I'm dead serious. That game was the worst thing I ever played in my life, and I got so mad that I turned off the GB, took out the game, and tossed it like a skipping stone into its watery grave. My life has been so much happier ever since.
Blue Bros No. There is a moral line I simply will not cross, and knowing someone else's life would be ruined by this horrible game would be a sin. It would be blood money if I made a cent from this wretched abomination.
Fun fact: Sunsoft was originally going to make T2 NES but LJN got the licence partway through development, Sunsoft then turned their existing game into a generic scifi-platformer in the vein of mega man or Metroid. It's also better than LJN's T2 game.
True story, I never got past the motorcycle level, had to return the game to blockbuster before I figured it out, and immediately after I thought "wait, can you shoot backwards?". All these years later, it's really nice to get the confirmation that yes, you can
Bro, I love you so much. You are the best reviewer on the planet, all the pain and suffering that I went through as a child playing these games, figuring it out without the use of the Internet or any game magazine. Having to rent the game multiple times just to get past one level and then get stuck at another one priceless
When AVGN, one of the greatest and most reliable Internet reviewers of all time, tells you to never play a shitty game, you should probably listen to him.
I had that last one, but for the Sega. Exact same game, but I was so hellbent on finishing it. I got to the mall stage, got to John Conners house, got to the hospital, but after many years, I never ever beat it. That driving stage is the most frustrating thing I've ever experienced within a game, and I actually got alright at it after a while, but still couldn't pass it in the later levels. It was ridiculous.
I played that SNES T2 game so much as a kid. It's been about 30 years since I played it last and I still remember what dogshit the driving controls were.
This game was awesome! FInished it without any help. I kept dying at the motorcycle stage and was like man this game sucks. Didn't play it for a year or so, then one day revisited and completed it. Great achievement :P .
The head-on collision with the truck had me in tears. Holy shit, trying to control the motorcycle looks like a hilariously frustrating adventure of its own.
I used to have he SNES port, spent so many miserable days trying to beat it, and I still remember the horrors of the driving stages; every time I finished one it felt like a major achievement
6:40 I still had ammo when I reached to that part. The game actually takes away your weapons because you have to jump at the T-1000 to make him fall into the lava 11:23 the Sega Genesis/Mega Drive version driving controls is a bit easier than the SNES one. Hostile drivers won't spawn if you match the speed of the regular vehicles.
5:19 Thing-a-ma-fucker. Sounds like my aunts vibrator that I discovered when I was 8. I came downstairs holding it turned on with my family in the living room. My grandma took it out of my hand and didn't know how to turn it off. I didn't know what it was at the time lol. We all laugh about it now.
Had the T2 on Game Boy (not the arcade one), and I loved it as a kid. Yeah it was a bit hard to finish it with one life, but I enjoyed it. And the opening theme was pretty good as well. For me one of the few decent games of LJN
"They took somebody as badass as the Terminator and made him into a mockery." Arnold's "Carl" character in Dark Fate in a nutshell Also applies to the franchise post-T2
Me and my dad liked what they did with Carl. It was cool to see that a terminator can have a normal life and raise a family. Also there’s a scene where a dog is standing beside Carl and not barking aggressively. My dad loved it when he saw that.
The driving segment in T2 SNES is bar none the funniest gameplay footage I have ever seen. I'm seeing it as if it's chopper footage of a real life police chase.
Hi.. great video James!just wanna share. when i was a kid i finished the T2 version on the Gameboy and it was hard.i actually replayed the game several times and found it enjoyable.after watching your vid can definitely say that it was a good thing i only played thr Gameboy ver.. Kudos man!
That T2 SNES game always cracks me up, with The Terminator jumping around like an idiot while that crazy music plays and shit randomly explodes in the background.
Terminator 2 is my favorite movie, and I thought that the NES version of T2 looked pretty good considering it's a movie tie-in video game published by LJN. Heck, I think I'm gonna add that to my retro game collection someday.
"Everything in this bar blows up for no apparent reason" It reminds me of AVGN's room, like seriously he just shoots his tv screen and his entire room is blowing up
and what's interesting is that it was developed by Beam Software who developed the Punisher games on the NES and Game Boy. What's even crazy is that some of the unused tracks in the Game Boy port of T2: The Arcade Game are actually taken from NARC.
I've spent countless hours of my childhood trying to figure out the SNES T2 driving stage as mentioned at 11:42 It truly is the worst driving controls I've ever played. I never got past that second stage. SO BAD!
true. LJN's misfortune was pretty much that they were put in a ''Don't shoot the messenger'' position, but as the old adage goes, everyone has to start somewhere, which is the case for companies like Westone (who developed Jaws), and Atlus (who developed Karate Kid, Friday the 13th, and NFL Football)
I hated T2 for Gameboy so much that I threw it in the Tennessee River when I was on vacation.
lol
+Snuggle Cuddles i couldn't stop laugh

I wonder if any of the original programmers from LJN ever saw the AVGN videos.. Gotta be.
The company didn't develop any games, only published stuff made by Rareware, Atlus etc...
+SeGa32xXx1 LJN still had programmers. Just for clarification, we're you even alive before 1995? Or did you get that fact from a Wikipedia article?
How many of you had the chance to watch Michael Jordan play live?

