The Terminator Overview
"The Terminator" is a DOS adaptation of its film source, presenting a 3D open-world where players experience the core conflict from opposing sides. One can assume the role of Kyle Reese, tasked with protecting Sarah Connor, or control the Terminator itself with the objective of eliminating both her and her protector.
The game's setting is Los Angeles, a large area that can be explored on foot or via vehicles. While each protagonist has a single, clear primary objective, the open world allows for side activities like car hijacking and driving. These optional actions do not affect the main plot.
Gameplay involves pursuing the opposing character across the city. To aid in this conflict, players must acquire weapons and equipment, which can be obtained through purchase or theft. This activity draws police attention, adding another layer of avoidance to the central chase and combat.
