To celebrate about 10 Years of SNES drunk I went through all his 1015 videos way back to 2013 and made a statistic about how many videos of this legedary UA-camr start with what kind of Intro, here is the complete list: Video count starting with following intros: SNES drunk: 851 Segadrunk: 69 Steamdrunk: 42 Without any kind of Intro: 41 Switchdrunk: 2 Previously on SNES drunk IS drunk: 2 SNES drunk IS drunk: 1 Previously on SNES drunk plays StarFox: 1 Previously on SNES drunk plays Final Fight: 1 3 Hours of the SNES drunk Intro: 1 A four minute and 30 second long SNES drunk Intro: 1 Videos completely about Clyde T. Dog (No Intro as well): 3 Also, the first Video that introduced a certain Intro: SNES drunk: "Top Gear Series quick review - SNES drunk" Segadrunk: "Is X-Men [Genesis] Worth Playing Today? - SNESdrunk" Steamdrunk: "Shovel Knight review - Steamdrunk" Without any Kind of Intro: "Super Nintendo SNES Music Quiz on Sporcle" Switchdrunk: "Sea of Stars: Why the Hype? - Switchdrunk" Previously on SNES drunk IS drunk: "SNESdrunk Plays SNES Drunk III: Beyond Wrestlingdome" SNES drunk IS drunk: "SNESdrunk Plays SNES Drunk II: The Hockeying" Previously on SNES drunk plays StarFox: "SNESdrunk Plays Star Fox: Balls 3D - PART 10" Previously on SNES drunk plays Final Fight: "SNESdrunk Plays Final Fight: I Didn't Choke! - FINALE" 3 Hours of the SNES drunk Intro: "3 Hours of the SNESdrunk Intro" A four minute and 30 second long SNES drunk Intro: "Is Race Drivin' [SNES] Worth Playing Today? - SNESdrunk" Videos completely about Clyde T. Dog: "On Depression, Anxiety, and Clyde T. Dog" And for closure, some facts you might find interesting about the different categories: - It are mostly the oldest videos and all music compilations that are videos without any kind of intro. - Some Game Boy, NES, PlayStation 1 (like "Chrono Cross" and "Final Fantasy VII"), Arcade, N64, TurboGrafX 16 and even some Steam games before the Steam Drunk intro was created also run under the "SNES drunk" Intro. - SNES drunk once "cheated" and published "Age of Mythology", a 2002 PC game under the SNES drunk intro, so far this has been his only full PC game review that is not a Steam game. I guess he really loves that game. - There is a "10 Hours of Reviews" video that has a lot of video game reviews where each one also has its own intro, I debated if I shall add them all to the list as well, but ultimately decided against it since it's all only repetition of already published reviews and as such didn't count them in the list, thus there is only 1015 videos counted out of his recently 1016 videos. TL:DR = Happy 10th anniversary, SNES drunk! I hope there will be 10 more years and many many more after that as well!
Was particularly hilarious how the biker pops a gratuitous wheelie (on a Harley no less) just to continue covering Arnold's junk as you walk up the steps.
No worries as you would've only "immobilise(d)" your adversaries with "non fatal wounds"..........at point blank range..........with a pump action shotgun to the chest. Yeah. Right.
I know this game is bad but.... i enjoyed playing it... My dad got it for me from a pawn shop and i was hyped to play it and enjoyed it as a kid and despite its difficulty would always get to the final boss (didnt beat until i was an adult). I didnt have many games as a kid and while it was no super mario, i just enjoyed it for what it was. It reminds me of a simpler time.
Glad to see there are others who consider this one a guilty pleasure. Not a great game in any stretch but does provide some sense of satisfaction once you know what youre doing. Timing out explosions to stop the T-1000 feels rewarding. There's also a layer of strategy for the first few levels where you can avoid most confrontation after the bar level and before rescuing Sarah. Playing this on an emulator 20 years ago with Game Genie codes let you explore a bit more and it was interesting to see how the cops + T-1000 would show up at Johns house if you didnt destroy the alarm system before entering. You can also literally walk through the mall level without killing anyone if you know how to avoid triggering the T-1000. Most annoying bits: the future object in the attic in Johns house (i never thought to shoot at it) and the driving level to the weapons stash (map can be confusing). Once you get the mini gun, the rest isnt that complicated.
