The Terminator is a 1992 side-scrolling action-platformer for the Sega Master System, developed by Probe Software. Based on the iconic 1984 science fiction film, players step into the boots of resistance fighter Kyle Reese. You must battle through the post-apocalyptic ruins of 2029 before traveling back to 1984 Los Angeles to protect Sarah Connor from the relentless T-800 cyborg.
Your objective is to navigate hostile environments, eliminate enemy machines or thugs, and survive long enough to alter the future. Use the Arrow keys to move and aim. Press the Z key to fire your weapon or use explosives, and the X key to jump. Enter acts as the Start/Pause button.
Ammunition and health pickups are scarce, so learn enemy patrol patterns rather than rushing forward. Take care during platforming sections; falling off the screen often results in instant death. Save your grenades for tougher enemies like the Hunter-Killers in the future stages.
