Background[edit]
This particular Nintendo-clone was hugely popular in Poland[1], Serbia, Montenegro, Croatia, Bulgaria,[2][3]Romania, Pakistan, India, Kenya, Iran and Bosnia, throughout the late 1990s and early 2000s. The system has gained cult status, and was widely available on flea markets and even in some electronic stores. Due to political and economical restraints, the fourth and the fifth generation consoles such as the Sega Genesis, SNES, or PlayStation were not readily available in these countries. The third generation remained highly popular, particularly Terminator 2 which was the one of most successful Famicom clones. It left a mark in pop culture and 1990s-2000s youth, establishing itself as antonomasia for 8-bit video gaming, to the point of being more popular than the original NES in these regions.
Terminator 2, like most known Famicom clones, was compatible with 60-pin Famicom cartridges and NES games, which could be played using a special converter. Original Nintendo games were not popular however, due to mass copyright infringement and lack of officially licensed products on the market. The majority of the games sold with and for the system were cheap unlicensed copies, manufactured mostly in Russia and China. Games for the Terminator 2 were still widely available in Central and Eastern Europe throughout 2000s, mostly on street markets and in small toy stores.
The typical retail set included the system, two detachable controllers (both with 'turbo' buttons, which meant 4 buttons in total), a light gun, which also based on the original Nintendo gun accessory except the design, power supply and RF cable. The console had a built-in RF modulator, as well as mono audio and composite video through RCA connectors. The system itself could include built-in games, but most common versions were bundled with cartridges such as '1000000 in 1' or '9999999 in 1', supposedly featuring a million games, only a small number of which actually being separate games and the rest just renamed versions of the latter. Usually these were popular games such as: 'Super Mario Bros.' or 'Duck Hunt'. Sometimes they were renamed though, possibly in an attempt to avoid lawsuits.
Design[edit]
Terminator's box art was inspired by Japanese Sega Mega Drive 2, using colourful triangles in the background and similar logo writings.[4] The unit itself combines design patterns of both Japanese MD and MD 2, being similar size and shape to the later but having characteristic CD-ROM inspired circle around the cartridge slot and blue reset and power buttons inspired by earlier MD's reset button. Some sets even featured a controller which looked like 6 button controller for MD.[5]

The Terminator 2 consoles were mass-marketed by most of the major and smaller electronic stores. It is difficult to determine an exact price for the system, but in place like Gabrovo, Bulgaria in the mid 90s, one could buy it for the rough equivalent of €10. In Romania in 2015 it cost about €10, and in mid-90s roughly the equivalent of $7-10. In Sarajevo, Bosnia and Herzegovina after the Bosnian war it would cost equivalent of €15. In Poland it used to cost equivalent of €9 to €15 and the games €1 to €2. In Georgia, in early 2000s it used to cost equivalent of €6 to €15.
From 1998 until 2000, the Terminator 2 console used to cost €15 to €25 in Serbia. A normal price for a copied cartridge was €0.5 part of which were unauthorized '1,000,000 in 1' cartridges, containing several repeating games. In the early 2000s, Sony PlayStation became available in Serbia, making Terminator obsolete. In 2013 a price of the console was €11 and it was still sold in Chinese shopping malls throughout Serbia.

Bethesda Softworks’ follow-up to their flyin’, shootin’, and drivin’ action game, Terminator: Future Shock, may have started life as an expansion pack with some juicy new levels, but somewhere down the road it evolved into something larger. This standalone mini-sequel features a new campaign and storyline, new and sharper Super VGA graphics, and multiplayer features to rival heavyweights like Duke Nuken 3D or Quake.
The previous game, Future Shock, actually had some of Quake’s winning qualities That game, released nearly a year before id’s splatterfest, featured a polygonal environment and innovated the use of mouselook, but disappointed in its lack of multiplayer. SkyNET finally adds both online and local play alongside an eight mission campaign, but the main attraction here by far is the excellent deathmatch.
Like their role-playing epic Daggerfall, SkyNET uses Bethesda’s proprietary Xngine that allows the designers to create vast sprawling cities, and huge indoor settings within the same level. Combined with dark and gritty graphics and menacing terminators and bots, these expansive and desolate environments look really good. In most missions, you’re required to search through the burned-out ruins of huge cities filled with towering buildings and crumbling remains, enter complexes, and scavenge weapons and health kits in a struggle to survive. You’ve got complete freedom to explore buildings, jump from rooftop to rooftop, and climb across terrain.
Another interesting feature of the Xngine is the ability to do more than just run around on foot. During key missions, you’ll drive a jeep through craggy mountain passes and even fly a modified Hunter-Killer high above the battlefield. But While the SP missions are well worth a look on their own, the real attraction is the multiplayer mode.
There players are allowed to hop in and out of HKs and jeeps with complete freedom. The setup program for the multi-player games lets you choose from more than a dozen different characters — including Terminators — to suit your own personal tastes. And there are so many areas to snipe at your opponent from that you’ll be creeping through back alleys, avoiding the main roads. But litter the map with vehicles and that dynamic changes incredibly. In short, SkyNET is a great value, whether you’re interested in finding a new twist on multi-player action or just looking for an old school shooter with more depth that what you’re used to.
