Terminator 2: Judgment Day (C64) Longplay "Trained"1991, Ocean, Dementia

Terminator 2: Judgment Day (C64) Longplay "Trainer Version" played with C64S emulator for DOS
--
A platform game with top-down perspective levels that was published by Ocean Software based on the earlier NES version by LJN. The game was released in 1991 for the Amiga, Amstrad CPC, Atari ST, Commodore 64, DOS, and ZX Spectrum. Each version features very similar levels. Versions of the game for the aging Commodore 64 and ZX Spectrum featured very primitive graphics, compared to the other platform releases. The game is loosely based on the film of the same name. The objective is to save the leader of the Human Resistance, John Connor, and his mother, Sarah, from the T-1000, a mimetic poly-alloy Terminator, bent on killing them both. -wikipedia
The game consists of several actions parts linked together. All parts are different, each resembling typical games of the genre (for example: 1st level is like a side-view beat 'em up). Between each level a small cutscene from the movie is shown. -mobygames

The nostalgia is strong with this! Every level brings back so many great memories I was like 7 when I got this game and my Commodore 64 for Christmas. My parents set it up for me in the corner of my kitchen and I stayed up playing until what felt like the middle of the night on Christmas night (it was probably like 10pm). Many fights with my older brother about who's turn was next. Oh to be a kid again! These video games had a certain charm that just isn't there with modern gaming. Thanks for the upload!

@Blaine Jalen Thanks for your reply. I found the site on google and I'm trying it out atm. I see it takes a while so I will get back to you later when my account password hopefully is recovered.

[@TheSlashfan85]

@@InternetSlumlord well I did say that i was kid in my original comment! But I have revisited these old games several times - still play Streets of Rage on my sega. Always loved that era for games, my age is irrelevant. Every year games improved and it got really exciting. Ps1 was just around the corner. Internet as we know it didn’t exist yet, music was amazing, no social media and online bullying. It was a great time era. Don’t get me wrong some of today’s games are amazing - I’m a huge Red Dead Redemption fan. But some of the old games definitely have a charm about them.

[@davidprice7162]

Came here because AVGN just cock teased me with it, but ever actually showed the game!

[@tapset]

Same here

[@Kitsune986]

It's not his fault. He couldn't get the game to work.

[@rt3455rr2]

This game is my earliest gaming memory. I was 4.

[@Jayce_Alexander]

You guys had a terrible start in gaming then. Yikes.

[@scottmccready8529]

This was the first video game I ever played special place in my heart!

[@oscarjimenezgarrido7591]

@@Jayce_Alexander Says you. I was around 16/halfway to 17 when this came out and I personally enjoyed both Commodore versions, the 64 and the Amiga, quite a bit. Your opinion is just that.

[@oscarjimenezgarrido7591]

@@scottmccready8529 Not the first here by a long shot (that was Pong, actually) but still enjoyed it for what it was. Great graphics and sounds on the Amiga, too.

[@Klynch111]

I remember when me and all the kids from our street all had commodore 64, and there was the one copy of this game that was passed amongst us. No one could pass the lorry chase stage, I was the first to do it by memorizing the pattern, everyone was amazed 😂 good memories

[@craigdavies5424]

I was 11 years old and this game I played to death... How the C64 seemed like that's all that mattered, completing those games and wow such graphics..... At 40...im envious of such naivety..

[@paul75609]

This was the only game (of several!) That I had on a cartridge that you slotted in the back rather than the tedious cassettes....seemed so advanced at the time🤪😂😣

[@ahlads]

Had it on tape, tedious to load

[@wezite1983]

Yeah same! I think it came with the 64.

[@hardmodefbl]

*AVGN missed out this one*

[@Dragonrider1227]

Yeah. It was nice to see someone got it working

[@Eldaaa]

Omg i could never get past level 2 😂, would love to try this again 30yrs later..... awww im old now

I wish James got this one to work. It looks rad.

[@youyo2205]

I know I came here to see if anyone had a copy that worked

[@hothmandon]

It said on the screen to turn the disk over. Did James not do that?

Now James needs a working copy.

[@VitorRibeiro1990]

Same. Now I know why he never got to flip the disc to get it work.

[@markfletcher7383]

This took me back to when I was like 8 years old I could never gey passed the 4th level 😂 great video it brought back some childhood memories thanks

[@YesOkayButWhy]

Having a cool older brother brought me here.

[@bastairteile]

I had this, can confirm it was a genuinely excellent game. Just the right level of difficulty.

[@tifforo1]

Who's here from AVGN?

[@Frankcastlepunisher74]

Not me!

