Play T2 - The Arcade Game (USA, Europe) on gb Online

Terminator 2: The Arcade Game came to the Game Boy in 1992, developed by Probe Entertainment. It was a time when many arcade shooters were being adapted to handhelds, often with significant changes to fit the hardware. This version tried to bring the frantic shooting action of the cabinet to a portable screen, though it had to work within the limits of the system.

You control a cursor on screen, moving it to aim and fire at endless waves of Skynet robots and vehicles. Your main goal is to survive each stage, shooting everything that moves while avoiding enemy fire. The game uses a wave based structure, with enemies entering from all sides of the screen, and you must react quickly to their patterns. It is fast paced and quite difficult, with limited continues and relentless enemy spawns. Playing it feels like a test of reflexes and patience, as you chip away at the opposition with repetitive but demanding precision.
