Emphatically not the same game as the NES version but IGDB is full of agents of Satan so here we are. Probably not much better, though. I can't be fucked to make a new game page myself so if it ever shows up I'll have to relocate this over there.
Undoubtedly one of the weakest run-and-gun games on the console, though it probably beats out Bits Studios' port of GunForce (which is not at all high praise). It starts out decently manageable, if still subpar and drab, but the rooftop level is where shit hits the fan. It features tons of dead ends, minibosses that stop you dead in your tracks making it hard to avoid taking damage, and Spelunker-esque death by falling too far. Without hitting the ground, even. At first I had assumed they accidentally set the kill plane too high or something.
It's also very ugly, by the way. This game was handled by Gray Matter, also responsible for gems such as The Incredible Crash Dummies and Wayne's World, and it looks incredibly similar to those games (very ugly). It's odd in this instance because the few animated cutscenes are not bad at all and it also features a pretty faithful recreation of the original movie's title card. Maybe that was where all the budget went.
Terminator 2: Judgement Day received a SNES adaptation just seven months later in November of 1993, by none other than Bits Studios, published by none other than LJN. Most exciting indeed! Which game do you think will be worse? Which coughing baby will you place your bets on? To find out who wins, tune in next time! Or eventually, at least.