Yeah, this game does in fact have a very interesting philosophy when it comes to the design, it's just not implemented that great, but that's because SNES games were hard to develop for compared to anything nowadays. Other games made by bitz had the same sort of design, Spider-Man 2 on Gameboy for example. It just had this open world/like feel to it, where you had to figure out some esoteric way to progress the levels. The Immersion in this T2 game is great, and feels more contemporary compared to something like Contra or Turrican. Realistically, a robot probably does jump the way he does in this game. The chaotic moments are insane, destructible environments weren't even that common at the time. This game lived rent free in my head since 2005 when I was 10 and got it from a used game store. It's a very interesting game, it'd be cool to see an equivalent, but better. If this game actually had continues or a password system it wouldn't get as much flack as it does.
There are some cheats I added for this (google for them) including the auto defend mode that I was told to take out..and the driving bit was never properly finished.

@@tiozorro7853 you are correct, I was mistaken there. with the opening explosion, set in the future and even ending in a factory, it feels more like T2, so I misremembered!
You are as much a long-standing gem on this platform as the best of the games you review on the ol' SNES. Congratulations on the Dunkey shoutout, I hope you see even more well-deserved views come your way. Glad to be a part of your audience. Stay well in the face of the world, my friend 🇵🇸
A friend of mine got the NES version of T2 for his birthday. If anything, that one may be even worse, if such a thing is possible. The second level takes place in the LA river culverts, with you as the T800 riding a motorcycle and being chased by the T1000 in a semi truck, which mowes you down every time without fail, making the whole thing practically impossible. What a terrible present.
Oh, you can escape the semi, you just have to memorize every single incoming threat to dodge them and spend ALL your free seconds shooting the semi behind you. Don't forget to shoot certain incoming walls of glass, before you die instantly driving into them. What I could never finish was the vast multiroom segment setting up explosives everywhere, where you literally only have enough time if you KNOW where to drop them all beforehand.
I really love the NES version, the music for me is top 10 of the entire NES library. I don't think is that unfair. 5 Levels and once you know how to survive the second level, the rest of the game is kind of straight forward. I was never able to go to the elevator before the bombs exploded though but having extra lives makes you continue right before the explosion with plenty of time to survive.
I speedrun the NES T2 now, it is actually a pretty solid game, once you get the hang of stage 2. Was not a fan as a kid, but it grew on me as an adult. @@DarkKodKod
THIS. Battletoads gets a lot of flack for nearly-impossible racing levels but the fact T2 on NES pulls it at the START of stage 2 always infuriated me.
I played this on an emulator as a kid, & I liked it. I also used the game genie cheat codes like invincibility, so using stuff like this helped. I just enjoyed actually doing the things we don't see the Terminator 2 in the movie (getting Connor's address, or visiting the foster parents home). I thought it was cool. I also thought it was cool having John & Sarah with you. Obviously, I cannot give a fair opinion in enjoying this game because I used cheats, but I do think there is potential in a game like this where you do travel around & complete objectives like what I just mentioned.
Oh man, I got this for the c64 back in the day. My mom's friend took me to the store, when games were usually £1-2. I wanted this and it was like triple that. She relented and I played it... and it stank. No refunds. And I STILL feel guilty about it.
This game used to freak me out as a kid. I genuinely thought it was cool: like it felt so adult compared to the other games I had like super mario world
I contend that T2 is the best action movie ever made. The only ones that come close are Die Hard, True Lies, and Heat. Heat is honestly neck and neck but you can make the case either way
Weeeeell is it though? I mean, cool scene and all.. but its "Cut to Arnold" "Cut to cars getting shot" "cut back to Arnold" repeat. 😂 I'd argue theres at least 3 other action bits that are more impressive in the film. And "Ever made" means it's better than the Hospital shootout in HARD BOILED, Jackie Chans mall fight in POLICE STORY, the one take hall fight in OLDBOY, the end chase in THE ROAD WARRIOR, and the first chase of FURY ROAD... all of which kick the shit outta Arnie sitting in a window with a minigun not killing anyone.
