the terminator

the terminator loosely follows the plot of the 1984 arnold schwarzenegger film. the game begins in the future, where the hero kyle reese must battle through a post-apocalyptic future in order to go back in time to 1984 los angeles. once there, he must progress through various checkpoints as outlined by the main movie plot: find sarah connor, shootout at the police station, and the climax in the factory. the main levels of the game consist of side-scrolling jumping and shooting action. in between levels are car chases where the terminator attempts to run you down as you race to your next destination.
