Terminator, The (NES)

Online version of Terminator, The (NES) for NES. The Terminator for NES is an action game based on the 1984 film, released in December 1992 by Mindscape under a sublicence from Bethesda. Despite the shared name it has nothing in common with the Sega console versions or the PC game; it was written by the Canadian studio Radical Entertainment and has a structure of its own. The player is Kyle Reese and works through 6 missions that alternate side-scrolling platform sections with top-down driving stages. The machine gun and grenades are available only in the opening mission set in 2029, while in Los Angeles in 1984 Kyle fights bare-handed and relies on vehicles. The game is still cited as the weakest treatment of the first film.

NES Console

Online emulated version of Terminator, The (NES) was originally developed for the Nintendo Entertainment System (NES), an 8-bit third-generation home video game cartridge-based console produced by Nintendo, first released in Japan as the Family Computer (commonly known as the Famicom) in 1983. The NES, a face-lifted version, was released internationally in the following years. The NES featured a number of groundbreaking games, such as the platform game Super Mario Bros, the action-adventure game The Legend of Zelda and the action game Metroid. As one of the best-selling gaming consoles of its time, the NES helped revitalize the US video game industry following the video game crash of 1983.

The game controller used for both the NES and the Famicom features an oblong brick-like design with a simple four button layout: two round buttons labeled `A` and `B`, a `START` button, and a `SELECT` button. Additionally, the controllers utilize the cross-shaped joypad, designed by Nintendo employee Gunpei Yokoi, for Nintendo Game & Watch systems, to replace the bulkier joysticks on earlier gaming consoles' controllers.
