The Terminator: SkyNet (1996)
Genres:Shooter
Themes:Action, Science fiction
Game modes:Single player, Multiplayer
Story:SkyNET is Bethesda's last game based on the Terminator franchise. Originally developed as an expansion pack to Terminator: Future Shock, SkyNET eventually became its own standalone product. Its major features are an updated version of the Xngine allowing for play in the sharper 640x480 resolution (and the ability to update Future Shock to the same), a new single-player campaign, and a new multiplayer deathmatch component.
In the single-player game, you must stop the machines from launching a recovered nuclear weapon. The story takes place over seven missions broken into various sections and "levels," with night progressing into daylight as the game goes on. The locations are also more varied and interactive than those featured in the first game, with levels like the basement of the Cyberdyne building, and a sinking nuclear submarine. Driving and flying levels return from Future Shock, as do the mission briefings, which are now handled entirely in FMV. The game seems to act as a prequel to Future Shock, with the most advanced technology and player weapons from that game not appearing in the course of the single-player missions in SkyNET.
The multiplayer game allows for eight players over a LAN and two over IPX. The levels are contained recreations of sections or ideas in the single-player game, like a block of cityscape, a shattered freeway, or an open valley, and many can be played at either dawn or dusk. Vehicles are available in most levels, and unlike in single-player, can be entered and exited freely. You also have the option to play as a Terminator, with reduced movement speed, a little more toughness, and the classic red-tinted vision with information overlays.Show more

I remember first seeing this in "Secret Service" and just thinking that the title screen (terminator in flames) and the game seem super cool (I was/still am a big Terminator 2 movie fan). Then I think I got my hands on a demo from "Gambler" magazine (could be wrong here). I played it after Quake so the graphics didn't impress that much, but the the game had unique atmosphere that kept me coming back - dark, grey, hopeless post-apocalyptic world with destroyed buildings, no humans around, only killing machines. I showed it to my friend and he also got hooked. He managed to get a pirate version, unfortunately without sound and cut scenes (at least I think there were cut scenes;) and we played a lot at his place. I remember the game being somewhat difficult. Anyways, would love to finally hear the sound and see the cutscenes ;)
This game is better than most people realize, and way ahead of it's time in a lot of ways. The live action video stuff is cringe, but the single-player levels are great, and the multiplayer can be a lot of fun too. The fact that it's basically a package deal with Future Shock (SkyNET provided a high-resolution upgrade to the previous game) is just more value.
This one bring memories. I even remember playing on LAN. The biggest surprise was when i tried playing as a Terminator. And i am a big fan of the series but Terminator and Terminator 2 are my favourite.
I looked for it everywhere, even on abandonware sites but with no luck. Id love to play it once again.
