Terminator 2: Judgement Day - Video Game From The Early 90's

Description

It comes from the future. It can take any shape and survive almost any injury (even when a 10-gauge shotgun blast opens it up like a tin can). Its mission: eliminate John Connor. Its name: the T-1000. Against it stands one hope: you, a terminator model T-800... equipped with on-screen target search displays, a lever-action Winchester, and 10 barrels of high explosives... one mean machine. Protect John Connor (before a 23,000 lb. tow-rig plows your Harley into tomorrow). Save humanity (while Uzi-armed SWAT teams try to blow you away). Terminate the T-1000 (steel mill metldown![sic])... or mankind is history. An action game with side-scrolling and top-down perspective levels that was published by Ocean Software and developed by Dementia. Each version features very similar levels. Versions of the game for the aging Commodore 64 and ZX Spectrum featured very primitive graphics, compared to the other platform releases.

The game is loosely based on the film of the same name. The objective is to save the leader of the Human Resistance, John Connor, and his mother, Sarah, from the T-1000, a mimetic poly-alloy Terminator, bent on killing them both.

Game Gear, Master System and NES versions
The game consists of five levels: Level 1: Acquire a weapon

Level 2 is an isometric racing game, whereupon the player must race fast enough to catch John Conner on his moped whilst using weapons to beat back the T-1000, who is fast approaching in a tractor trailer. All the other levels are side-scrolling platform, shooters/beat 'em ups. Level 2 is omitted from the Master System and Game Gear versions.

From Level 3 onward[s], the player is not allowed to kill human enemies, to which he will be rewarded with upgraded weaponry at the end of levels for doing so.

Level 4 requires the player to visit all ends of the gamescreen in order to collect and set explosive charges.

Levels 5 has the player doing some platforming, before finally taking on the T-1000 in the final battle.
