Terminator Resistance on Steam is pretty good, probably the best up-to-date Terminator game out there. Love seeing all the classics - I mostly tried to beat Terminator 2 on Sega Genesis back in the 90s, absolute torture wow lol.
Oliver, you did such a great job on this. I actually learned things I didn't know! It was a bummer when we found out we couldn't be "The Terminator" in the Terminator game, but thankfully game licensing has improved greatly over the years. I met James Cameron may years later, and I just wish I could have talked to him before we made the game. I personally love the Terminator universe he created. One other thing, this was our first Sega Megadrive game, we literally were reading badly photocopied instructions in Japanese trying to work out how to program the console. Crazy time.
Holy crap, it's the man himself. Terminator, Global Gladiators, Earthworm Jim, Aladdin, Cool Spot... I own all of them still. Thanks for the games, and the memories!
Thanks very much David for your feedback! Its pretty crazy you guys figured how to programme the console through badly photocopied instructions! Well thankfully you chaps did succeed in the end. Did you ask Mr Cameron if he had played the game or was aware of it?
@@OliverHarper I was at an event at Lightstorm when he was doing the submersible stuff. "I worked on your Terminator game" was a pretty cool way to break the ice. I didn't ask if he played it. (Next time!)
Hopefully I don't come across as sycophantic or anything, but channels like this have helped me through tough times. And since I'm going through a tough time again at the moment, just wanna say content like this still helps. Cheers
Good luck with getting through the tough time, mate. I love classic, nostalgic laden videos like this taking me back to when I played the games around happier, innocent times in a more open, younger life. Watch it, let it help ya, and good luck again.👍👍
Nah man, I've been watching Olly H for a decade+ and he's got me through some serious stuff too. It's the things that you latch onto during the dark times that bring you back to the light.
Future Shock and SkyNet are sooooo underrated. Openworld(ish), story driven DOS fps with polygonal graphics before Quake! With Fiedel's music in glorious midi, capturing that T1 future war atmosphere perfectly. These 2 need more recognition!
Future shock is awesome i played it on dosbox and i think it's great game with great story line. You can enter almost all buildings in the game or what was left of them and drive vehicles and hunter killer drones.
I agree, the lack of effort to research the PC related games is showing. To assume they are are all the same game is not correct. Especially Future Shock/Skynet deserves more attention.
Yes! Future Shock still holds up, really in all areas. The gameplay is pretty smooth, the visuals are great and the atmosphere is genuinely tense. Excellent game. Hoping that arrives on GOG sometime.
Have you played Future Shock, Oliver? It's brilliant. I played it back in the day and loved it. It's one of my fondest gaming experiences. I think it would deserve its own retrospective review.
I had the Master System version. I remember buying both it and Robocop vs Terminator with my birthday money like any self-respecting 12 year old in the early 90s would. Both were excellent. The Master System really was the little console that could. From Mortal Kombat to Batman Returns, they really did try to get everything on there!
Terminator, Shinobi and Alex Kidd in Miracle World were the first games I got with my master system. Oliver is not wrong it took me months to beat the first level in it and once i did that I was able to clear the game straight away
Yeah, I saw your comment too late, so I also posted one about it. I don't pity him, though, as it's abundantly clear he's a scamming, talentless narcissist taking credit for other people's work.
Well, I've watched the entirety of Slope's video, and now I'm seriously hoping the only thing we'll ever hear from this moron again is regarding him going to jail. Seriously: I don't want to see his stupid face unless it's a mug shot.
One thing I remember about those early days of console gaming was the cost. As you say £40 for a game either that or swapping with a friend. There was no popping into a game store and getting a second hand game for £5 :)
I love the opening cut, it’s just like your film retro but game footage… I’d love more of these, maybe a companion piece for your film retros… thanks for sharing, mate!
The only video games about the first Terminator movie that I knew about where the NES, SNES, and Sega CD versions, mainly from watching AVGN. But I got to say, this was really fun and interesting watching you talk about the other versions of games based on the movie. Makes me wish that James Rolfe hopefully revisits the Terminator games someday and explores the rest of them. Speaking of which, are you planning to do another video like this but for games based on Terminators 2, 3, 4, and 5?
