If I were a hacker, I would have made the ending text say something about Reese preparing to travel to the past to save Sarah from the Terminator. Since this entire game takes place in a futuristic setting, it seems obvious to me that this is actually a prequel to the movie, showing Reese fighting his way into Skynet's base to access the time machine.
I was going to say the same thing. Given how much work appears to have gone into this rom hack, it's actually kinda confusing how the person who made it somehow missed the fact that the game is quite obviously set in the future during the war against Skynet.
I remember thinking the same when I played this ROM hack through on my own a few years back. This game is very obviously set during the future war. The first level is not exactly modern Los Angeles, as it looks like it's in total ruins. It's either supposed to be Reese or some other soldier fighting through to Skynet and has nothing to do with Sarah Conner. Even without the ROM hack, Journey to Silius is still very obviously a Terminator game. The 1st level being the ruins after the nuclear war. The 2nd being the tunnels under the city. The 3rd being a factory where the machines are built. The 4th being the main facility / central computer that runs it all. The 5th is a little more obscure as it's more of just an obstacle course but still looks to be more of a factory. Either way, it's set in the future setting of Terminator. Not in the past.
@xtrmst_01 THere's actually an updated version of this hack that solves a few of the problems. Those include the ending, with a better terminator and an ending screen that works better for some rough form of continuity. It basically hints that the final battle was with a terminator before the journey back in time.
sunsoft and natsume games also technos games are magically receiving two localizations in both USA and Europe. In an alternate dimension maybe Brazil would even have their own 4th localized version
Whoever made this hack should have left the final boss sprite alone. In Journey to Silius, that final boss represented a terminator without the skin on it to the nines.
I don't know what I'm impressed more by; the quality of this hack, or the walkthrough with NO DEATH. Seriously, every time I try and pick up "Journey to Silius" again, I get wasted on the first level alone!
This is done very very well on an already great game! Not that Journey To Silius was bad?! Far from it as it was one of the last great NES games of the early 1990's! Sunsoft was denied a killer conversion?! Why?! They did a great job on Batman?! It doesn't make any sense as their track record is better Mindscape crap or the barely passable LJN/Flying Edge T2. It boggles the mind?! Sunsoft deserved the license but the game is still great! The hack fixes, justfies and puts things and as it should be after some 29 years!! Bravo!
Matthew Holyoake Sunsoft wasn’t denied. It costs money to have a license. They had The Terminator and BatMan but couldn’t afford both and choose BatMan.
I'm not a friend of Romhacks, since I've seen every bizarre thing, but this one, however, fits perfectly with said theme, since originally, this was going to be an official Terminator game, only they lost the license, and In order not to lose the entire project, they had to make several modifications and launch it as the game we all know.
What a Pity that Sunsoft lost the Terminator licence during the development of this game. This was a lot better than the really low quality LJN NES Terminator games that followed.
I remember my father bringing 2 games.... one of them being Journey to Silius and the other being Guantlet 2.... I never knew JTS at that time in 1989 being a Terminator game that got changed because SunSoft could only afford one licensed title.... BATMAN.
Journey to the Silius was difficult, but Terminator was unplayable. That's why this game rocks and original Terminator on NES sucks. Golgo 13 showed us the perfect way to present a James Bond game on NES and Journey to Silius showed us the way to present a Terminator game.

It's a hack attempting to bring the Terminator back to RAF World/Journey to Silius. RAF World/JtS started off as a Terminator game before Sunsoft lost the license

@xtrmst_01 Let me know if you can commission such a hack. Because beyond the ending text, this is pretty damn complete!

In another dimension, Journey to Silius is an Hack version of The Terminator on NES.
So true lol

Imagine a parallel universe where Sunsoft maintained the license and Mindscape made _Journey to Silius_ instead.
oh no

Yeaah, is one of the hardest games on NES, besides this hack is really great :3
@@gianwright5178 Wow really? Metal Gear and Snakes Revenge and Metroid were impossible for me.
The true Terminator game
I believe there are some graphics in the data for Journey to Silius that are remnants of when the game was a terminator game
2:15 that was a very fuckng close one
Amazing. Honestly, I wish we had gotten that Terminator game way back in 1990.

Love the hack and the music from JTS is simply awesome. Fits very well with the game atmosphere.
Which game is JTS?

This is so sick..! I'm glad somebody made this into a real thing. This is the way the game should have been.
There is no boss battle theme that scared me as a child more than this game seriously
We may not have gotten a great Terminator on Nes, but at least there was the Sega CD game
@Zesanactor Over-5 Sega CD game has better music in my opinion
Mr. Pendleton I don’t know this hack of journey to Silius seems like the closest we’re ever going to get for a good terminator game on the nes
journey to silius was origanly a terminator game but they lost the rights before the game was finished
Sega CD Is The Superior Version
We did get an amazing soundtrack made by the Follins for Terminator 2
It's a shame that SunSoft lost the license to The Terminator franchise, I would have loved to see it come to life.
Sunsoft lost the license because the game didn't follow the movie's plot.
This is much better than Mindscape Version.
ANY game is better than the Mindscape version.
It's just that the hacker fucked up not replacing those bs EM209 looking figures with the endoskeleton cyborgs.
Naaaw

The Best Terminator game never made
The movie producers bet on the wrong horse.
that's what i call a good terminator 8-bit game for NES,maybe this hack is looking better than mindscape version

To think that someone thought the crappy offering from LJN was a better Terminator game than this.

That was probably for the best and a blessing in disguise. Batman does sell better as a franchise.
That, what i call a good 8 bit terminator video game gameplay. WHY DOESN'T OFFICIAL MINDSCAPE VERSIONS FOR NES, SNES & COMPUTERS LOOKS LIKE THAT?!
Filters look good, definitely doesn't look like barf

Yes
Exactly. John Connor was not born until a few years after the events of the first Terminator movie.

still kinda dope except for the beeping noise in boss theme. And the difficulty 💀
Great hack!
Has anyone ever hacked Sunman back into Superman? Too bad its harder to change music.