I was reading that book Console Wars a while back and one of the most disheartening things going on in the 16-bit generation was that these licensed games were considered a big deal to the big shots running everything. Every new chapter of the book practically is about the next marketing campaign, which heavily revolves around "can't miss" titles based on blockbuster movies, and of course many of them were made by LJN and Acclaim.
I have a friend that absolutely loves this game (He plays on Genesis/Megadrive). He just loves how it follows the movie and somehow likes the gameplay as well.
Yo dude, you got shouted out(kinda, your video was shown) in the new Videogamedunkey episode! 'Hidden Gems : Dinobreak and Robocop' at 9:00 for your video of Izzy's Quest.
Arnold sprites are a bit impressive because he has some alternative sprites, you can see how he stands on the stairs and how he holds the gun while he's facing left and right because you can see some 2D shooting games that the characters hold their guns with their right hand but when they face left, the game just flips the sprite and that's all, but in T2 SNES and Genesis/MegaDrive, Arnold sprites doesn't get mirrored when turning directions because the developers tried to improve the sprites
I have played this game many times back in the day on the Genesis, and I have one major observation. The Terminator sprite looks exactly like Hank Hill, right? I could definitely see a King of the Hill game where Dale stalks you around town while you try and find Peggy and Bobby. The levels kind of work in a way it could be pulled off
I remember playing this game as a kid (rented, not bought) and I absolutely remember the driving stages sucking very badly. I also remember thinking at the time that the music from said driving stages was really really awesome...
I asked my mom if I could buy this from Ebay when I was 12, thinking it would be great for a price like $8. Man, I wish I could have rented this once so i wouldn't have had it in my collection. Great review, I couldn't make it past the 3rd level, so kudos to you for getting that far and great review, as always.
the NES version was the most expensive game for this system back then next to turtles and also one of the worst imo (just like turtles). i really don`t know why they messed up almost all terminator games that much.. it is one of the most popular movie series ever but these games just make it look ridiculous imo. cheers 👾👾
When I was ten, my father was on a trip to the USA and he thought he would do me a favor by buying me a snes game. Of all the games available, he bought this. But I still love him. Btw. A Shan o Mac reference in a video about the Terminator was not on my bingo list.
That was exactly what happened when I tried it. Even though it was laughably bad, I gave up at the driving portion after the first level because it was so terrible that I couldn't figure it out.
This was the first game I ever owned. I bought a different game, (Robocop vs Terminator), at the used game store but this was in the box instead. So i was reading the other games manual instead and was very confused why nothing was adding up. I eventually realized the manual was for a different game entirely and grew up thinking this game felt bad just because didn't have the instructions on how to play it properly.
I tried to play this game a few times back in the day. I could get to the driving section after the bar level but couldn't get anywhere else and kept dying because I kept running int other cars.
Me and my neighbourhood buddies were so into this game after seeing one of the most epic movies ever as eleven year old boys. The movie was incredible at the time (still kind of is...) and the game was too. It followed the movie and you visited the locations in it. The on-screen display with the red font. We were ecstatic. Yes, we looked at it through massive rose-coloured glasses. Nevertheless this was the go to game for us for a while.
My dad had the high score on a T2 cabinet for years. He still had the high score when they finally removed the cabinet. Every time we went to that arcade he checked and his score was always there. It was a near perfect game. I swear to you kids gathered to watch. One kid just stared with his mouth open. It was in a casino arcade in Vegas so it did get some decent traffic but nobody ever beat him. My dad usually let us stop at the arcades and play a few games before dinner if we were eating at a casino. A lot of the good restaurants in town are in casinos so we ate there a lot. He doesn't play games at all other than Tetris like 30 years ago but for some reason he did play T2 occasionally and he's very good at it. I always hated the gun setup but he did fine. I've gotten him to play a few other light gun games and he's pretty good but he always says he doesn't like it as much as T2
Thank you for reviewing this game! I want to say I hate it, but it's more like, I'm disappointed. One of my all-time favorite movies, made into a game on my all-time favorite console. The driving is already bad enough, but the game gives you NO indication where to go each level! The worst is that you have no way to defend yourself while driving. And about halfway through, the vehicles really start ganging up on you. You can crash into them and, maybe, blow them up, but it drains your health QUICK! I do like how they incorporated the T-800's Auxiliary Power from the movie. When you die, you come back at 50% health. But while driving, when you hit 0% health, you're dead. And finally, yes, it does follow the events of the movie close. But, when you get to Enrique's Farm to gather guns and ammo, guess who's there that you have to fight?! The T-1000! I am not kidding! You fight the T-1000 at Enrique's Farm!
