I'm dead serious. That game was the worst thing I ever played in my life, and I got so mad that I turned off the GB, took out the game, and tossed it like a skipping stone into its watery grave. My life has been so much happier ever since.
Blue Bros No. There is a moral line I simply will not cross, and knowing someone else's life would be ruined by this horrible game would be a sin. It would be blood money if I made a cent from this wretched abomination.
Fun fact: Sunsoft was originally going to make T2 NES but LJN got the licence partway through development, Sunsoft then turned their existing game into a generic scifi-platformer in the vein of mega man or Metroid. It's also better than LJN's T2 game.
True story, I never got past the motorcycle level, had to return the game to blockbuster before I figured it out, and immediately after I thought "wait, can you shoot backwards?". All these years later, it's really nice to get the confirmation that yes, you can
I had that last one, but for the Sega. Exact same game, but I was so hellbent on finishing it. I got to the mall stage, got to John Conners house, got to the hospital, but after many years, I never ever beat it. That driving stage is the most frustrating thing I've ever experienced within a game, and I actually got alright at it after a while, but still couldn't pass it in the later levels. It was ridiculous.
When AVGN, one of the greatest and most reliable Internet reviewers of all time, tells you to never play a shitty game, you should probably listen to him.
Bro, I love you so much. You are the best reviewer on the planet, all the pain and suffering that I went through as a child playing these games, figuring it out without the use of the Internet or any game magazine. Having to rent the game multiple times just to get past one level and then get stuck at another one priceless
This game was awesome! FInished it without any help. I kept dying at the motorcycle stage and was like man this game sucks. Didn't play it for a year or so, then one day revisited and completed it. Great achievement :P .
The head-on collision with the truck had me in tears. Holy shit, trying to control the motorcycle looks like a hilariously frustrating adventure of its own.
I played that SNES T2 game so much as a kid. It's been about 30 years since I played it last and I still remember what dogshit the driving controls were.
I used to have he SNES port, spent so many miserable days trying to beat it, and I still remember the horrors of the driving stages; every time I finished one it felt like a major achievement
"They took somebody as badass as the Terminator and made him into a mockery." Arnold's "Carl" character in Dark Fate in a nutshell Also applies to the franchise post-T2
Me and my dad liked what they did with Carl. It was cool to see that a terminator can have a normal life and raise a family. Also there’s a scene where a dog is standing beside Carl and not barking aggressively. My dad loved it when he saw that.
Had the T2 on Game Boy (not the arcade one), and I loved it as a kid. Yeah it was a bit hard to finish it with one life, but I enjoyed it. And the opening theme was pretty good as well. For me one of the few decent games of LJN
Hi.. great video James!just wanna share. when i was a kid i finished the T2 version on the Gameboy and it was hard.i actually replayed the game several times and found it enjoyable.after watching your vid can definitely say that it was a good thing i only played thr Gameboy ver.. Kudos man!
The driving segment in T2 SNES is bar none the funniest gameplay footage I have ever seen. I'm seeing it as if it's chopper footage of a real life police chase.
6:40 I still had ammo when I reached to that part. The game actually takes away your weapons because you have to jump at the T-1000 to make him fall into the lava 11:23 the Sega Genesis/Mega Drive version driving controls is a bit easier than the SNES one. Hostile drivers won't spawn if you match the speed of the regular vehicles.
Terminator 2 is my favorite movie, and I thought that the NES version of T2 looked pretty good considering it's a movie tie-in video game published by LJN. Heck, I think I'm gonna add that to my retro game collection someday.
That T2 SNES game always cracks me up, with The Terminator jumping around like an idiot while that crazy music plays and shit randomly explodes in the background.
and what's interesting is that it was developed by Beam Software who developed the Punisher games on the NES and Game Boy. What's even crazy is that some of the unused tracks in the Game Boy port of T2: The Arcade Game are actually taken from NARC.
"Everything in this bar blows up for no apparent reason" It reminds me of AVGN's room, like seriously he just shoots his tv screen and his entire room is blowing up
I've spent countless hours of my childhood trying to figure out the SNES T2 driving stage as mentioned at 11:42 It truly is the worst driving controls I've ever played. I never got past that second stage. SO BAD!
true. LJN's misfortune was pretty much that they were put in a ''Don't shoot the messenger'' position, but as the old adage goes, everyone has to start somewhere, which is the case for companies like Westone (who developed Jaws), and Atlus (who developed Karate Kid, Friday the 13th, and NFL Football)
I hate to admit it, but there is one video game thats based off a movie (that I hate with every fiber of my being) that is fucking awesome!!! Wolverine Origins!!! That is the only game I have ever 100% completed trophy-wise.I kinda, no, I really wanna play it now!!! BRB!
5:19 Thing-a-ma-fucker. Sounds like my aunts vibrator that I discovered when I was 8. I came downstairs holding it turned on with my family in the living room. My grandma took it out of my hand and didn't know how to turn it off. I didn't know what it was at the time lol. We all laugh about it now.
Holy sh!t, can't believe it, I remember beating the Terminator 2 nes game as a kid, I'm awesome to put up with so much bullsh!t, and I did it while it was rented too.
I hated T2 for Gameboy so much that I threw it in the Tennessee River when I was on vacation.
lol
+Snuggle Cuddles i couldn't stop laugh

