Released in 1992 for the NES, Terminator 2: Judgment Day is an action game that loosely follows the events of the blockbuster film. As the reprogrammed T-800, you battle through a mix of side-scrolling combat levels and isometric driving sequences to protect John Connor from the relentless T-1000.
How to Play
Your objective is to survive the varied stagesโranging from hand-to-hand brawling at a truck stop to outrunning a semi-truck on a motorcycleโand ensure John Connor’s safety. You control the T-800 using the arrow keys to move, Z to punch or fire weapons, and X to jump. Use Enter to pause and Shift to access your inventory or change weapons.
Tips
- In the opening brawl at the truck stop, rely on low kicks or repeated punches to keep enemies at bay, as the hit detection can be unforgiving.
- During the driving stages, focus entirely on avoiding obstacles and the T-1000’s truck rather than trying to attack; survival is simply a matter of memorising the route.
- Conserve your ammunition for the final encounters in the Cyberdyne building and the steel mill, where close-quarters combat is too risky.
