The Terminator

About

You take on the role of Kyle Reese in this 1993 Sega CD action game. Navigate 10 levels split between 1984 and 2029 as you dodge metal threats and shoot your way through environments. Platforming challenges mix with shooter sections as you jump between eras. Fight robots in post-apocalyptic ruins or navigate L.A.'s streets, rooftops, and a neon-lit club in the present day. Sega CD hardware lets the game showcase detailed backdrops for its time. Ten levels shift from gritty 1980s L.A. to ruined 2029 wastelands. A factory showdown wraps up the action. Some players call it one of the more ambitious early CD-based platformers. The blend of time periods and varied settings keeps the action from feeling repetitive.
