Great episode... very funny as usual. The ending is particularly great... LJN? :lol:
Decent game, but the Sega CD one is better... better graphics, better gameplay, a more challenging and more fun (and less frustrating, at least initially) game, videos from the movie... and it's actually not a port of their Genesis game, it's an original title! Amazing, that was rare... and welcome, when the results are that good.
Oh, there's also a SMS/GG one, looks sort of like a downgraded version of the Genesis one. Those three were done by Virgin, who seems to have made better games than Mindscape's... but they still have no saving (password or otherwise) or continues. Bah. They did do one thing Mindscape didn't, though -- there are level-select cheat codes in all three games. Mindscape couldn't be bothered to do even that!
Anyway, yeah, that Sega CD game is good. But those NES and SNES ones... and the NES one in particular... sure, games were harder. That's no excuse for that kind of thing. None at all.
It is kind of funny, though... while the Virgin titles did have those level-skip codes, apart from that, no The Terminator game (that is, based on the first movie) has either continues or saving. They all have 'you die, that's game over'. Heck, in the Genesis one you even only have one life... you have a health bar, but die and that's it, start over from scratch. It does seem to be a short game, but even so, that kind of thing is annoying.

Loved the wrench bit.