[@Brainhorn]

Doesn't look like the Nerd missed out on much

[@dentonscheibal3]

To be fair, it does look surprisingly decent for what we could've gotten on the Commodore 64, not a masterpiece at all but it at least looks like a fun little way to kill time with a C64 and the characters actually look like they do in the movie. (at least on the bottom screen, that must be the game's way to keep reminding us what we're supposed to be playing.)

[@spqninjapl]

Man I remember getting hard times with this one. Was hard as hell and the loading times was endless :D. Good old times ;)

[@cakebuu887]

This may be the first game I have ever seen play out with a sequence of events the same as the movie! Kudos from me.

[@oscarjimenezgarrido7591]

This was just the umpteenth example of that tried and tested formula for movie-to-game adaptations by Ocean, actually - look up Batman the Movie, Robocop or The Untouchables, amongst several other examples, all of which came out before this and also took each movie's plot and turned key scenes into individually segments played more or less in the same order than that of the corresponding movie. It was a formula that worked quite well and translated into a number of great games that also sold well, so you couldn't blame 'em for sticking to it.

Games were so hard back then couldn’t get past level 4😂

[@mmrassi1]

I was 9 or 10 playing this game, could only go till level 6! Im very happy now to see how ends!

[@superturbo2]

Got this game when it was new including a free T2 t-shirt! Too bad the game itself wasn't any good and I was also disappointed that it didn't look as good as the Amiga screenshots on the back of the box. :p

[@ivaerak]

How could it? Amiga was 16bit! But even so, graphically the C64 version looks miles prettier than Amiga version.

[@superturbo2]

No it didn't, far from it. C64 gfx is great for a C64 but still cannot compare to even more basic Amiga gfx.

[@ivaerak]

@@superturbo2 cmon Amiga version art direction is all over the place. They mix actual video movie cutscenes with cartoonish caricature designed characters, in C64 version everything is wholesome across all sections.

[@superturbo2]

​@@ivaerak The amiga gfx might not look that pretty today but back then it was among the best gfx you could get. The c64 gfx may be more polished but the lack of colour and the low resolution made it look old and poor in comparision.

[@ivaerak]

@@superturbo2 You cannot say 8bit graphics is uglier than 16bit graphics just because of technology. It is about how you USE technology. Example: Last Ninja 2 looks gorgeous on C64 and looks like shit on Amiga. Why? Because person who made graphic art direction for Amiga port had no talent in using the best of what 16bit gfx can deliver. Having a same game on 16bit Amiga and 8bit C64 does not automatically mean the 16bit will look better. Take Stormlord for example. Looks beautiful on C64 and like shit on Amiga. Of course most games on Amiga look better than on C64 because people behind gfx art knew how to actually USE the advanced color palette and sprite density on Amiga. It is like saying all NES games are uglier than N64 games. They are certainly NOT. It comes down to specific art of specific game.

Funny enough, the C64 version was the best of the bunch - especially in the cartridge version. On the tape version the levels start out of nowhere!

Major nostalgia hit watching this! However the game play and graphics are pretty awful given that at the same time Street Fighter 2 was about to be released on the SNES...years ahead of this on every metric!

Been a gamer all my life this was my first game, on my first console (c64)

I never knew the C64 version had a Sarah Conner level! This would have been cool to have been included on the Amiga!

[@ryanlafferty5815]

first videogame I actually sat down & played all the way through, which set off a lifetime of love for videogames, tbh this puts a lot of modern games to shame , fun wise, ....these days I'm an older fps freak, I'll never forget games like this, like listening to clapton for the first time (if he was into c64 coding instead of guitar)

Not going to lie, but the T-800 and T-1000 fighting in just their base forms is pretty fcking cool.

[@RonnyMandal75]

I think the thugs at 9:35 also starred in Target Renegade. At least they resembles each other w.r.t the jaw. I always thought of Robert Z'Dar while playing.

[@deoranjed8118]

Funny thing about the later C64 Games is that many games were released with very little sound or no sound like at all like "Steg the slug", or was it "dizzy down the rapids"?? But anyway for some reason they were incredibly lazy with sound at the end of the C64s life.

[@Borisz80]

Why was Sarah's escape from sanatorium not included in the Amiga version?

[@CaptainRod1000]

Nostalgic, because it most certainly was, but I feel like this game would give me a seizure if I tried playing it today. And I have no history of any seizures.

I dunno if it was cuz I was a kid but this game was hard.

So funny when T800 defeats T1000… He just says boom and vanishes. 😂

[@wezite1983]

Your health isn't going down when it should! Why bother playing if your just going to cheat?

[@Jayce_Alexander]

Because this game is a pile of dog shit. At least this way people can see all the stages. It would be far more foolish to spend your valuable time on Earth trying to master this shitty game, than to simply use a trainer to show all the stages.
