Terminator, The (Mega Drive) price, value & rarity
A Virgin film adaptation, The Terminator has you play the cyborg or the resistance fighter across action and shooting levels blending the devastated future and 1984 Los Angeles. The film-faithful mood and a few striking backdrops give it character, but the repetitive gameplay, a frustrating difficulty and a plain presentation place it in the average of licensed games. A curiosity for fans of the film and collectors of movie tie-ins, less so for demanding action fans.
