Terminator, The (SEGA)

Online version of Terminator, The (SEGA) for SEGA Genesis. 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 Genesis / Mega Drive

Online emulated version of Terminator, The (SEGA) was originally developed for the Sega Genesis known as the Mega Drive outside North America. It was a 16-bit fourth-generation home video game console developed and sold by Sega. The Genesis is Sega's third console and the successor to the Master System. Sega released it as the Mega Drive in Japan in 1988, and later as the Genesis in North America in 1989. In 1990, it was distributed as the Mega Drive by Virgin Mastertronic in Europe.
Designed by an R&D team supervised by Hideki Sato and Masami Ishikawa, the Genesis was adapted from Sega's System 16 arcade board, centered on a Motorola 68000 processor as the CPU, a Zilog Z80 as a sound controller, and a video system supporting hardware sprites, tiles, and scrolling. It plays a library of more than 900 games created by Sega and a wide array of third-party publishers delivered on ROM-based cartridges. Several add-ons were released, including a Power Base Converter to play Master System games. It was released in several different versions, some created by third parties.

Contributing to its success were its library of arcade game ports, the popularity of Sega's Sonic the Hedgehog series, several popular sports franchises, and aggressive youth marketing that positioned it as the cool console for adolescents. 30.75 million first-party Genesis units were sold worldwide.
