'''''T2: The Arcade Game''''' (Ｔ２ ジ・アーケードゲーム, though some Sega documents simply use the English title) is an arcade game developed by [[Midway]] inspired by the movie, ''[[wikipedia:Terminator_2:_Judgment_Day|Terminator 2: Judgment Day]]''. It was ported to the [[Sega Mega Drive]], [[Sega Master System]] and [[Sega Game Gear]]. The Mega Drive version of the game is compatible with the [[Sega Menacer]].
+
'''''{{PAGENAME}}''''' (Ｔ２ ジ・アーケードゲーム), is a light-gun arcade game originally released by [[Midway Manufacturing]] in 1991. In its original form, it was simply known as ''Terminator 2: Judgment Day'', after the [[wikipedia:Terminator_2:_Judgment_Day|film of the same name]]. When brought to home consoles the following year, it was renamed. It should not to be confused with the different ''[[Terminator 2: Judgment Day]]'' game released around the same period. Despite the change in title, this game is often referred simply as "T2", which is prone to cause confusion.
 +
 
 +
''T2: The Arcade Game'' was ported to the [[Sega Mega Drive]], [[Sega Master System]] and [[Sega Game Gear]]. The Mega Drive version of the game is compatible with the [[Sega Menacer]].
 +
 
 +
A [[Sega Mega-CD]] version appears to have been planned (with a US release of August 1993{{magref|sv|14|104}}), but was cancelled for unknown reasons.
 +
 
 +
==Story==
 +
The story of the game falls in line with the movie ''Terminator 2: Judgment Day'': to save the leader of the Human Resistance, John Connor, and his mother Sarah from the T-1000, an advanced prototype Terminator bent on killing them both. The player takes the role of a T-800 Terminator cyborg, already captured and reprogrammed by the human resistance, and fights alongside them against Skynet in the year 2029. Eventually, the T-800 and John Connor penetrate Skynet's headquarters and destroy the system CPU. Discovering the time displacement equipment, the T-800 is sent back through time to John's childhood, with the mission to protect him from the T-1000 that Skynet has already sent back. In the past, John, Sarah, and the T-800 launch an attack on Cyberdyne Systems in order to prevent the development and creation of Skynet. The T-1000 catches up to the group and pursues them in a police helicopter and a liquid nitrogen truck. The T-800 is able to freeze and shatter the T-1000 with the liquid nitrogen, but it quickly melts and reforms in order to continue its pursuit of John. Ultimately, the T-800 must stop the T-1000 from killing John and blast it into a vat of molten steel to destroy it.
 +
 
 +
Two endings are possible, depending on the outcome of the Cyberdyne raid. If all equipment is destroyed, the player receives a message that Judgment Day has been averted; otherwise, the company's research will continue and Judgment Day remains a possibility.
 +
 
 +
==Gameplay==
 +
===Mega Drive version===
 +
The game is a first-person rail shooter. The first half of the game takes place during the human/machine war in 2029, and the second half takes place during John Connor's childhood in the 1990s. Stages scroll automatically. Sometimes a certain amount of enemies or locks have to be taken out to proceed. Various items are hidden that provide benefits such as increased firepower or extra credits. Players lose points at the end of the level for killing civilians.
 +
 
 +
The game supports play using a control pad or [[Sega Menacer]]. Using a control pad, the D-Pad moves the targeting crosshair. Unlike most light gun games, players are equipped with machine guns that are fired continuously by holding the trigger on the Menacer or {{B}} on a control pad. While the gun has unlimited ammunition, it gradually overheats and loses efficiency, so players must let it cool off occasionally by not firing for a duration. Each player has a gunpower gauge that indicates this and decreases as the gun is fired. Players also have a secondary weapon, a rocket launcher in the stages set in 2029 and a shotgun in the stages set in the 1990s, which is fired by pressing the top button on the Menacer or {{A}} on a control pad.
 +
 
 +
Players have energy gauges that indicate their health. If the energy gauge is depleted, the player is defeated and can only continue playing at the cost of one credit. The score does not reset upon continuing. The quantity and positioning of enemies sometimes makes it impossible to avoid damage, meaning the game cannot be cleared without using continues.
 +
 
 +
The game supports two-player simultaneous play, with both players using control pads or with one player using the Menacer and the other player using a control pad. Players share credits. The number of starting credits can be set in the options menu.

==History==
 +
===Legacy===
 +
The arcade game ''[[Revolution X]]'', also developed by [[Midway]], is a spiritual successor to this game. It was ported to the [[Mega Drive]] in 1995 and to the [[Saturn]] in 1996.
 +
 
 +
[[Probe Entertainment]], which ported ''T2: The Arcade Game'' to home consoles, created its own spiritual successor, ''[[Body Count]]''. It was released for the Mega Drive in 1994.
 +
 
 +
==Versions==
 +
Compared to the arcade version and the [[Super NES]] port, the [[Sega Mega Drive]] differs greatly in terms of visuals and slightly in content. Visually, the Mega Drive game mainly features redrawn pixel artwork instead of the digitized graphics of the arcade and Super NES versions, and the palette has been considerably brightened. In terms of content, enemy layout has been altered. There is no wall and no resistance soldiers before stage 1 boss, no elevator in stage 3 (also missing in the SNES port), no enemy helicopters in the Cyberdyne stage, no rope SWAT in the Cyberdyne stage and final stage, and other changes. There are also some missing speech samples (most notably in the final stage after meeting the T-1000 for the first time the liquid nitrogen fight). In both the Mega Drive and SNES versions, the ending cinematic has been replaced by a single picture of John Connor.
 +
 
 +
The 8-bit versions contain differences in stage layout and item placement. They contain the MIRV warhead item, which is also present in the arcade and Super NES versions but absent from the Mega Drive version.