Oh my god, I can't escape Tommy the Tank Engine Tallarico, who funnily enough, later claimed credit for a track of the Sega CD game done by Joey Kuras in a compliation CD he released, so thank you for acknowkedging Kuras,.In other words, "IT'S ALWAYS JOEY!"
@@KasumiKenshirou The Terminator thing I was talking about gets brought up near the end of H.Bomberguy's video on Tallarico & the Roblox Oof sound. Check that video out.
Lovely feature Ollie, and I bloody love the new Carolco inspired logo 😊 That game you described at about 6:22 sounds amazing, and that would be wonderful if they stuck to that formula today. And 22:05 it was £29.99 on release?... oh my goodness that expensive for back then! How much was the console? 😳😯 A brilliant remake of the Sega CD version would be wonderful.
Thank you for mentioning Journey to Silius. It's a pretty good game in its own right! it also has one of the best soundtracks for the NES at the time, Stages 1 & 5 is a proper banger.
It's available on the switch via nintendo switch online. there's also plenty of ROM sites you can nab it from, too. if you want to play it on the original hardware, a ROM and a flash cart are your best bet, especially with the prohibitive prices a genuine cart goes for.
I got the Megadrive version on release back in the day and it was the first time I became aware of a publisher spending more money on promotion than developement of the game! Several mags gave away free Terminator sunglasses on the front cover and offered vaguely positive reviews. One said "the graphics are moodier than a Chris Isaak gig" 🤥I got the game home and felt completely ripped off - £45 for 10 minutes! That's equivalent to £120 today😵💫
These games were awesome when I was a kid. The Mega CD version I loved but the Genesis version was my go to. These retrospectives are awesome. Thanks for doing these.
I loved the Mega Drive Terminator games, always borrowed my friends copy of 1 and would've saved money buying Robo vs Terminator the amount of times I rented it out. Wish I'd played the Mega CD version that looks awesome.
The T1 MS-DOS is easily my favorite of the movie based Terminator games. Its also IMO the closest to the movie because while the setting is bright you have to actually hunt for weapons and equipment then find Sarah instead of of just automictically getting your gear and locating Sarah when you reach the correct stages.
I found this video enjoyable and interesting. I was particularly interested by the cancelled NES The Terminator game, which I had never heard of before this video. Maybe a superimposer/video input device add-on could have been made for the NES to make "Dragon Lair"-like games.
Tommy Tellarico? oh man, I remember when JC made the Terminator movie based on Tommy's music, including the Roblox oof. Orion couldn't afford it, though, so the sound was cut from the scene Kyle got oofed.
thanks for this Oliver this was excellent i can't wait to show this to my friend who is a massive terminator fan as well and this is why love your reviews once again because you cover everything
Gary Whitta shown as 17:57 is the same one who wrote The Book of Eli (2010), co-wrote After Earth (2013) with M. Night Shyamalan, and co-developed the story for Rogue One (2016)
The thing about the Terminator game on PC was it was an open world 3D game long before Grand Theft Auto. The streets of L.A., you could go into stores, banks, army bases, drive cars, etc. Everyone was dropped randomly into the level. You played as the Terminator or Reese. Did it work?. Yes, but not well. Still, it was trying to be GTA before GTA. Back when Bethesda really tried to innovate. I appreciate failures more than companies who don't try at all. At least they tried.
I'm surprised how much the UK Sega CD version shot up in price. It feels like only yesterday I bought it for a fraction of that! The Mega Drive one holds a soft spot for me. I feel you hit the nail on the head with how repayable it is, especially as one gets older.
The Sega CD game, the arcade game and the newer Resistance game is actually pretty rad! I always laughed when the terminator says he wanted a plasma rifle in the 40 watt range. That's pretty weak LOL. Maybe 1,400 watts would be more likely to get results.