I played it for one week or so back then and my eye got used of it. Then, i put DKC cartridge on, i forgot how beautiful it was, i saw 60fps smooth animation of big prerendered sprites and the background of winky's walkway with photorealistic bridges, i was shocked.
I remember renting this as a kid and didn't even get past the first driving stage, it sucked so much. Coincidently I watched T2 a couple of nights ago. It's still balls to the wall awesome now as it was when I was a kid.
I had this game. I only thing I liked was that everything non-explosive would blow up. I don't think I ever got past the hospital and that was only by luck I got there because dying on the driving sections was almost guaranteed. What a bag of poo!
T2 SNES might've ruined my childhoods, but this review was the polar opposite. Your way with words is hilarious, and I love never knowing when the wrestling references are gonna hit. I'm sick as hell today and just woke up. gotta get up and out soon (ugh) but this vid helped start me in the right direction. Thanks!
Had this on the Mega Drive (or Genesis USA). I actually liked it despite having already played the Arcade Game version for home console too. SNES shouldn't complain as unlike the Nintendo during the driving sections we didn't have a strafe shoulder button for dodging traffic. Unless there was a feature like hold down button a b or c or something?
For me this is a guilty pleasure game, I know it's bad but I just enjoy that bad. Just felt so satisfying going back and making it farther and farther into the game despite the clunky controls.
Believe it or not, Bubsy was kind of a classic for elementary school me😂. My cousin's and I had fun with all the silly deaths. Had fun with Bubsy 2 also.
I think this one all got us, I must have rented it back in the day because I remember is the T1000 emerging from the floor. Says a lot that I remember almost nothing about something T2 related
the game is terrible, to be sure (i didn't experience it at the time, but when i found the rom online some years ago and gave it a try, i actually wondered if it really _was_ a real terminator 2 tie-in game, or a joke rom that someone had jokingly built, as a joke). i wouldn't say it's entirely without merit, though. almost everything about the game is bad, _but,_ that intro sequence to the first level with arnold/hank hill walking along in the nude with an assortment of objects moving across the frame to preserve his modesty, is pretty funny and well done.

- Some Game Boy, NES, PlayStation 1 (like "Chrono Cross" and "Final Fantasy VII"), Arcade, N64, TurboGrafX 16 and even some Steam games before the Steam Drunk intro was created also run under the "SNES drunk" Intro.
- SNES drunk once "cheated" and published "Age of Mythology", a 2002 PC game under the SNES drunk intro, so far this has been his only full PC game review that is not a Steam game. I guess he really loves that game.
- There is a "10 Hours of Reviews" video that has a lot of video game reviews where each one also has its own intro, I debated if I shall add them all to the list as well, but ultimately decided against it since it's all only repetition of already published reviews and as such didn't count them in the list, thus there is only 1015 videos counted out of his recently 1016 videos.

Get a life
The amount of free time is amazing…
Holy shit dude lol. Thanks!! That's awesome. And yes I freaking love Age of Mythology, I still play it all the time
@@SNESdrunk You're very welcome ☺
I will say this, them doing the foreground censor bar gag in a SNES game is kind of hilarious. Maybe even the first of its kind.
I've only seen it 1 other time, in MGS 2 with Raiden.
Leisure Suit Larry had a black censor bar bouncing while having sex. Not the same gag but still funny.
TV tropes has more in the "scenery censor" segment (under video games).
Was particularly hilarious how the biker pops a gratuitous wheelie (on a Harley no less) just to continue covering Arnold's junk as you walk up the steps.
If only the developers spent as much time making the game good as they did hiding Ahnuld's wiener.
I can't unsee Hank Hill Terminator now, and I love it.
"I'll be back, Bobby."
Liquid propane...
First thing I thought of when footage started rolling. 🤣
Sarah, your boy ain’t right!
We must make a mod with Bobby as the T1000.
"That's my target! I don't know you!"
Your hank hill impression was amazing. Thanks for always making quality content SNES!
