Game description:

Terminator is a multi-screen platform game, intended as a joke. The main character of the game will be transferred to five different periods of history: Stone Age, Ancient Egypt, Medieval Malbork, Oklahoma City in XIX century, Los Angeles 1993. The player's task is to find the indicated number of the chips, kill the cyborg guardian and reach the next level teleporter. Terminator may use arms and bombs in the fight against numerous enemies, although the guardian cyborg is immune to the fist attack. In exceptional cases, like stuck in place with no return, Terminator may immediately relocate himself to the start position, although this ability is limited to five times use.


What I think:

For a joke game, this isn't bad. However, I can't say it is good either.

While it has a lot of variety regarding enemies and levels, great character sprites and really great music, the game game unfortunately suffers from really bad hit detection. To make matters worse the enemies respawn, too....and those things are REALLY frustrating.
