Play T2 : The Arcade Game Online

Midway released T2: The Arcade Game for the Game Boy in 1992, a portable take on the light gun cabinet hit. It was a time when getting a recognizable arcade experience in your hands still felt like a minor miracle, even with the hardware's obvious limitations. This version tried to capture the frantic energy of the film, trading the big screen and plastic gun for a small LCD and a D-pad.

You control a cursor representing your aim, moving it across the screen to shoot enemy T-800 endoskeletons and other threats before they can fire back. Your main objective is to protect John Connor by surviving each wave of attackers, which requires quick reflexes and precise targeting. The game uses a screen by screen progression, clearing enemies to advance, and you must occasionally shoot specific objects like explosive barrels or incoming grenades to avoid damage. The pacing is relentless, and the difficulty ramps up quickly, demanding you memorize enemy patterns to have any chance of lasting. It feels like a tense, pixelated shooting gallery where every shot counts.
