Perfect Playthrough 094: The Terminator (Genesis)
1Don't mind the title card, it's THE Terminator for the Sega Genesis, not Terminator Genisys. I just went with it for the pun as well as Search engines thinking your looking up the crappy 2015 soft reboot. Though to be fair, this game isn't that much better. Sure, I wouldn't go out of my way to call it crap, but this game definitely ranks as one of the weakest entries I've covered on this channel. You get no invincibility frames after you take damage, so damage racks up quickly; enemies take way too many hits to go down, they respawn endlessly, and they absolutely gang up on you even if they ought to be opposing forces; and you get one life and no continues, meaning if you die just once, the game is over and you got to start all over.
Luckily, the game's really short--it's actually the second shortest game I've covered so far behind Altered Beast--and has no other conditions for completion outside beating the game. But for a 1992 release, this game feels like a bare bones rush job that has nothing else going for it other than a short game with cheap and brutal difficulty all throughout. So apologies for choosing this game over the Sega CD version.
