The SNES game based on James Cameron's classic 1984 film is an action
game where the player takes the role of Kyle Reese, sent from the
future to protect Sarah Connor from the Terminator.
The game has
two kinds of levels: in several scrolling platform levels, Reese runs
and jumps, shooting at Terminators (in the future war level that begins
the game), street punks or policemen.
The film's chase scenes
are recreated in two driving sequences. Viewed from behind, Reese and
Sarah must escape the Terminator's pursuit in their car, dodging
incoming traffic and avoiding the Terminator's fire.
