Killjoy's Exploits: The Terminator [NES] (Full Run)

KEP-1: This early-1990s NES run-&-gun platformer was one of a series of games made for various consoles of both 8-bit & 16-bit generations based on the classic 1984 science fiction action horror movie of the same name.

As is the case with the movie it is based on, "The Terminator" consists of a battle-hardened soldier from the Future War of the 2020s named Kyle Reese [the player character] who has to battle the mechanical A.I. despot named Skynet & head back through time into the past to protect the mother of his commander from an indestructible cyborg known as The Terminator who has the ability to blend in with humans undetected & has a seriously bad attitude with the compulsion to kill but cannot otherwise be killed by conventional 20th Century weaponry.

In this game, which I completed over four days in September 2022 [the playthrough is edited together from all the successful level runs] using save states to keep my progress & also using a cheat code that is not widely known - on the second controller [if you have an actual NES console] or by binding a second controller's input if you're using an emulator, press the following: B, B, Up, Left, A. This will give you infinite continues, allowing you a fighting chance to beat the game. Surely a better option than to attach a wrench to the controller's B button to lock the player in a firing position & waiting half a day to collect enough points to obtain all six lives...

This particular game has attained a very bad reputation as the very worst Terminator game ever made & I personally agree with that - it is indeed the worst one I have come across.

Hope you enjoy the playthough & Remember My Advice:
