Hello! My first post! I had totally forgot this place existed. I remembered an old Terminator 2 game I used to play on pc as a kid and searched for it, finding it here. Let me say it is a great game! Not as good as it was in those games, but still very fun.

It is not as difficult as you say. Games in the good ol' days used to require at least some basic skill. This one would not even be considered tough back then. Thanks a lot for the games!! And new-comers to T2, do not listen to that gibberish of nerds who cannot play games.. try it you will like it. All you have to know is on the levels where it says "loading' you have to hold down the shoot button (space bar) to get the first shot off early, then once you do shoot it, keep tapping the space bar to shoot the T-1000 off the screen. And remember not to move off the screen yourself in the later levels, as it instantly kills you. Perhaps I will record a run-thru and post it on youtube!? With video.. or at least picture, it would be much easier to defeat those tough puzzle levels. Although they cannot kill you anyways, just not give you full points.



Controls: spacebar (shoot), arrow-keys (move).

Tips:
-run T2.bat with dosbox instead of Term.exe (affects music & possibly frame-rate)
-hold shoot button down while it says 'loading' and quickly tap the button when the game resumes to easily defeat T-1000
-when on motorcycle, do not rush. carefully avoid all obstacles, and when you see a ramp, take it with speed. ignore all health 'wheels' as you will lose more health trying to get them.

It's on the manual, but I think I'l drop this here anyway...

TERM.EXE A **** Game with AdLib sounds.

TERM.EXE R **** Game with Roland MT-32 sounds. Needs Yhkwong's build of DOSBox or similar.

TERM.EXE T **** Tandy mode. 16 color graphics and three channel speaker sounds.

As for the game, it's a nice concept, but by 1991 it was dated. Ocean made most of its money with movie licenses like this one, alternating action and puzzle sequences. The result was fantastic... for 8 bit machines. PC users at the time were already asking for more, and they surely didn't get it here.

A pity, because previous Ocean games such as "Robocop" and "Batman: The Movie" were best-sellers just a few years before. But hey, you need to move with the times.

Hi!
Welcome! Maybe you write a whole review of T2 on the Community Reviews Section. k:

Another inconsistency: John Connor is the son of a man from the future who should not even have existed in the past.

And the Skynet’s Synthetic Intelligent Machine Network was created from a T-800’s Cyber Arm (Terminator 1), does a creature become the basis for the creator?

After all, which one came first, the egg or the chicken?

Use dosbox in XP or in Vista.
Works fine in both OS.
