New Terminator lightgun game in the works

17.03.2009
In a nod to Midway's classic 1992 arcade classic Terminator 2: Judgment Day, an arcade lightgun shooter based on the upcoming Christian Bale film Terminator Salvation is in the works.

To this day, Terminator 2: Judgment Day is still considered one of the all-time classic arcade lightgun shooters. Based on the phenomenally popular film, the Midway-developed game was considered state-of-the-art for its time due to its digitized graphics and Schwarzenegger sound bites. It was also really hard -- anyone remember trying to save John Connor in the truck, or trying to kill the T-1000 once and for all? Hard times, my friends, hard times.
