In this video, Terminator 2 Judgment Day, released in 1991 for the Atari ST by Ocean.
Based on 1991 movie by Tri-Star Pictures this Tie-In has been realized by taking 8 main action scenes from the movie and the player have to complete them like he was in the movie. It seems a good idea but IMHO in the end it's a little meh 'cause we got 8 underwhelming mini game events: 3 beat 'em up sections almost identical where Arny "meets" the T1000 armed with guns or fists; 2 vertical scrolling car chases one with John and one with Sarah Connor; 1 side scrolling shoot'em up where Arny must kill everyone to enter and escape Cyberdynes Systems (although Arny doesn't kill a single man in the movie); 2 puzzle games where you have to rebuild pieces of Arny body in order to regain health.
The graphics are awesome, with many digitized images and video clips. The sprites are colored, neat with good animations and scrolling. The audio tries with scarce success to emulate the famous Terminator tunes during the intro, while there are no in-game tunes, only standard sound fx. The playability is ok but I feel like it can become boring after a short time.
Here you'll find intro and gameplay with bad end.

All footage taken from original hardware machines and upscaled to 1080P.
