Terminator, The (SEGA)

Online version of Terminator, The (SEGA) for SEGA Game Gear. The Terminator for Sega consoles is an action platformer based on the 1984 film, written by the British studio Probe Software and released by Virgin Games in 1992 for the Genesis, the Master System and the Game Gear. The player is Kyle Reese and moves from the Skynet installations of 2029 through the streets of Los Angeles in 1984 to the factory where the terminator has to be crushed in a press. The future levels offer a machine gun, grenades and timed charges, while in the present the shotgun stays the main weapon. David Perry programmed the game, Nick Bruty drew the art and Matt Furniss wrote the music, and the character animation was filmed from real actors and digitised on an Amiga. The 1993 Sega CD release is not a port of this game but a separate one.

SEGA Game Gear Handheld

Online emulated version of Terminator, The (SEGA) was originally developed for the SEGA Game Gear an 8-bit fourth generation handheld game console released by Sega on October 6, 1990 in Japan, in April 1991 throughout North America and Europe, and during 1992 in Australia. The Game Gear primarily competed with Nintendo's Game Boy, the Atari Lynx, and NEC's TurboExpress. It shares much of its hardware with the Master System, and can play Master System games by the use of an adapter. Sega positioned the Game Gear, which had a full-color backlit screen with a landscape format, as a technologically superior handheld to the Game Boy. Reception of the Game Gear was mixed, with praise for its full-color backlit screen and processing power for its time, criticisms over its large size and short battery life, and questions over the quality of its game library.

Game Gear was designed to be played while being held horizontally. The console contains an 8-bit 3.5 MHz Zilog Z80 chip for a central processing unit, the same as the Master System. Its screen measures 3.2 inches on the diagonal and is able to display up to 32 colors at a time from a total palette of 4096 colors, with a frame rate of 60 Hz at a display resolution of 160 × 144 non-square pixels. The screen is backlit in order to allow gamers to play in low-lighting situations. Powered by 6 AA batteries, the Game Gear has an approximate battery life of 3 to 5 hours.
