I heard this game was going to be a arcade game but the t2 gun game was done instead.

[@TPkills]

I honestly can't believe you only have 34k subs, with the quality and quantity you should have 10x that many subs Keep the videos coming, their much appreciated 👌

[@FridayNightArcade]

Thank you for the kind words. What I can tell you is that I sincerely appreciate each and every person who is subscribed and/or watches the show regularly.

[@fensoxx]

I agree wholeheartedly. Friday's this is the first video I watch above all else. Just a friendly, interesting, perfect length road trip through videogame memory lane. I'm very happy it exists.

The Sega CD was always a weird console in my mind. Sega didn't know how to properly make games for it. I think they could have made more games like Terminator, but tried to force the FMV games on the consumers. Great video btw!

[@FridayNightArcade]

That's a great point - I would have liked to have seen more games like this where it's like okay, let's just make a really really good platformer with excellent sound quality and some cool FMV cutscenes thrown in. FMV could have been a supplement but shouldn't be what the whole core gameplay elements were based around.

[@TheDutchGhost]

It wasn't just Sega who was at fault here. There were few developers who really made use of the extra space and capabilities the Sega CD offered. What most developers/publishers did was just take a 16-bit game, add a level, some new music, and occasionally some cutscenes. Only a handful of developers decided to make games that made full use of what the platform had to offer, games that could not be done on the 16 bit or at least not easily. FMV was this current trend at the time and everyone expected it to be the future. Thing was, most FMV games were absolutely terrible as a game primarily focused on videos offered little gameplay possibilities.

[@robintst]

Wow, it's going for 85 to 100+ dollars now? I bought this game heavily discounted at retail a few years after it came out for about 15 bucks. It really is an awesome game and that soundtrack is masterful.

[@xj0462]

Out of the 90s Terminator games I've played (NES, super Nintendo, Genesis, master system, Sega CD)I think this one is the best of them (not like it had much competition though)

[@SylentEcho]

Wow! How did I ever miss this game? It looks gorgeous and I'm gonna be getting it for sure. Thanks, man!

Damn fun game. Tommy knocked it out of the park with the soundtrack, too.

[@orinanime]

Love this movie. The Sega CD was one of the few games based on it that was pretty good. I still have a few of my Sega CD games. But unfortunately my cousin broke my Sega CD years ago.

[@MisterDozer]

Thanks FNA. Always enjoy your stuff. ✌️

[@affansonicfan]

2:34 That. Is Freakin. AWESOME!

[@GamerThumbTV]

I streamed this entire game and it's possibly my favorite Sega CD game. That soundtrack is mind blowing.

[@Vichedges]

The Sega CD isn't exactly known for great games though. And I say that as someone who got one for Christmas when they first came out and then bought another one late in the Sega CD's life so I could play Monkey Island. My friend and I got them for Christmas the year they came out, when they were $300 I think, although it might have been $400, I can't remember at this point. But soon enough both of ours was collecting dust. I ended up trading my original in on some other games but then later on bought another one after I saw a few cool looking games. Turns out the games weren't that cool, definitely not worth what the system cost and the Sega CD really was Sega's first big blunder. IMO the damage the Sega CD, 32X and Saturn did to Sega's rep killed their hardware sales. Nobody trusted them to actually support a system after that. My Sega CD players got far more use as actual CD players than for playing video games.

[@Gambit771]

@@Vichedges It isn't known for great games for those ignorant to it. I had one and had a fantastic collection of great games. No excuse for buying shitty games that plagued every system.

[@travismcdowell8352]

I wish they'd make an everdrive that could play Sega CD!

[@pimento79]

Check out the Terraonion Mega CD!

[@seandavis7218]

As always amazing content and presentation on your video's. As for terminator on sega cd, it always looked like a solid game to me.

[@Sinn0100]

This, this right here is why I was a Sega Genesis/Sega CD gamer! Nobody in the industry was doing it like Sega and that sound was amazing. They did sell a version of this on the Genesis. It wasn't as long and the soundtrack of course wasn't as good but not bad.

[@zachmcclintock7431]

Great video, looks like the best terminator game out, the music on the game did sound pretty good....thanks again FNA!!!! Always a good job

[@FridayNightArcade]

Thanks, Zach!

[@GamerThumbTV]

Also, I spent like 30 minutes trying to figure out how to kill the Terminator at the end, not realizing that you just grab the shotgun to the left and one shot him...

[@beatsinmycrates]

They even give reese those cool nikes. They Genesis version is pretty good too. And I think much cheaper

[@classicmikecade]

Awesome Friday vid Aaron! I really feel that Sega CD could have been something but Sega just did everything wrong and it's a shame because I grew up with the Sega. Too many attachments, too many wires, bulky power sources...just bad but it did have some decent games. You may want to look into Shining Force CD. I've seen people play that and it's so much better than it's 16 bit counterpart. Have a great weekend bud. More live streams please! :D

[@Vichedges]

Yeah, I just posted about how the Sega CD was Sega's first big blunder. I was dumb enough to own two of them lol. I got one for Christmas when they first came out and then traded it in. Later when they were being discounted I bought another one but had the same outcome....the games were mostly mediocre or bad and didn't justify upgrading from cartridges. And the "video" on those things looked like hot garbage even back then. I remember playing Sewer Shark and just thinking how shitty it looked and played. Mine were mainly used for playing music CDs and collecting dust. Oh, and Golden Axe and Columns. Sol Fecius (or however it was spelled) was good too but none of those games needed to be on CD.

[@darklink1113]

I was lucky enough to have this back when it was released, and I loved it. The mood, the music, the outstanding butter controls and shocking graphics. Twas hard....very hard. I loved the overcoat too! Parallax scrolling eye candy.