I can imagine the creators of the SNES version laughing while telling another, "Look how we animated the jump!"
He looks like Hank hill lol
100%%%
"They just scream. Big improvement."
Might be the best out of context quote ever.
"The beatings will continue until morale improves" 🤣
I wonder if any of the original programmers from LJN ever saw the AVGN videos.. Gotta be.
The company didn't develop any games, only published stuff made by Rareware, Atlus etc...
+SeGa32xXx1 LJN still had programmers. Just for clarification, we're you even alive before 1995? Or did you get that fact from a Wikipedia article?
How many of you had the chance to watch Michael Jordan play live?

What game is it?
I don't remember the title. it was featured in nintendo power back in....I think 2011. That was the first I heard about it.
I believe so
Well pretty sure Sunsoft would have fucked it up just as bad lol
journey to silius is actually a pretty good game hard but fun at least I thought it was hard HVGN actually reviewed it thats why i bought it
He looks kind of like Hank Hill in the SNES one.
I sell propane and propane accessories

9:34 Why does the Terminator look like Hank Hill?
"I sell propane and Propane accessories".
I'll be back, I tell you what.
I was thinking the same thing he really does look like Hank Hill
Hank Hill is: The Propaneinator.

That's ridiculously funny.
No. The gold ones were made by Saddam Hoessein. Same production line as the golden AK47
omg every time i see this AVGN episode i just..cant control my laugh seeing arnold jump like crazy..and your comments make it even more funny xD
oh and hank hill at the end
11:47 That part had me in tears. The motorcycle must've been made of titanium or something equivalent to it. Lmao
Glad I wasn't the only one thats like a GTA chaos mod moment there

Why isn't LJN the main villian in the avgn games?
It is, in AVGN game 1, there is a level called Laughing Joking Numbnuts, IIRC.
They went Out Of Business back in the 1995
NintendoFanboy 2001 but then they were bought out by acclaim to continue to make games like spirit of speed
@@NintendoFanatic2001errrm it was actually in 1994

When Terminator was naked, it reminded me of that Bart scene from The Simpsons Movie.
Same. But we get a glimpse of Bart's tiny wiener..
We don't see Arnold's bazooka.
In the super nintendo game the terminator looks like Hank Hill from king of the hill. That'll teach them to not buy any propane!
+Jacob “SupermanmXYZ” Sullivan Oh my gosh I am not the only one who thought that.

Hank Hill?

This game was awesome! FInished it without any help. I kept dying at the motorcycle stage and was like man this game sucks.
Didn't play it for a year or so, then one day revisited and completed it. Great achievement :P .
"At last you fight T1000...........with your fists >_>" LOL ! I laugh so hard at that part every time :))
Did they see the frickin' movie?!
After all this time, I actually really like the death screen of the NES version of T2.
The head-on collision with the truck had me in tears. Holy shit, trying to control the motorcycle looks like a hilariously frustrating adventure of its own.
The motorcycle sidewalking was brutal 🤣
Lol!! Definitely one of the funniest AVGN episodes, all thanks to the wonderful LJN. Great video you guys!
Hey I just met you
And this is crazy
But I'm from the future

LOOOOOOOOLLLL Oh god....
Nice!