17:49 That review was done by Gary Whitta, who now writes films, including: - Star Wars: Rogue One (co-developed) - The Book of Eli - After Earth (co-wrote)
0:02 Brilliant parody of the Cannon Films logo. You should do 1 at the end of a video which you pop your head out of water and say, "I'll be back!". I love the Terminator franchise. I would have loved to have played the 1992 Sega Mega Drive game of The Terminator. I remember seeing the advert of the game on my father's VHS recording of the 1992 ITV broadcast of Red Heat.
dude, I've been curious about that pc terminator game from 1990 since back then. I saw it in a magazine back then and never heard of it again, thanks for the video explaining. I've always thought it must not of been that good why i never heard of it again and now i know 👍
Excellent video, very fun and informative :) My favorite of these games is definitely the Mega Drive version. The Mega CD version looks great and I really dig the music, but it was a bit too frustrating for me. I was happy to have played through it once, though. Hope you'll do Terminator 2 next!
Back in my childhood i never played Terminator 1 game based on the first movie. In fact, i never knew the first movie existed until much later, when i got my very first PC in my teenager years. Thus i started with Terminator 2 and played games only based on that movie. The one on NES, where i got stuck on bike riding levels, and the other one is a port of arcade rail shooter T2 The Arcade game, where i got stuck where you need to protect a truck, on a road to skynet, while it been attacked by terminators and hunter killers. I also had this massive book with cheat codes and guides for NES and Sega games, and it is there that i saw screenshots from another Terminator 2 game for Sega's console, based on second movie, that was a action game, and not rail shooter. And it is also there, where i saw the screenshots of the first Terminator game, based on movie. And after that i was interested to see the first movie, but i never saw it on TV, until i got my very first PC. And then one of my friends brought a disc with both Terminator movies, and we watched both movies back to back together. I was 13 years old at that point and... in comparison to the second film, with which i started first until that moment, first movie was very dark and brutal and less funny. I even got mixed feelings about it, and felt like it was too boring for me. But the second movie was a blast to see again, but not on TV but on my computer and without ads. It was fun experience. These days i think that both movies is cool, but back when i first time saw first movie, a long after i saw second movie, i thought that first movie was boring.
Knowing what we know about Tommy Tallerico now after the Intellivision Amico fiasco, I'm not surprised he had screaming matches with the producers. That's probably even conservative how he really reacted. The man doesn't like anyone that disagrees with him.
I also never understood why they never let you do a Kyle Reese and Terminator playthrough. It automatically gives replayability to the game and let's face it, everybody wants to play as the unstoppable cyborg in some capacity. What makes it more jarring is there were other games licensed at the time such as Jurassic Park that did let you play as Grant or an escaped Velociraptor so it's not exactly like this was some overly ambitious idea at the time.
I think the Bethesda games deserve more attention. They presented many very interesting innovations things back then. As with many Bethesda games the biggest flaw were lots of bugs. They tried to do stuff that just was too much for the available technology when the games were released. Still pretty impressive and ahead of its time. Also I'm sure those Terminator games were an essential step for developing the technology and concepts for The Elder Scrolls. So they might not be widely remembered nowadays, but they have an important place in gaming history. Greetings from Germany :)
Great retrospective on The Terminator, a few years ago they came out with Terminator: Resistance for Ps4/Xbox One. It should be checked out for Terminator fans.
Whoa, whoa, where in the blazes did that Sunsoft Terminator footage come from?! 😵 I thought there wasn't anything left besides that promo poster at 3:24! This is crazy.
I've used Tommy Tallarico's Terminator music in my videos before, and one time he told me in a comment that it "took him back." 1:02 / 26:12 Michael Connell Biehn glancing over the name "Michael B. Connor." 10:56 Hey! Those battle duds aren't Tech-Com issue! 17:04 Those are more likely supposed to be the model 102 based on Franco Columbu, one of Arnie's bodybuilder buddies from back in the day. Or rather, they should be, to make it more authentic to the movie. You can play as the Franco/model 102 Terminator in 'Terminator: Resistance'. 18:58 Why can't Kyle climb ledges like Conrad Hart from the original Flashback? 20:39 It just occurred to me that that's also reminiscent of the ending to Another World/Out of This World.
I remember trying a game boy game called Terminator 2 in the 90s. Nothing seemed to happen at all. You get a sniper's view of a future landscape but I couldn't figure out what I was supposed to do.
