cheap. I'd say the hardest level is the motorcycle level but it's pretty short. The graphics are a lot of fun.

[@cozmicmojo2181]

I remember the Sega one. Yeah it was pretty similar. I thought the music though was really goofy on the Sega version. The NES version music is a lot creepier even if the gameplay isn't as good.

[@mjoe1111211]

I spent hours and hours on this game until my nintendo got so hot that it burnt :D :D

[@somedeerboi]

This sounds different. PAL emulation?