What game is it?
I don't remember the title. it was featured in nintendo power back in....I think 2011. That was the first I heard about it.
I believe so
Well pretty sure Sunsoft would have fucked it up just as bad lol
journey to silius is actually a pretty good game hard but fun at least I thought it was hard HVGN actually reviewed it thats why i bought it
"They just scream. Big improvement."
Might be the best out of context quote ever.

He looks kind of like Hank Hill in the SNES one.

the gold terminator is called the Gangstanator

It's a Pimp'o'nator ....
I'm with Michael Sykes .
It looks more like Pimp'o'nator to me.
That's ridiculously funny.
No. The gold ones were made by Saddam Hoessein. Same production line as the golden AK47

oh and hank hill at the end
"Never play this game"
Okay.
**Fives Minutes Later**
GOD DAMMIT! THIS GAME IS HORRIBLE! WHY DID I DOWNLOAD THIS FUCKING ROM?!
When AVGN, one of the greatest and most reliable Internet reviewers of all time, tells you to never play a shitty game, you should probably listen to him.
Why isn't LJN the main villian in the avgn games?
It is, in AVGN game 1, there is a level called Laughing Joking Numbnuts, IIRC.
They went Out Of Business back in the 1995
NintendoFanboy 2001 but then they were bought out by acclaim to continue to make games like spirit of speed

Glad I wasn't the only one thats like a GTA chaos mod moment there
Commas, use them.
In the super nintendo game the terminator looks like Hank Hill from king of the hill. That'll teach them to not buy any propane!
+Jacob “SupermanmXYZ” Sullivan Oh my gosh I am not the only one who thought that.

LOOOOOOOOLLLL Oh god....
Nice!

Best.Comment.Ever.
When Terminator was naked, it reminded me of that Bart scene from The Simpsons Movie.
Same. But we get a glimpse of Bart's tiny wiener..
We don't see Arnold's bazooka.
After all this time, I actually really like the death screen of the NES version of T2.
"At last you fight T1000...........with your fists >_>" LOL ! I laugh so hard at that part every time :))
Did they see the frickin' movie?!
I loved playing the arcade version at the Embassy Suites in Parsippany, NJ. It was in a small room in the pool area, along with Mortal Kombat II.
This game was awesome! FInished it without any help. I kept dying at the motorcycle stage and was like man this game sucks.
Didn't play it for a year or so, then one day revisited and completed it. Great achievement :P .
The head-on collision with the truck had me in tears. Holy shit, trying to control the motorcycle looks like a hilariously frustrating adventure of its own.
The motorcycle sidewalking was brutal 🤣
11:23 Ride to Hell: Retribution 2D version
3:35 The guy you are fighting looks like Lobo from DC Comics
And in the Ending Credits of Terminator 2, it says
PLAY THE HIT NINTENDO GAME FROM ACCLAIM/LJN ENTERTAINMENT.
"Never ever play this game"... unfortunately I did buy it as a kid... yeah never passed the motorcycle level.
The last one is actually Hank Hill from King of the Hill.
Imagine the Nerd's reaction to the snes's final boss where the T-1000 falls into the vat and you still have to fight him.
he looks like hank hill in that last game lol
I sell Skynet, and Skynet accessories...
Ahsta La Vista...I tell you hwaht
dang it johnny
Arnold in Terminator 2 for Super NES looks more like Hank Hill dressed as Neo xD
Oh jeez, now I can't unsee it
I used to have he SNES port, spent so many miserable days trying to beat it, and I still remember the horrors of the driving stages; every time I finished one it felt like a major achievement
6:40 I still had ammo when I reached to that part. The game actually takes away your weapons because you have to jump at the T-1000 to make him fall into the lava

