It recently opened pre-orders, which have since sold out, for a recreated version of the 1982 Tron arcade game.

The surprise announcement of the Terminator 2 machine from Arcade1Up joins several other new machines in its holiday lineup. T2 will cost $699.99, with a planned “post-holiday ship date.” The Terminator 2 Arcade1Up cabinet, like other games in the same line, will ship disassembled, with a skinny LCD monitor panel, a light-up marquee, and on-chip hardware running both proprietary and licensed game emulators. The last three levels of T2 are a rough adaptation of the last act of the film, including the attack on Cyberdyne and the famous liquid-nitrogen scene. Players take on the role of the reprogrammed T-800 (Arnold Schwarzenegger) as it fights alongside an adult John Connor.Īt the end of the fourth stage, the player is sent back in time to pursue a new model of Terminator (Robert Patrick) that Skynet’s dispatched to assassinate John as a child (Edward Furlong). Notably, the first four stages of the T2 game are all set before the events of the film, during the war against Skynet’s forces in 2029. After its arcade run, it was adapted by Acclaim for multiple console ports, including the Genesis, Sega Master System, Super Nintendo, and Game Boy.

The Terminator 2 arcade game debuted a few months after the movie did, on Halloween 1991, and reportedly entered development at around the same time James Cameron signed on to direct T2.