That was a great Hank Hill impression 😂 and that vertical jump looked like he was doing River Dance 😂
The impression is the best part of the game. What? What do you mean it's not in the game!?
I really wanted this game but my parents wouldn't buy it for me as they thought it would be too violent. A very lucky escape.
or your parents are stupid. as a kid i was aloud to play Mortal Kombat and GTA
Did she get you Bubsy instead?
Your parents must be tRump supporters
I had it on Snes lol
No worries as you would've only "immobilise(d)" your adversaries with "non fatal wounds"..........at point blank range..........with a pump action shotgun to the chest. Yeah. Right.
That Hank Hill bit was hilarious
The creative censoring of naked Arnie is kinda funny. Putting him on naked in the beginning shows some creativity.
It’s very clever !
Shane McMahon Arnold is good stuff 😂
I loved the Terminator 2 NES game, especially after playing thr SNES version
Back in the day reviewers compared Last Action Hero Arnold to Al Bundy. Yeah, I can kind of see it. World's schlubbiest action hero.
I know this game is bad but.... i enjoyed playing it...
My dad got it for me from a pawn shop and i was hyped to play it and enjoyed it as a kid and despite its difficulty would always get to the final boss (didnt beat until i was an adult).
I didnt have many games as a kid and while it was no super mario, i just enjoyed it for what it was. It reminds me of a simpler time.
I completely understand what you are getting at. That game for me is Strider on the NES.
I did beat it as a kid and luv it

And "Ever made" means it's better than the Hospital shootout in HARD BOILED, Jackie Chans mall fight in POLICE STORY, the one take hall fight in OLDBOY, the end chase in THE ROAD WARRIOR, and the first chase of FURY ROAD... all of which kick the shit outta Arnie sitting in a window with a minigun not killing anyone.
I was reading that book Console Wars a while back and one of the most disheartening things going on in the 16-bit generation was that these licensed games were considered a big deal to the big shots running everything. Every new chapter of the book practically is about the next marketing campaign, which heavily revolves around "can't miss" titles based on blockbuster movies, and of course many of them were made by LJN and Acclaim.
I have a friend that absolutely loves this game (He plays on Genesis/Megadrive). He just loves how it follows the movie and somehow likes the gameplay as well.
Congrats on the shout-out on videogamedunkey!
They did a great job with RobCop....now they need to make terminator 2 judgment day game in 2023
I love RobCop! He's like half Rob and half cop!
I love that you were mentioned in the Videogamedunkey video yesterday lol.
I don't have any other social media so I just want to let you know here that it was really cool to see your channel cameo in Dunkey's latest video.
Love how you say great rest of your day. I say that to people all the time now. Love your content and delivery.
That Hank Hill impression is really top notch.
Yo dude, you got shouted out(kinda, your video was shown) in the new Videogamedunkey episode! 'Hidden Gems : Dinobreak and Robocop' at 9:00 for your video of Izzy's Quest.
"A game you want to avoid any way you can"
Avoid it like it's the T-1000.
You should have used Leisure Suit Larry music with the T800 walks naked
The NES version is surprisingly superior to this one. Also, the ost is a creepy banger and I love it
Came here to say the same exact thing. Idk how that happened 😂
This game is enough of a reason why T2: The Arcade Game is the superior Terminator 2 game.
Arnold sprites are a bit impressive because he has some alternative sprites, you can see how he stands on the stairs and how he holds the gun while he's facing left and right because you can see some 2D shooting games that the characters hold their guns with their right hand but when they face left, the game just flips the sprite and that's all, but in T2 SNES and Genesis/MegaDrive, Arnold sprites doesn't get mirrored when turning directions because the developers tried to improve the sprites
You got 2 shoutouts from video game Dunkey!
The "come with me if you want to live" in the Hank Hill voice 😂😂😂😂
never saw an 8bit or 16bit movie game that had a good driving sequence
For some reason this brought back some repressed memory of failing to land the jet plane on the carrier in the Top Gun NES game.
Great Hank Hill impression! :D
My sentiments on this game are identical. Especially the "driving" levels.
I have played this game many times back in the day on the Genesis, and I have one major observation.
