Excerpt from Genesis Game Guide by The Scribe

NAME:             Terminator series (3 titles)
AUTHOR/VENDOR:    Probe Software
RELEASED:         various
TYPE:             Shooter
LANGUAGE:         English

PREMISE:          In the future, humanity is trapped in a desperate battle
                  for survival with its own creation - the SkyNet computer
                  system, which has deemed mankind unfit for survival.  To
                  that end it has created (among many other weapons) the
                  Terminator series of cyborgs - souless killing machines
                  which cannot be distiguished from humans until it is too
                  late.  SkyNet's data banks have predicted its ultimate
                  demise at the hands of the humans, so it launches a last
                  desperate effort to survive.  By mastering time travel
                  and sending Terminators into the past, it hopes to kill
                  off the human leader John Conner before he can grow into
                  the deadly threat to SkyNet's existence that he will
                  certainly become.  Based on the hit series of films that
                  made Austrian actor and former bodybuilding champion
                  Arnold Schwarznegger an international film star.

IMPRESSIONS:      What can I say?  The games fail to live up to the
                  excitement of the original movies (especially the first
                  one), but they get better as they go.  By the time the
                  last installment rolls around, which is the best of the
                  lot, you wonder what took them so long in coming out with
                  a pretty decent game.

VARIATIONS:       According to creator James Cameron, there should be no
                  "the" in the title of the first film - it should just
                  read Terminator.  The extra word was added over his
                  objections by the film studio prior to release of the
                  movie.  By the time the second film rolled around, he had
                  gained enough clout to ensure that the objectionable word
                  was dropped in the sequel's title.

                  Terminator 2 - The Arcade Game (1992, released by Arena
                    Entertainment - inferior port of the original arcade
                    shooter, almost impossible to play without a Menacer)
                  Terminator 2 - Judgement Day (1993, released by Flying
                    Edge/Acclaim - first of the side-scroll action games
                    and the inferior of the two)
                  Terminator (1994, released by Virgin Games - second and
                    best of the side-scrolling action games)

                  Fans of the series may also want to look at another game
                  released for the Genesis - Robocop vs. the Terminator.
                  See separate entry for more details.

This game was wonderful ...very very true to the movie, it allows a handicap if you are getting use to the controls and all around pleasure to play, even a newbie!

well sadly/happily I had the unfortunate pleasure of playing the sega cd version of this game prior to the genesis cart :( ...but with knowing the difference we can assume that if I would have played them in the correct order I would have been brimming with joy!

Terminator 1 is a nice game. It's a bit too short, but the gameplay is great

T2:the atrcade gamen is a great game, great graphics, great gameplay and very challenging; It's almost impossible to beat if you don't have a joystick (you always have maximum fire power) or a menacer. It kept me busy for a long time

The only thing going for this game is that it's not Generation X.

A game that's fun for a day, then seems to collect dust

I've hammered these three games and here is my opinion.

Terminator - Great platform fare, if you don't like to go and explore or get bored with repetetive shoot outs then ignore this one - I yhought that it was repetetive at times but overall great fun.

Terminator 2 The Judgement Day - This game is great but REALLY suffers from poor playability, Flying Edge really screwed up on this one as it was really nearly there.

Terminator 2 The Arcade Game - This one really is a different beast, the baddies come at you Dynamite Duke/Operation Wolf style and is okay even without a menacer yet not as good as the aforementioned titles.

Terminator versus Robocop however is the best of a good bunch as its more playable and fun
