Terminator - A History of the Game

The first Terminator game released for DOS PCs in 1990. In the game you could either play as Kyle Reese who was assigned to protect Sarah or as the Terminator whose sole duty was to terminate her. When Terminator 2: Judgment Day was released in 1991, it was a huge hit and was regarded as one of best sci-fi movies to have ever been made. So it was hardly surprising that a number of video game developers tried to cash in on the success of Terminator II, and developed video games that more or less faithfully stuck to the plot of the movie.

Of all the all games pre 1995 games, The Terminator released by Virgin Games got the best reviews and not surprisingly sold the most copies as well. The game had a decent storyline which cleverly blended the plots of the Terminator (Part 1) and The Robocop Vs. The Terminator, a comic book published by Dark Horse Comics. Another well designed video game was The Terminator: Rampage on the PC, which was released in 1993 by Bertha Softworks. In the game, SkyNet goes back in time to wreak havoc on inhabitants of the 20th century. It was basically a first person shooter and quite an interesting one at that. So if you enjoyed the all time classic Wolfenstein, then you are sure to like this one as well.

In 2003 when the world was bracing itself to watch an aged, shriveled up (Thank God, I don't live in California) Terminator battle the luscious Kristanna Loken in Terminator: The Rise of Machines, Infogames made hay while the sun shone by releasing Terminator: Dawn of Fate for PS2 and Xbox. In the game the player gets to play as Kyle Reese and have to complete a number of challenging missions and protect the world from being taken over by evil machines.

After the movie hit the cinema halls in 2003, Terminator 3:War of the Machines was released by Atari. The game was developed for PS2, Xbox and Game Boy Advance. A PC version was also released soon after. After a slew of Terminator games, most of which had players play as other characters, this game finally let gamers play as the Terminator himself.

In 2004, Terminator 3: The Redemption was released for GameCube, PS2 and Xbox. Though the game is a spin-off of the T3 movie but has several interesting sub plots, which suggest that there was much more action in movie than was shown to the audience. (So play the game to experience the vials of adrenaline that mysteriously went missing from the movie)

All the Terminator movies were so successful, because they had a hidden message: Machines if they are allowed to rule our lives will soon take over the planet...or something to that effect. But seriously who gives a damn when you have a PS2, a copy of the Rise of the machines and some free time to raise hell and blast away the baddies.