The Terminator sprite looks exactly like Hank Hill, right? I could definitely see a King of the Hill game where Dale stalks you around town while you try and find Peggy and Bobby. The levels kind of work in a way it could be pulled off
I remember playing this game as a kid (rented, not bought) and I absolutely remember the driving stages sucking very badly. I also remember thinking at the time that the music from said driving stages was really really awesome...
I've always seen Arnold as Hank Hill in this. Thanks for bringing up that resemblance.
I remember playing this over and over, never getting too far. Dying in the driving sequences often. Game stunk.
You only seem to be able to drive at 90 degree angles! What's up with that? Is there just no physics in the Terminator universe?
I asked my mom if I could buy this from Ebay when I was 12, thinking it would be great for a price like $8. Man, I wish I could have rented this once so i wouldn't have had it in my collection. Great review, I couldn't make it past the 3rd level, so kudos to you for getting that far and great review, as always.
the NES version was the most expensive game for this system back then next to turtles and also one of the worst imo (just like turtles). i really don`t know why they messed up almost all terminator games that much.. it is one of the most popular movie series ever but these games just make it look ridiculous imo. cheers 👾👾
Loved this, funnier than the AVGN episode, i don't wish torture on you but please play more baaaad games ;)
But this vid doesn't have "Like, holy lord, that is some f@$%, right there! Look at him go! WOO! WOO! WOO!"
That is what makes it enjoyable.@@baalfgames5318
When I was ten, my father was on a trip to the USA and he thought he would do me a favor by buying me a snes game. Of all the games available, he bought this.
But I still love him.
Btw. A Shan o Mac reference in a video about the Terminator was not on my bingo list.
That was exactly what happened when I tried it. Even though it was laughably bad, I gave up at the driving portion after the first level because it was so terrible that I couldn't figure it out.
This was the first game I ever owned. I bought a different game, (Robocop vs Terminator), at the used game store but this was in the box instead. So i was reading the other games manual instead and was very confused why nothing was adding up.
I eventually realized the manual was for a different game entirely and grew up thinking this game felt bad just because didn't have the instructions on how to play it properly.
Arnie looks like Shane-o-Mac...or is it Mike Stoklasa?
You were in Dunky's video!
It's Baaaaaaaayyyyddddd~!
No two ways about it, I even think SNES drunk's a bit lenient by comparing the looks and movement to Hank Hill.
I tried to play this game a few times back in the day. I could get to the driving section after the bar level but couldn't get anywhere else and kept dying because I kept running int other cars.
Starting the day with a SNES drunk video is a good way to have a great rest of your day. Unfortunately seems drunk isn't doing so great with this game
Me and my neighbourhood buddies were so into this game after seeing one of the most epic movies ever as eleven year old boys. The movie was incredible at the time (still kind of is...) and the game was too. It followed the movie and you visited the locations in it. The on-screen display with the red font. We were ecstatic. Yes, we looked at it through massive rose-coloured glasses. Nevertheless this was the go to game for us for a while.
Thank you for noticing the Hank Hill resemblance! I'm so glad I'm not the only person to see it!
My dad had the high score on a T2 cabinet for years. He still had the high score when they finally removed the cabinet. Every time we went to that arcade he checked and his score was always there. It was a near perfect game. I swear to you kids gathered to watch. One kid just stared with his mouth open. It was in a casino arcade in Vegas so it did get some decent traffic but nobody ever beat him. My dad usually let us stop at the arcades and play a few games before dinner if we were eating at a casino. A lot of the good restaurants in town are in casinos so we ate there a lot. He doesn't play games at all other than Tetris like 30 years ago but for some reason he did play T2 occasionally and he's very good at it. I always hated the gun setup but he did fine. I've gotten him to play a few other light gun games and he's pretty good but he always says he doesn't like it as much as T2
Thank you for reviewing this game! I want to say I hate it, but it's more like, I'm disappointed. One of my all-time favorite movies, made into a game on my all-time favorite console. The driving is already bad enough, but the game gives you NO indication where to go each level! The worst is that you have no way to defend yourself while driving. And about halfway through, the vehicles really start ganging up on you. You can crash into them and, maybe, blow them up, but it drains your health QUICK! I do like how they incorporated the T-800's Auxiliary Power from the movie. When you die, you come back at 50% health. But while driving, when you hit 0% health, you're dead. And finally, yes, it does follow the events of the movie close. But, when you get to Enrique's Farm to gather guns and ammo, guess who's there that you have to fight?! The T-1000! I am not kidding! You fight the T-1000 at Enrique's Farm!
