{"product_id":"t2-the-arcade-game-genesis","title":"T2 - The Arcade Game - for Genesis","description":"\u003cp\u003eT2: The Arcade Game brings the Terminator 2 coin op shooter home to the Sega Genesis, converted by Probe Software and published in 1992 by Arena Entertainment. It is a gallery shooter seen from the first person: you hold your ground, sweep a crosshair across the screen and tear apart everything metal that moves. What makes T2: The Arcade Game stand out is how closely it follows the film, with seven levels built around specific scenes and ideas from the movie, and how relentless it is about keeping the screen full.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe first four levels act as a prelude set in the future war. You gun down waves of metal Terminators across a battlefield, defend a besieged human hideout, and shoot your way through the security checkpoints of the enemy supercomputer SkyNet. After destroying the computer, the game travels back in time: you protect John and Sarah Connor, then destroy every scrap of SkyNet research at the headquarters of its manufacturer. From there you fend off the indestructible liquid metal Terminator through to the final showdown in the steel mill. Two players can shoot side by side, which is how the arcade version was always meant to be taken, and the extra firepower is welcome.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eT2: The Arcade Game is still loved because it is pure arcade pressure, a game that asks nothing of you but reflexes and nerve, and because it is one of the stronger conversions among the licensed shooters of its era. The sound of a Terminator skull coming apart under sustained fire has not lost a thing. For collectors, T2: The Arcade Game is a key piece of Genesis movie tie in history and a natural partner to the other Terminator games on the system. Keep it near the front of the shelf for evenings when you want something loud and immediate.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eGenre:\u003c\/strong\u003e Arcade Shooter\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePlayers:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1-2\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRegion:\u003c\/strong\u003e NTSC\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRelease Year:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1992\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDeveloper:\u003c\/strong\u003e Probe Software\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCartridge Only: No Box or Manual\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nPlease note that this listing is for the \u003cstrong\u003egame cartridge only\u003c\/strong\u003e.