Brilliant video my friend, this franchise means the world to me. Some suggestions for future gaming videos, maybe history of both Street Fighter and Mortal Kombat, plus a retrospective on all the Batman Returns games, like you did for Batman 89.
6:20 Upper left hand corner that image. It reminds me of a clip I just watched that showed an image that looked just like that. The clip showed a clip from Terminator Resistance for PS5
I like your new opening logo paying homage to cannon films. Now please start doing retrospective reviews of Chuck Norris and Charles Bronson films from that era. Thanks
I would love a starwars games retrospective, though I know this would be a considerable effort. I consider The Phantom Menace a underrated movie tie in game - melee and ranged combat, platforming, problem solving, secrets, branching conversations, multiple playable characters. And repercussions for killing innocents as a Jedi. We need a new Jedi Knight/ Jedi Outcast series!!
GoldenEye didn't come out for N64 until 2 years after the film, it's a legend. Imagine, the multiplayer was added as an afterthought at the last minute. "Creative licensing" AKA "EASY MONEY..." P.S. Honestly the only we ever played was the T2 Arcade for SEGA and we loved it. We were 9 though...
Skynet/Future Shock was a unique game for me on PC.. instead of the linear approach like Doom or quake. It was the first game that give alot of freedom than other fps. Those Mega drive games I would rent out at Ahzad video shop in UK.
Honestly, yeah. I agree with this video. The Sega ones are easily the best of the games based on The Terminator. However though, of the games based on the franchise in general, Future Shock, SkyNET and Resistance are easily the best by a landslide (though Terminator 3: The Redemption is meant to be fun as well). [However, I don't know why you didn't bother mentioning Dawn of Fate and Resistance, as those two games serve as attempts at making direct prequels to the film]
Great retrospective! Question, so for the sega génesis if they didn’t have the license for Arnold’s likeness? How were they allowed to use his likeness for the T-800 that chases you all over the game?
I was about to ask the same question Nick. My Dad gave me his Playstation 2 console and games and I found, "Terminator 3 The Redemption" and "Terminator 3 Rise of the Machines" both from Atari. I played both games and enjoyed it. I would like to see a follow up as well and ask - Why are there 2 Terminator games with the same title heading both released under the same company name?
@@videostash413 Thank you Video Stash :) I noticed it when the show was almost finished. Maybe Oliver will produce a complete series history soon. I find the history of video games just as interesting as film history. There's always something new to learn.
What are your thoughts on "Terminator: Resistance"? It's not the best FPS game but for a lot of old school Terminator fans, it's probably the best REAL "Terminator 3" we'll ever get, given its care and love to stick to the source material.
I did review Terminator Resistance on my channel and loved it. The developers offered me the DLC for free but it was only on the PS5, right? I can't remember but I couldn't play it as the DLC wasn't available for the xbox which was really weird.
Big shout to Tommy Tallerico. If you want to go down a rabbit hole, google his antics trying to make the Intellivision Amico console, and the $h*t show it became. If you've got a few days spare to get into the drama, it's well worth it.

I love the Mega cd game. The Mega Drive and Master System games are fun too and I played them a lot. They are really too short though.
that is the biggest problem. 4 levels is way too short, you could literally beat it in minutes.
0:02 Brilliant parody of the Cannon Films logo. You should do 1 at the end of a video which you pop your head out of water and say, "I'll be back!". I love the Terminator franchise. I would have loved to have played the 1992 Sega Mega Drive game of The Terminator. I remember seeing the advert of the game on my father's VHS recording of the 1992 ITV broadcast of Red Heat.
dude, I've been curious about that pc terminator game from 1990 since back then. I saw it in a magazine back then and never heard of it again, thanks for the video explaining. I've always thought it must not of been that good why i never heard of it again and now i know 👍
Awesome work Oliver always love your passion on reviews about cinema and games, much info and details . Cheers
Excellent video, very fun and informative :) My favorite of these games is definitely the Mega Drive version. The Mega CD version looks great and I really dig the music, but it was a bit too frustrating for me. I was happy to have played through it once, though. Hope you'll do Terminator 2 next!