The Hank Hill meets Terminator impression was f*cking hilarious.
I had a chuckle at the Shane O'Mac reference with "Macsons" in the background
You sounded so happy talking about Terminator 2 the movie.
You should do a Movie Drunk video and talk about your favorite movies 😎
A Shane McMahon mention and hank hill impersonation.....you've cemented yourself as my fav UA-camr for life 😂😂
great Hank Hill impression! love all your vids
Terminator Hank Hill brings pro pain and pro pain acessories!
That was a pretty fantastic Hank Hill impression
I played it for one week or so back then and my eye got used of it. Then, i put DKC cartridge on, i forgot how beautiful it was, i saw 60fps smooth animation of big prerendered sprites and the background of winky's walkway with photorealistic bridges, i was shocked.
I remember renting this as a kid and didn't even get past the first driving stage, it sucked so much.
Coincidently I watched T2 a couple of nights ago. It's still balls to the wall awesome now as it was when I was a kid.
😂😂😂😂 thumbs up for shane o mac reference =D
I had this game. I only thing I liked was that everything non-explosive would blow up. I don't think I ever got past the hospital and that was only by luck I got there because dying on the driving sections was almost guaranteed. What a bag of poo!
lmfao that Hank Hill impersonation was good.
We need that SNESDrunk x @videogamedunkey collab.
The Hank Schwarzeneger impression was glorious 😆
Thank you for saving me from this game. Can you do a review of the Star Trek games?
I owned this as a teen. Man, those road sections were a nightmare. I managed to beat it after a few months of rage
0:04 I mean... you don't have to...
OMG that Hank Hill Terminator bit 🤣
T2 SNES might've ruined my childhoods, but this review was the polar opposite. Your way with words is hilarious, and I love never knowing when the wrestling references are gonna hit. I'm sick as hell today and just woke up. gotta get up and out soon (ugh) but this vid helped start me in the right direction. Thanks!
Your Shane McMahon comparison is golden!!! 🤣
It is indeed funny to see the answer in the video image already: Worth playing? -> ljn in the game cover.
Had this on the Mega Drive (or Genesis USA). I actually liked it despite having already played the Arcade Game version for home console too. SNES shouldn't complain as unlike the Nintendo during the driving sections we didn't have a strafe shoulder button for dodging traffic. Unless there was a feature like hold down button a b or c or something?
Thank you for your service and sacrifice on this one.
I laughed out loud at the Arnold likenesses being compared to Shane McMahon and Hank Hill, well done sir 👏
For me this is a guilty pleasure game, I know it's bad but I just enjoy that bad. Just felt so satisfying going back and making it farther and farther into the game despite the clunky controls.
Same but Genesis version. Its funny what you'll forgive as a kid.
It was worth it for the game to be made in 1993, so that 30 years later in 2023 we could hear your T-800 as Hank Hill impression.
I remember renting this along with Robocop Vs Terminator. This made the SNES version of the latter that much better.
Dude, spot on Hank Hill impression!
Hank Hill as Terminator would be amazing. "I am a T-1000, and I sell propane bwaahhhh!"
A T2 modern game with a Nemesis system. Mixing action and pursuit would be awesome.
Believe it or not, Bubsy was kind of a classic for elementary school me😂. My cousin's and I had fun with all the silly deaths. Had fun with Bubsy 2 also.
I think this one all got us, I must have rented it back in the day because I remember is the T1000 emerging from the floor.
Says a lot that I remember almost nothing about something T2 related
the game is terrible, to be sure (i didn't experience it at the time, but when i found the rom online some years ago and gave it a try, i actually wondered if it really _was_ a real terminator 2 tie-in game, or a joke rom that someone had jokingly built, as a joke).
i wouldn't say it's entirely without merit, though. almost everything about the game is bad, _but,_ that intro sequence to the first level with arnold/hank hill walking along in the nude with an assortment of objects moving across the frame to preserve his modesty, is pretty funny and well done.
“Boy, I tell you what…” Okay, that killed me. 🤣
