Play Terminator 2 - Judgment Day on nes Online

Terminator 2: Judgment Day on the NES came out in 1992, published by LJN. It was one of many movie tie-ins from that era, a time when you could expect almost any big film to get a cartridge, often with mixed results. This one tried to capture the blockbuster's action on the 8-bit hardware.

You control the T-800, moving through side-scrolling levels filled with Skynet soldiers and drones. Your main goal is to protect John Connor, which involves a lot of shooting; you start with a pistol but can pick up stronger weapons like shotguns or the iconic phased plasma rifle. The game uses a password system to track progress, and some stages switch things up, like a forced-scrolling motorcycle sequence where you dodge obstacles and enemies. It's known for being quite difficult, with stiff controls and enemy shots that are hard to avoid. Playing it feels like a constant, clunky struggle against the game's own limitations.