Non-Sega versions

T2: The Arcade Game (Ｔ２ ジ・アーケードゲーム), is a light-gun arcade game originally released by Midway Manufacturing in 1991. In its original form, it was simply known as Terminator 2: Judgment Day, after the film of the same name. When brought to home consoles the following year, it was renamed. It should not to be confused with the different Terminator 2: Judgment Day game released around the same period. Despite the change in title, this game is often referred simply as "T2", which is prone to cause confusion.

T2: The Arcade Game was ported to the Sega Mega Drive, Sega Master System and Sega Game Gear. The Mega Drive version of the game is compatible with the Sega Menacer.

A Sega Mega-CD version appears to have been planned (with a US release of August 1993[16]), but was cancelled for unknown reasons.

Story

The story of the game falls in line with the movie Terminator 2: Judgment Day: to save the leader of the Human Resistance, John Connor, and his mother Sarah from the T-1000, an advanced prototype Terminator bent on killing them both. The player takes the role of a T-800 Terminator cyborg, already captured and reprogrammed by the human resistance, and fights alongside them against Skynet in the year 2029. Eventually, the T-800 and John Connor penetrate Skynet's headquarters and destroy the system CPU. Discovering the time displacement equipment, the T-800 is sent back through time to John's childhood, with the mission to protect him from the T-1000 that Skynet has already sent back. In the past, John, Sarah, and the T-800 launch an attack on Cyberdyne Systems in order to prevent the development and creation of Skynet. The T-1000 catches up to the group and pursues them in a police helicopter and a liquid nitrogen truck. The T-800 is able to freeze and shatter the T-1000 with the liquid nitrogen, but it quickly melts and reforms in order to continue its pursuit of John. Ultimately, the T-800 must stop the T-1000 from killing John and blast it into a vat of molten steel to destroy it.

Two endings are possible, depending on the outcome of the Cyberdyne raid. If all equipment is destroyed, the player receives a message that Judgment Day has been averted; otherwise, the company's research will continue and Judgment Day remains a possibility.

Gameplay

Mega Drive version

The game is a first-person rail shooter. The first half of the game takes place during the human/machine war in 2029, and the second half takes place during John Connor's childhood in the 1990s. Stages scroll automatically. Sometimes a certain amount of enemies or locks have to be taken out to proceed. Various items are hidden that provide benefits such as increased firepower or extra credits. Players lose points at the end of the level for killing civilians.

The game supports play using a control pad or Sega Menacer. Using a control pad, the D-Pad moves the targeting crosshair. Unlike most light gun games, players are equipped with machine guns that are fired continuously by holding the trigger on the Menacer or B on a control pad. While the gun has unlimited ammunition, it gradually overheats and loses efficiency, so players must let it cool off occasionally by not firing for a duration. Each player has a gunpower gauge that indicates this and decreases as the gun is fired. Players also have a secondary weapon, a rocket launcher in the stages set in 2029 and a shotgun in the stages set in the 1990s, which is fired by pressing the top button on the Menacer or A on a control pad.

Players have energy gauges that indicate their health. If the energy gauge is depleted, the player is defeated and can only continue playing at the cost of one credit. The score does not reset upon continuing. The quantity and positioning of enemies sometimes makes it impossible to avoid damage, meaning the game cannot be cleared without using continues.

The game supports two-player simultaneous play, with both players using control pads or with one player using the Menacer and the other player using a control pad. Players share credits. The number of starting credits can be set in the options menu.

Master System and Game Gear versions

The Master System and Game Gear versions play similarly and have the same stages. The D-Pad aims the crosshair, 1 fires the gun, and 2 shoots the secondary weapon.

Both versions are single-player. There are three selectable difficulty levels (Easy, Normal, and Hard). The Master System version does not support the Light Phaser and can only be played with the control pad.

History

Legacy

The arcade game Revolution X, also developed by Midway, is a spiritual successor to this game. It was ported to the Mega Drive in 1995 and to the Saturn in 1996.

Probe Entertainment, which ported T2: The Arcade Game to home consoles, created its own spiritual successor, Body Count. It was released for the Mega Drive in 1994.

Versions

Compared to the arcade version and the Super NES port, the Sega Mega Drive differs greatly in terms of visuals and slightly in content. Visually, the Mega Drive game mainly features redrawn pixel artwork instead of the digitized graphics of the arcade and Super NES versions, and the palette has been considerably brightened. In terms of content, enemy layout has been altered. There is no wall and no resistance soldiers before stage 1 boss, no elevator in stage 3 (also missing in the SNES port), no enemy helicopters in the Cyberdyne stage, no rope SWAT in the Cyberdyne stage and final stage, and other changes. There are also some missing speech samples (most notably in the final stage after meeting the T-1000 for the first time the liquid nitrogen fight). In both the Mega Drive and SNES versions, the ending cinematic has been replaced by a single picture of John Connor.

The 8-bit versions contain differences in stage layout and item placement. They contain the MIRV warhead item, which is also present in the arcade and Super NES versions but absent from the Mega Drive version.
