The Terminator has two kinds of levels: in several scrolling platform levels, Reese runs and jumps, shooting at Terminators (in the future war level that begins the game), street punks or policemen. The film’s chase scenes are recreated in two driving sequences. Viewed from behind, Reese and Sarah must escape the Terminator’s pursuit in their car, dodging incoming traffic and avoiding the Terminator’s fire.
Just like the movie, you assume the role of Kyle Reese, a traveller from the future who returns to modern-day L.A. to protect the life of Sarah Conner – the beautiful woman who holds the key to the survival of the human race. Your mission: Outwit and outmaneuver a brutal killing machine known as the Terminator. He’s big, he’s bad and he’s virtually unstoppable – let’s hope you’re smarter! Featuring 10 huge main levels pumped up with hardcore weaponry and heavy-hitting adversaries.