Amazingly edited
As always very very good info and good insight
Keep it up
What’s truly terrifying is I can’t see any difference between chat gtp and skynet in these films
Terminator 2: Judgement Day Arcade sadly missing from this video
Great video!! I would definitely like to see this style of video game review again with a different movie
Back in my childhood i never played Terminator 1 game based on the first movie. In fact, i never knew the first movie existed until much later, when i got my very first PC in my teenager years. Thus i started with Terminator 2 and played games only based on that movie. The one on NES, where i got stuck on bike riding levels, and the other one is a port of arcade rail shooter T2 The Arcade game, where i got stuck where you need to protect a truck, on a road to skynet, while it been attacked by terminators and hunter killers. I also had this massive book with cheat codes and guides for NES and Sega games, and it is there that i saw screenshots from another Terminator 2 game for Sega's console, based on second movie, that was a action game, and not rail shooter. And it is also there, where i saw the screenshots of the first Terminator game, based on movie. And after that i was interested to see the first movie, but i never saw it on TV, until i got my very first PC. And then one of my friends brought a disc with both Terminator movies, and we watched both movies back to back together. I was 13 years old at that point and... in comparison to the second film, with which i started first until that moment, first movie was very dark and brutal and less funny. I even got mixed feelings about it, and felt like it was too boring for me. But the second movie was a blast to see again, but not on TV but on my computer and without ads. It was fun experience. These days i think that both movies is cool, but back when i first time saw first movie, a long after i saw second movie, i thought that first movie was boring.
Knowing what we know about Tommy Tallerico now after the Intellivision Amico fiasco, I'm not surprised he had screaming matches with the producers. That's probably even conservative how he really reacted. The man doesn't like anyone that disagrees with him.
That first two minutes was well worth the watch
oliver reviewing games is always good
Stella production value as always.
Great video! I lived the times of these games releases. SegaCD version was always the best IMO.
I really like the "Cannon Films" intro/logo.
Goddamn Oliver. I wasn't expecting that Cannon films tribute logo. That was fresh.
I also never understood why they never let you do a Kyle Reese and Terminator playthrough. It automatically gives replayability to the game and let's face it, everybody wants to play as the unstoppable cyborg in some capacity. What makes it more jarring is there were other games licensed at the time such as Jurassic Park that did let you play as Grant or an escaped Velociraptor so it's not exactly like this was some overly ambitious idea at the time.
I think the Bethesda games deserve more attention. They presented many very interesting innovations things back then.
As with many Bethesda games the biggest flaw were lots of bugs. They tried to do stuff that just was too much for the available technology when the games were released. Still pretty impressive and ahead of its time.
Also I'm sure those Terminator games were an essential step for developing the technology and concepts for The Elder Scrolls. So they might not be widely remembered nowadays, but they have an important place in gaming history.
Greetings from Germany :)
Great retrospective on The Terminator, a few years ago they came out with Terminator: Resistance for Ps4/Xbox One. It should be checked out for Terminator fans.
So many undeserving channels with millions of in subscribers. You deserve that Oliver I adore your videos.
Whoa, whoa, where in the blazes did that Sunsoft Terminator footage come from?! 😵 I thought there wasn't anything left besides that promo poster at 3:24! This is crazy.
I've used Tommy Tallarico's Terminator music in my videos before, and one time he told me in a comment that it "took him back."
1:02 / 26:12 Michael Connell Biehn glancing over the name "Michael B. Connor."
10:56 Hey! Those battle duds aren't Tech-Com issue!
17:04 Those are more likely supposed to be the model 102 based on Franco Columbu, one of Arnie's bodybuilder buddies from back in the day. Or rather, they should be, to make it more authentic to the movie. You can play as the Franco/model 102 Terminator in 'Terminator: Resistance'.
18:58 Why can't Kyle climb ledges like Conrad Hart from the original Flashback?
20:39 It just occurred to me that that's also reminiscent of the ending to Another World/Out of This World.
