Dawn of Fate, no retro though.

Terminator for Sega CD is fantastic, pretty good for MD also. T2 Arcade is a lot of fun, looks great, but can be pretty hard. I also have a soft spot for T2 on the GB, it's not all that good but it has some interesting parts like reprogramming The Terminator pipemania style.
>>
>>3387135
I really liked the Terminator games developed by Bethesda. Lots of features that were not common in FPS at the time.

Like a mix of doom and descent, or rather strife and descent.

That should answer your question.

All opinion, but I thought that T2 for the Genesis was awesome

The one where you shot terminators as you went through, what's it called, a rail shooter?

Also, this game WAS A FUCKING BLAST at the arcades!

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zsIF2yfUw7Q

The machine had a fucking machine gun right there on the arcade cabinet, there were big booming speakers on top that just blasted you with the sounds and music. The machine guns rumbled vibrated when you fired them. The Guns 'N Roses soundtrack was incredible.

Just an amazing experience, which was the entire reason we went to arcades to begin with back in those days.

I remember the local Flea Market in Grand Prairie, TX had this in their arcade and that's where I played it.

The only problem? It cost 3 FUCKING QUARTERS TO PLAY

Pac-Man cost 1 quarter per play
Street Fighter II cost 2 quarters.
Ninja Turtles and Sunset Riders cost 1 quarter per play.
Hang-On and T2 cost 3 quarters, and that was expensive as fuck.
>>
>>3387449
This for sure. I played this game so much
back in the day. I always got stuck on the part
where you gotta defend the truck. 3 quarters a pop is a ripoff though, was only a single quarter at my arcade.

I would also highly recommend the Genesis version of Robocop vs Terminator.

Damn, what a rip! At that point you're better off to buy one of the computer versions (pic is Amiga port), especially if you could get it in one of those game bundles where they re-released stuff for budget price. Looks like this game was even part of two such compilations:

Only bad thing is it doesn't support light gun, so you're stuck with the joystick or mouse (but the later works actually ok for this kind of shooting gallery game).
>>
Yes there was
>>
>>3387449
This game fucking sucked. I knew it even as a T2/Arnold worshipping kid during that period.

Cheap and unfair. Incredibly unsatisfying. The only thing fans wanted from a T2 arcade game at that time was to play out some of the great action beats from the movie.

This shit had you pumping quarters into it just to shoot the same robot over and over again until you accidentally put a few slugs into one of those fucking Mortal Kombat extras in the background. Game Over. Again.

Midway was always terrible though. Just imagine what Konami or Capcom could have done with this license, even without the light gun pedigree.
>>
>>3387437this and a menacer was fun as fuck, especially in two player (one controller and the light gun.
>>
>>3387374
Always felt like a more confined Daggerfall to me.

someone doesn't have any friends to play with
>>
>>3388636
Motherfucker, please. It's a shitty game and deep down you know it. I remember Space Gun coming out around the same time and it was light years better.
>>
>>3388502
>Incredibly unsatisfying.

I dunno, blowing up tons of the landscape, head sniping terminators, destroying all of Cyberdine, that was all really satisfying for me as a kid. Played it on both Genesis and SNES.

The third fucking mission was impossible to do in single player though, unless you had 200 rockets and spammed it nonstop to destroy all HKs before they appeared.
>>
I enjoyed T2 on the Megadrive, riding the Harley around LA to the different locations was cool.
>>
>>3387135
Terminator on SNES was really cool.

Robocop VS The Terminator is also damn cool.
>>
>>3387135
were there any good terminator movies?
>>
>>3389178
Not released during your lifetime.

The Terminator game for DOS was pretty neat. You could play as the Terminator or Reece. Wander around L.A., steal cars, fight cops and your respective nemesis, and shoot Sarah in the head with gruesome detail.
>>
>>3387345
Yeah, the Sega CD game... I always found that one to be pretty ridiculous. It's a decent platformer, but the 1984 segments don't make any sense since none of the buildings actually resemble buildings, but rather glorified obstacle courses. And Reese himself is even worse than the Terminator, what with all the civilians he guns down with his infinite ammo rapid fire shotgun over the course of the game. But holy fuck, if it wasn't impressive when they were actually able to use all that footage from the actual movie, on a fucking SEGA. No sound and compressed all to hell, but still. A taste of the future right there.
>>
>>3387374
I think it might have been one of the first FPS using mouselook aiming as a default, much before quake.

I remember hating the controls when I played the demo, since I was still a keyboard-only FPS player.
>>
>>3387437
Yeah, they're rail shooters, but the difficulty level on that one was unreasonable. As a kid I was never able to clear the future war segment where the Hunter Killers are chasing John Connor's truck. Literally took me the use of cheat codes on an emulator, years later before I was able to beat the whole thing. But lovely concept.
>>
>>3389208
Sounds interesting. Thanks for the tip, Anon.
