Hello, I was thinking about a type of side scroling shooter/ beat em up. Maybe you could have a grenade launcher and you had to blow up the cop cars and try to destroy the t 1000 as the final level.

Terminator 2 judgement day is the second Terminator film, starring Arnold Shwatzaniga (who's name I am probably mangling the spelling of).

Like the other Terminator films, it's about a future war betwene humans and machines, where the machines send a terminator robot back in tieme to kill off the leader of the resistance, John conner.

In the 1st film, they attempt to kill his mother by sending a T800, a robot covered with living human tissue (played by the big man from Brustles), and the human resistance send back a human resistance fighter to protect her.

the 2nd film takes place when John's actually twelve years old. the humans send back a reprogrammed T800 (oncemore played by Arny), to protect John, but the machines attack with the t1000, another humanoid robot, but this time made out of liquid metal, so that it can do things like absorb bullits, completely change it's appearence, and form knives out of it's hands.

So most of the film is the duel betwene the two terminators, as well as some temporal paradox stuff where John and co try and stop the war from ever happening in the first place. A very nice film all round, lots of bombs, and guns but also some quite interesting stuff about morality and what it means to be human.

Se This Wikipedia artical about the film for all the details.

obviously apart from being a classic film, terminator 2 had several computer games made of it, so it's just as reasonable to think of making a Terminator audio game as it would be one based on any other successful film or Tv series, as I said, a good thing assuming you wouldn't be killed by copywrite lores.

in fact, sinse Terminator 2 was such a a heavy action film (though stil as I said interesting in the plot department), it might translate slightly better into an action orientated run and gun or punch game better than something like Star trek.

Well personally for a terminator game, I deffinately think side scrolling levels would be good, but also maybe a few racing style car chases, and sterrio targiting gun battles as well, just to give the game progression, ----- something like Tarzan Junior though hopefully without those annoying bees.

Btw, Cj, tom is apparently talking about releasing a Montizooma's revenge Beta in June, so hopefully there should be at least one new side scroller very soon.

Agreed. I probably don't need to say the word Rpg in this contex, but also I deffinately think advances should be made on the war stratogy genre. Galaxy ranger is good, but deffinately more could be done with this type of thing.

A true audio beat em up would also be good, though I suspect we'll get one of those comparatively soon.

Um, I hope I don't sound dumb, but, Dark, how would you carry out these car chases?  Would it be set up like Top Speed or Mach 1 with the sound panning when you needed to turn?  I also would like strategy and beat 'em up games; there's too much of these Space Invaders line 'em up in the middle and blast them.  I hope we come across something new soon.