[@Warriors423]

I definitely need to play this game. I was really surprised when I found this game complete in the box for only $50 😵

[@elroysworldFR]

Subbed to your FNA Play channel.. You got a real chill vibe so I'm keen to see how that plays out (no pun intended) on the other channel! Thanks for keeping me entertained when I should be sleeping!!

[@ZetaEntity101]

I played this game as a kid it was good memories

[@williamdancer5649]

Do you own all the games you play or do you emulate any of them? I’m fairly new to the channel so maybe you’ve already said. Also have you done a gameroom tour ever?

[@johnnybensonitis7853]

The description tickled me.far.more than perhaps was warranted 😂

[@snake7686]

This game went up in value, on ebay it goes anywhere from $100 to $400. My brother bought it in 1999 for $5.00 with everything, manual, box, game. Still got it 👍

[@The_Bad_Guy.]

Never played this game. Played the NES and SNES ones. They were.... Ok haha

[@iankempster7007]

Never knew about this game. Great video as always.

[@Hektols]

If this system only had more games like this.. Most developers didn't know what to do with all the extra space of the cds. Cartridge games had to be made with a limit of how big they could be, it was specially clear with arcade ports, full of cuts in animations, music, details and even characters and stages (I'm looking at the Sunset Riders for Megadrive). One of the main reasons Neo Geo games were so good (and expensive) compared to other 16 bits systems was that developers did't have that size limit for their games. The Mega CD could have been a perfect system for arcade conversions, no limits to space and identical or even better sound quality.

[@neuromancer9k]

This video makes me wish I still had my Sega CD unit. I'm sure it would still function. lol Cheers, Aaron!

[@garyaldridge5574]

Wait did I miss FNA saying I’ll be back? Surely there was one in the review....haha. Highly enjoyable review!

Great work!!

[@cicada._on._all._fourz]

I don’t own a whole lot of sega CD games, I own this own and will never let it out of my collection! This game is awesome and still worth the $100 asking price!!

[@metroidmayhem8463]

I forgot the pants moment lol. For reals that gameplay looks crispy and smooth very nice

[@theusher2893]

[@Mikey-zj8bn]

When I was a kid I got this instead of lunar and snatcher(dident know what snatcher was at the time but I did play lunar) still consider it a good buy

[@natejoe9924]

I was an 80s baby but I remember the 90s my birthday is 1986 although I love old games I don't think any old games is worth any big price even $50 I can buy brand new game for that price

Excellent! 🤖

I still have this game.

[@colinmcdonald2499]

I had a Sega CD for a few months back in 1993 or 1994... Dormmate next door neighbor rang up a big gambling debt on football bets. Gambling debt as it was I loaned him a hundred or two and asked for his Sega CD as collateral ( I had my trusty Genesis) He had no decent games for it or was tricky enough to keep them held back with his shitty collection of hair metal, which he knew I never looked through past his alphabetized Poison LPs. Anyways he got his debt paid off and paid me back and got his Sega CD back. How I wish this game was in his collection. I never even knew it existed!

[@scottedwards8220]

It's a great game with an awesome soundtrack.

[@fabrizio-6172]

Thanks

[@rjnc60]

Cool to see you do a CD game.

[@mustangjonny069]

Please do an episode on "Outlander" it's the best genesis game they ever made. It reminded me of a mad max-esque game. But it's the first game I remember where you could first person drive car that you could find parts to upgrade its performance and looks. But then you could pull over and get out of the car and fight 3rd person villains with your sawed off double barreled shotgun. It was so unique for the times. Please check it out. It should make for a great episode.

[@brycevo]

I'll be back.

[@Vichedges]

$150 bucks? Man I'm so glad I quit collecting physical copies of old games. I do not get the appeal of paying huge amounts of money for old games just so they can sit on a shelf and collect dust. `150 bucks for a Sega CD game? lol. Just lol.

[@FridayNightArcade]

Well and it's not like that excess money even goes to the developers 30 years later. It's just some other shop or person price gouging a "collectible" item. That's why I don't frown on emulation as much as some. If a game isn't available in an official capacity on some modern day platform like a Wii Shop or virtual console or Steam or whatever, emulate the F out of it. Sure, original hardware is always going to be better, but some of these games are only being preserved through the process of emulation at this point because they're so hard to find and the company that made them is out of business or hasn't made them available on some sort of modern platform. Like if you go to a mom and pop retro shop and pay $200 for a boxed copy of Chrono Trigger, that money isn't going to the developers. It's just going in the shop's pockets.

[@Vichedges]

Friday Night Arcade yeah and many games that people are curious about and are high prices collectibles are terrible games. The people who “frown” in emulating a 30 year old out of print video game probably have a financial stake in vintage games. I used to have a huge vintage game collection but I rarely played any of them. They just sat in boxes in my house. I have great memories of NES but the fact is most of them today just aren’t that fun to play for me. The only vintage games I regularly play are Tetris 2(highly underrated IMO) and Super Tecmo Bowl, which is still as fun for me as it was in 1993 or whenever it came out.

[@johndeveau2949]

I can beat this game without dying once. Also, I paid $9.99 for this game and I still have the receipt. Ha.

Hack a Genesis mini and add the entire library...works well with proper controls

[@INFINITESYKOSIS]

Sorry about my late reply.?. My Terminator time machine was slightly damaged ️ ☹️

[@treyslay753]

Just burn a copy onto CD-R. Sega CD contains no copy protection.

[@natejoe9924]

Yes I like playing old games but there's no way I'm spending $50 even more than that for a game

[@natejoe9924]

$150 for one game with that money I can buy a brand new game with the season pass so I'm getting more content and I might even have something left over to buy a small indie game

[@johanoberg1157]

The graphics and music are great but the gameplay could have used some work

[@natejoe9924]

I can go out and buy a brand new game with the season pass and everything