I remember trying a game boy game called Terminator 2 in the 90s. Nothing seemed to happen at all. You get a sniper's view of a future landscape but I couldn't figure out what I was supposed to do.
I just realized that the "CSM-101" reflected in the Terminator's sunglasses stands for "Cyberdyne Systems Model 101"
Brilliant video my friend, this franchise means the world to me. Some suggestions for future gaming videos, maybe history of both Street Fighter and Mortal Kombat, plus a retrospective on all the Batman Returns games, like you did for Batman 89.
Great video as always, your content is always excellent and hope the best for you in the future too.
6:20 Upper left hand corner that image. It reminds me of a clip I just watched that showed an image that looked just like that. The clip showed a clip from Terminator Resistance for PS5
Ahh Terminator on C64... as a kid I had no idea what I was doing. 😂 But it either way I thought it looked super cool
I like your new opening logo paying homage to cannon films. Now please start doing retrospective reviews of Chuck Norris and Charles Bronson films from that era. Thanks
I love the logo at the beginning.
That intro!!! Excellent. Immediately clicked. Terminator 1-3d is lyfeeeee. Thank you Oliver!
I would love a starwars games retrospective, though I know this would be a considerable effort.
I consider The Phantom Menace a underrated movie tie in game - melee and ranged combat, platforming, problem solving, secrets, branching conversations, multiple playable characters. And repercussions for killing innocents as a Jedi.
We need a new Jedi Knight/ Jedi Outcast series!!
I LOVE this video before I even see it !
Thank you so much for that !
I remembered playing the Salvation arcade game at the local bowling alley.
GoldenEye didn't come out for N64 until 2 years after the film, it's a legend. Imagine, the multiplayer was added as an afterthought at the last minute. "Creative licensing" AKA "EASY MONEY..."
P.S.
Honestly the only we ever played was the T2 Arcade for SEGA and we loved it. We were 9 though...
Skynet/Future Shock was a unique game for me on PC.. instead of the linear approach like Doom or quake. It was the first game that give alot of freedom than other fps. Those Mega drive games I would rent out at Ahzad video shop in UK.
Honestly, yeah. I agree with this video. The Sega ones are easily the best of the games based on The Terminator. However though, of the games based on the franchise in general, Future Shock, SkyNET and Resistance are easily the best by a landslide (though Terminator 3: The Redemption is meant to be fun as well).
[However, I don't know why you didn't bother mentioning Dawn of Fate and Resistance, as those two games serve as attempts at making direct prequels to the film]
Great retrospective! Question, so for the sega génesis if they didn’t have the license for Arnold’s likeness? How were they allowed to use his likeness for the T-800 that chases you all over the game?
Aww man what about the newer games? I was waiting for those! Will there be a follow up video?
I was about to ask the same question Nick.
My Dad gave me his Playstation 2 console and games and I found, "Terminator 3 The Redemption" and "Terminator 3 Rise of the Machines" both from Atari. I played both games and enjoyed it. I would like to see a follow up as well and ask - Why are there 2 Terminator games with the same title heading both released under the same company name?
@@videostash413 Thank you Video Stash :) I noticed it when the show was almost finished. Maybe Oliver will produce a complete series history soon. I find the history of video games just as interesting as film history. There's always something new to learn.
The Canon style intro.
Gotta love it
love the canon style intro at the beginning
What are your thoughts on "Terminator: Resistance"? It's not the best FPS game but for a lot of old school Terminator fans, it's probably the best REAL "Terminator 3" we'll ever get, given its care and love to stick to the source material.
I did review Terminator Resistance on my channel and loved it. The developers offered me the DLC for free but it was only on the PS5, right? I can't remember but I couldn't play it as the DLC wasn't available for the xbox which was really weird.
Robocop Vs terminator on mega drive also worth a play through
still waiting for the Film !
Big shout to Tommy Tallerico. If you want to go down a rabbit hole, google his antics trying to make the Intellivision Amico console, and the $h*t show it became. If you've got a few days spare to get into the drama, it's well worth it.
Great Video. Hopefully where get a video on T2 games.
LOVE the cannon style opener, I have a cannon hoodie and t shirt, love that logo