I played that SNES T2 game so much as a kid. It's been about 30 years since I played it last and I still remember what dogshit the driving controls were.
Yeah, the golden Terminator is called the Pimpinator.
Was it made by Mick and Ralph in over in Freeside, New Vegas? You know, the creators of the PimpBoy 3000.
They are Golden retrievers
I used to have he SNES port, spent so many miserable days trying to beat it, and I still remember the horrors of the driving stages; every time I finished one it felt like a major achievement
The last one is actually Hank Hill from King of the Hill.
I completed this on the Gameboy :) was only game i had on a school holiday
I still have nightmares about T2 on the Game Boy. One of the hardest games I've ever played.
Arnold in Terminator 2 for Super NES looks more like Hank Hill dressed as Neo xD
Oh jeez, now I can't unsee it
I loved playing the arcade version at the Embassy Suites in Parsippany, NJ. It was in a small room in the pool area, along with Mortal Kombat II.
he looks like hank hill in that last game lol
I sell Skynet, and Skynet accessories...
Ahsta La Vista...I tell you hwaht
dang it johnny
Ah, I remember T2 on my NES as a kid. I think it took my well over 5 years before I managed to beat level 2.
9:23 that's not Terminator. It's Hank Hill.
3:35 The guy you are fighting looks like Lobo from DC Comics
9:33 Why does Arnold look like Hank Hill? XD
I'd like to buy some propane, Arnold.
I sell propane and propane accessories, I'll tell you what.
It's pretty obvious he's out in the boonies. Maybe he was trying to sell propane and propane accessories.
Good thing those terminators aren't running on clean burning propane, otherwise they'd be invincible I tell ya hwat.
Goodbye? Why not Hasta la vista?
He said that because those words were in the movie
Because that’s what Arnold says at the end in the movie
Probably trying to imitate... THAT person, you know, that type who misquotes popular movie lines.
@@ExplorerDS6789 chill out, dickwad
Probably because "hasta la vista" means "until next time", but there ain't gonna be a next time!
James was way more relaxed and lethargic in this one
Maybe this was when he drank a few Rolling Rocks beforehand.
"They took somebody as badass as the Terminator and made him into a mockery."

T-3 was not bad
I never saw it due do superhero director making it.
@@Replica_Films2000 t3 was just t2 but a parody and bad ending

PLAY THE HIT NINTENDO GAME FROM ACCLAIM/LJN ENTERTAINMENT.
11:23 Ride to Hell: Retribution 2D version
"Never ever play this game"... unfortunately I did buy it as a kid... yeah never passed the motorcycle level.
Hi.. great video James!just wanna share. when i was a kid i finished the T2 version on the Gameboy and it was hard.i actually replayed the game several times and found it enjoyable.after watching your vid can definitely say that it was a good thing i only played thr Gameboy ver.. Kudos man!

