Terminator 2: Judgment Day is a 1992 action beat ’em up developed by Software Creations for the NES. Unlike the on-rails arcade game, this adaptation has you playing as the T-800 in a mix of side-scrolling brawling and challenging isometric motorcycle driving stages as you attempt to protect John Connor from the T-1000.
How to Play
The objective is to fight your way through locations from the film, such as the truck stop, hospital, and Cyberdyne Systems. Use the Arrow Keys to move or drive, Z to jump, and X to punch or fire your weapon. Press Enter to pause the game.
Tips
- Preserve your ammo: Firearms are scarce in the early levels. Rely on your punches and kicks to take down standard enemies, or jump on them to deal damage without wasting bullets.
- Watch your step: The controls can be sensitive and the T-800 tends to lurch forward when walking. Practice your positioning carefully during the platforming sections.
- Non-lethal takedowns: In certain stages like the hospital, remember John Connor’s rule and avoid killing the security guards. Shoot them in the legs for a non-lethal takedown instead.
