Released for the Sega Genesis / Mega Drive, Terminator 2 is a platformer developed by Flying Edge and published by Bits Studios. Depending on the region, you may also know it as T2: Terminator 2: Judgment Day.
It is part of the Terminator series; on the Genesis you can also try The Terminator and Terminator 2: Judgment Day. The series also appears on other systems with The Terminator (Master System) and Terminator 2: Judgment Day (NES). Flying Edge also made WWF Super WrestleMania, Steel Empire and Double Dragon 3: The Rosetta Stone for the Genesis.
Terminator 2 is a single-player game, so it's one to enjoy at your own pace.
Pick it if…
- you want to run, jump and explore
- you have time for an evening or two (roughly 1–6 hours to see it through)
- you've played the Genesis hits and want something less obvious
Maybe skip it if…
- you get frustrated by precise jumps and limited lives
- you are looking for something to play with friends
What playing Terminator 2 is like
Platformers are all about movement: running, jumping and timing your way across levels full of gaps, enemies and secrets. The best ones feel great to control within seconds and then slowly teach you to master every leap.
Tip for newcomers: Retro platformers often have limited lives and few checkpoints. Learn one level at a time, look for hidden 1-ups, and don't be shy about using a save feature when it is available.