You were probably the one driving
There was one excuse for why the games were bad: LJN
I think punisher was about the only good one.
Oh no! Not the Rainbow ahaha!
In T2 SNES, the Terminator seriously looks like Hank Hill.
T2 for NES by LJN was actually a good game, I liked it when I was young.
T2 is a masterpiece, one of my favorite movies ever.
Its a thumbs up.
Loved the ending!
“Goodbye, baby!”
I almost fell off the toilet, when you threw that game into the molten metal. LOL!!
1:45 How Terminator: Dark Fate treated the franchise in a nutshell.
The only bad Terminator movie imo.
They totally messed up the story/ characters we used to love.
"Collect future objects" meaning you have to shoot and destroy them. I've been collecting videogames wrong for more than 10 years.
Illustrations/Help - Mike Matei. That “help” was priceless.
“I know now vhy you cry…but it is something I can neva dooooh.”
9:04 the fact that they spelled "judgement" wrong is just absolutely hilarious
That's the correct spelling though.
4:17 This is just like the big smoke mission from san andreas
Death to PG all you had to do was shoot the damn gates and truck Arnie!
Needs more Russian mobsters.
6:24 im almost sure its a gfx glitch, there should be more lava where the pipe is...
Imagine the Nerd's reaction to the snes's final boss where the T-1000 falls into the vat and you still have to fight him.
9:26 They made the T-800 look less like Arnold Schwarzenegger, and more like Hank Hill from King of the Hill.
'_'
Oh man I’m laughing to tears at that driving stage 🤣🤣
That game made my dad very rich. He was the lead designer for the whole series. I'm loaded 🎉
6:40 I still had ammo when I reached to that part. The game actually takes away your weapons because you have to jump at the T-1000 to make him fall into the lava
11:23 the Sega Genesis/Mega Drive version driving controls is a bit easier than the SNES one. Hostile drivers won't spawn if you match the speed of the regular vehicles.
Terminator 2 is my favorite movie, and I thought that the NES version of T2 looked pretty good considering it's a movie tie-in video game published by LJN. Heck, I think I'm gonna add that to my retro game collection someday.
The film's ended with part two.
That was the last actually good one.
That SNES Arnold looks like Hank Hill in a leather jacket.
I'll be back I'll tell you what.
He kinda does look like hank hill
He does. I also think in that other snes one with the ounching peeps out, the bombs look like gophers lol.
That T2 SNES game always cracks me up, with The Terminator jumping around like an idiot while that crazy music plays and shit randomly explodes in the background.
I had this game and I really didn't feel like a terminator
Well these games are bad so
I'd love to see the Nerd review the 3D Terminator games like T3 and Salvation. Could be a good way to celebrate Genesys or soemthing.
Only LJN would port an arcade shoot 'em up to Gameboy.
and what's interesting is that it was developed by Beam Software who developed the Punisher games on the NES and Game Boy. What's even crazy is that some of the unused tracks in the Game Boy port of T2: The Arcade Game are actually taken from NARC.
"Everything in this bar blows up for no apparent reason" It reminds me of AVGN's room, like seriously he just shoots his tv screen and his entire room is blowing up
I love Terminator 2 on the Snes, had this game during my childhood. could never remember the name, thanks James.
How the fuck couldn't you remember the name...?
WisconsinWrestling KFA because hes a vagina
Wisco Q Lol I’m dead!
I played the T2 arcade cabinet at Comic-Con once
Realm of the Enders It's every good citizen's duty to have played this game at least once, so kudos to you
Dude the snes version is making me giggle like a loon. Him hopping around like that 😂
2:50 Idk why but James making noises like that is hilarious to me. 😂
hank hill strickland propane
primary mission:
destroy tatterthon fuels
and eliminate all charcoal products
Terminator 3: The Redemption = Best Terminator Game
Nope, Terminator on Sega CD is the best one.
how about Journey to Silius? 😂😂😂
The jumping on T2 snes is the exact same as Jim Halpert dancing on the office lol.
I still try to forget that one SNES version of T2: Judgment Day. T2: The Arcade Game and Terminator: Redemption were examples of good games.
The jump at 6:16 is almost as bad as TMNT's jump where you just have to walk over the platforms..
He should've reviewed the SNES version of "Robocop vs Terminator".
Sega version is WAYYYY better.
Ahhhhh, the Terminator theme song pierces my soul.
5:13 NOW I SEE IT! LOL
Fun fact, license issues made it nearly impossible to use the main Terminator theme in nearly every video game of the same name.
10:41, apparently, the Nerd needs some better glasses, because clearly, there is a red skull there
I'm surprised that the Nerd actually managed to *beat* one of LJN's "Terminator 2: Judgement Day" games! 😆
I've spent countless hours of my childhood trying to figure out the SNES T2 driving stage as mentioned at 11:42
It truly is the worst driving controls I've ever played.
I never got past that second stage. SO BAD!
The driving is the over world, not the second stage.
SuperVideoMaster That makes it even more of a crap game. I couldn't even get to the second stage!
by the way, LJN is only a publisher, so they didn't really make those bad games.
however, they allowed those games to be released.
Yeah, and they allowed ONLY bad games to be released.
Same can be said about EA... Yet we hate EA. So LJN is still to blame.
true. LJN's misfortune was pretty much that they were put in a ''Don't shoot the messenger'' position, but as the old adage goes, everyone has to start somewhere, which is the case for companies like Westone (who developed Jaws), and Atlus (who developed Karate Kid, Friday the 13th, and NFL Football)
I hate to admit it, but there is one video game thats based off a movie (that I hate with every fiber of my being) that is fucking awesome!!! Wolverine Origins!!! That is the only game I have ever 100% completed trophy-wise.I kinda, no, I really wanna play it now!!! BRB!

+Nate Dawg Alladin is a good movie based game. i don't get why nobody ever mentions it.

5:43-5:50.; As usual, The Angry Video Game Nerd never ceases to amaze me.
2:49 even James' sound effect sounds better..
(9:40) I laughed a lot when I saw that jump
I'll be back... ah tell ya what.
5:19 Thing-a-ma-fucker. Sounds like my aunts vibrator that I discovered when I was 8. I came downstairs holding it turned on with my family in the living room. My grandma took it out of my hand and didn't know how to turn it off. I didn't know what it was at the time lol. We all laugh about it now.
