TRIVIA

Released in November 1991.

Some enemies in Terminator 2 - Judgment Day (especially those from the Skynet Complex stage) were meant to be in the original Terminator 2 movie, unfortunately they were scrapped from the film because of budget issues.

TIPS AND TRICKS

* Bonus Trick on Stage 1 : On Stage 1, exoskeletons will sometimes pop up in the foreground. When this occurs, shoot the skull until a CPU appears. Shoot the CPU quickly and you can receive a bonus (points, shield, more energy, plasma cannon, etc)!

* As soon as John gets in the truck, start shooting the tires. If you
do this you'll make it to Skynet on your first try.
