Terminator 2 – The Arcade Game on Genesis is one of those early '90s movie tie-ins that actually got it right. You start off blasting through downtown LA with that chunky Genesis soundtrack pumping in the background—it’s all digitized gunfire and explosions, just like the arcade version but somehow crammed into a cartridge. The first time a T-1000 oozes out of a wall at you? Still creepy.

It’s basically a rail shooter where you’re either John Connor or the T-800 (Arnold’s pixelated face is weirdly charming), mowing down enemies with shotguns, miniguns—you name it. The controls are simple, but those later levels get brutal fast. Pro tip: save your grenades for the helicopter fight. That thing’s a bullet sponge.

Honestly, it’s janky in that way only early '90s action games are, but the sheer chaos of it makes up for the rough edges. If you grew up with this or just love weird retro movie games, it’s a blast.
