I liek it when he reviews more than when he yells and cusses the whole time. I know that is the character he is playing, but it still is nice to see his calmer reviews. I generally like his opinions on games.

Part 2 should be entertaining considering LJN made T2 for the NES. I still have some nightmares about it.

Fun fact: Even though it's an LJN game... I actually enjoyed it and found the game to be very, very fun and challenging (and not because of sucky controls). I even beat it on a real NES!

Now the Genesis and SNES versions? Those can go eat a dick.

The ending...

Great episode... he doesn't cover EVERY The Terminator game, but if you're going for the bad ones, looking at the NES and SNES ones is a pretty good choice... and the Sega CD one for a counterpoint with an actual decent game.

(There were also The Terminator games on the Genesis (from Virgin), SMS/Game Gear (also from Virgin), and PC (from Bethesda). The SMS/GG one appears to be a lot like the Genesis game, though not exactly the same, but other than that every version is an entirely different game.)

Oh, Virgin did the Sega CD one too... but despite also having that Genesis game, the Sega CD one is actually an entirely original title. Very impressive, and rare...

... Even though they're by a completely different company, Virgin, the SMS/GG and Genesis ones also have no saving. No lives either, evidently; you have a healthbar, but die once and that's it, start over from the beginning.

Oddly enough, NONE of the The Terminator games have continues or saving, even though they come from several different developers and publishers. How odd...

At least the Sega CD, SMS/GG and Genesis versions have level-select cheatcodes, though. That's something... the NES and SNES versions don't even have codes, as he said.

... Just played the Genesis and Sega CD ones some. The Sega CD one is clearly the best Terminator 1 game, no question, at least initially... I quickly played through two levels, quite enjoying it the whole time. The Genesis one is okay, but frustrating -- you start in a bossfight with only grenades. Then you dodge bombs. Then you go into a base and get a gun (and can fire all directions), but can't fire while moving, only when stopped... and then you set a bomb in the base and have a timer to get out. I couldn't figure out where to go (you don't have long), and it was game over. Bah. Even apart from that though, the Genesis one is okay, but the Sega CD game is definitely better across the board, in gameplay, graphics, and music. I'd heard that the Sega CD version was good, but hadn't actually played it. Well, it is good.

The best bit for me was when he woke up to find that the game limits you to only six lives.

I hope in his second review of the Terminator games he reviews T2 for GB along with the NES version. Game is awful.

He should also do a part three with good Terminator games, although they're more of Robocop games than Terminator games if you ask me, which the Genesis has the best version.

It'd be great if he did the T2: the Arcade shooting-gun game. That was crazy fun.

I put off playing that at my only local arcade and when I went to finally went to play it they had gotten rid of it because it had compatability problems with their new magnetic swipe card system. Crud.

[A Black Falcon]

T2: The Arcade Game was awesome, it's one of my favorite light gun games ever... now given, the second level is nearly impossible in the credit-limited home console ports and there are only three levels, but still, it's a great game.

[Sonicwolf]

Isnt the SNES version of the T2 Arcade game the best console port? I heard the Genesis port was pretty lame...

[A Black Falcon]

I just have it for SNES, so I don't know... I have also played the Game Gear version before, though. It was on everything...

It is true that the SNES one supports the SNES Mouse as well as controller and Super Scope though, which is nice. I think on Genesis it just supports controller and Menacer, not the Mega Mouse. I don't have a Super Scope, but do have a mouse, and it's great with it. I'm terrible with light guns, so it's great to have a mouse option too.

I never played the SNES version, but I always enjoyed the Genesis port. I haven't played it in probably about 14 years though. I think the Genesis port came out a few months or maybe even a year before the SNES one, but I could be wrong.

[optic_85]

I dug the new vid, but I pretty much enjoy them all. The best part was easily the very end*LoL*.....

[Famidrive-16]

I loved it when he screamed into the pillow, that was one of those moments that was possibly real frustration.

[kainemaxwell]

I still could never pass the truck stage without a stage select in T2.

[grolt]

Good video, plenty of pointed bits of commentary, good production value for the introduction, and the wrench idea was awesome. That said, I was disappointed there was no SMS or Game Gear comparison. Hopefully he takes a look at either of the Terminator 2 games on the Master System. I hope he talks T2: The Arcade Game, too, because yeah, that game rocks.

[SegaAges]

EDIT: Problem was solved

[Greg2600]

That was a fantastic job by the AVGN crew on the Terminator! The intro, with the overlaid graphics was excellent, and James was very funny. I wonder if he'll touch on any of the HORRIBLE PC Terminator games by Bethesda during the early 90's?