I'd like to buy some propane, Arnold.
I sell propane and propane accessories, I'll tell you what.
It's pretty obvious he's out in the boonies. Maybe he was trying to sell propane and propane accessories.
Good thing those terminators aren't running on clean burning propane, otherwise they'd be invincible I tell ya hwat.
Yeah, the golden Terminator is called the Pimpinator.
Was it made by Mick and Ralph in over in Freeside, New Vegas? You know, the creators of the PimpBoy 3000.
They are Golden retrievers
Lol!! Definitely one of the funniest AVGN episodes, all thanks to the wonderful LJN. Great video you guys!
Ahhhhh, the Terminator theme song pierces my soul.
4:17 This is just like the big smoke mission from san andreas
Death to PG all you had to do was shoot the damn gates and truck Arnie!
Needs more Russian mobsters.
I still have nightmares about T2 on the Game Boy. One of the hardest games I've ever played.
9:04 the fact that they spelled "judgement" wrong is just absolutely hilarious
That's the correct spelling though.
Illustrations/Help - Mike Matei. That “help” was priceless.
“I know now vhy you cry…but it is something I can neva dooooh.”
Goodbye? Why not Hasta la vista?
He said that because those words were in the movie
Because that’s what Arnold says at the end in the movie
Probably trying to imitate... THAT person, you know, that type who misquotes popular movie lines.
@@ExplorerDS6789 chill out, dickwad
Probably because "hasta la vista" means "until next time", but there ain't gonna be a next time!
Ah, I remember T2 on my NES as a kid. I think it took my well over 5 years before I managed to beat level 2.
6:24 im almost sure its a gfx glitch, there should be more lava where the pipe is...
5:19 Thing-a-ma-fucker. Sounds like my aunts vibrator that I discovered when I was 8. I came downstairs holding it turned on with my family in the living room. My grandma took it out of my hand and didn't know how to turn it off. I didn't know what it was at the time lol. We all laugh about it now.
"Collect future objects" meaning you have to shoot and destroy them. I've been collecting videogames wrong for more than 10 years.
In T2 SNES, the Terminator seriously looks like Hank Hill.
The jump at 6:16 is almost as bad as TMNT's jump where you just have to walk over the platforms..
2:50 Idk why but James making noises like that is hilarious to me. 😂
T2 for NES by LJN was actually a good game, I liked it when I was young.
Oh no! Not the Rainbow ahaha!
9:26 They made the T-800 look less like Arnold Schwarzenegger, and more like Hank Hill from King of the Hill.
'_'
I'm surprised that the Nerd actually managed to *beat* one of LJN's "Terminator 2: Judgement Day" games! 😆
James was way more relaxed and lethargic in this one
Maybe this was when he drank a few Rolling Rocks beforehand.
Had the T2 on Game Boy (not the arcade one), and I loved it as a kid. Yeah it was a bit hard to finish it with one life, but I enjoyed it. And the opening theme was pretty good as well. For me one of the few decent games of LJN
T2 is a masterpiece, one of my favorite movies ever.
Its a thumbs up.
The jumping on T2 snes is the exact same as Jim Halpert dancing on the office lol.
There was one excuse for why the games were bad: LJN
I think punisher was about the only good one.
"They took somebody as badass as the Terminator and made him into a mockery."

You were probably the one driving
I completed this on the Gameboy :) was only game i had on a school holiday
I know now why you cry.... Getting T2 on the SNES for Christmas would make even an unfeeling machine weep...

That game made my dad very rich. He was the lead designer for the whole series. I'm loaded 🎉
10:41, apparently, the Nerd needs some better glasses, because clearly, there is a red skull there
Dude the snes version is making me giggle like a loon. Him hopping around like that 😂
Died laughing a lot, but the SNES part where he goes “He moves too slow unless you make him jump around like a fucking idiot” 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Terminator 2 is my favorite movie, and I thought that the NES version of T2 looked pretty good considering it's a movie tie-in video game published by LJN. Heck, I think I'm gonna add that to my retro game collection someday.

1:45 How Terminator: Dark Fate treated the franchise in a nutshell.
The only bad Terminator movie imo.
They totally messed up the story/ characters we used to love.
"Everything in this bar blows up for no apparent reason" It reminds me of AVGN's room, like seriously he just shoots his tv screen and his entire room is blowing up
Loved the ending!
“Goodbye, baby!”
I almost fell off the toilet, when you threw that game into the molten metal. LOL!!
The film's ended with part two.
That was the last actually good one.
I'd love to see the Nerd review the 3D Terminator games like T3 and Salvation. Could be a good way to celebrate Genesys or soemthing.
The Genesis version of that last one was a little bit better; the driving was at least more possible.
5:13 NOW I SEE IT! LOL
I still try to forget that one SNES version of T2: Judgment Day. T2: The Arcade Game and Terminator: Redemption were examples of good games.
Terminator 3: The Redemption = Best Terminator Game
Nope, Terminator on Sega CD is the best one.
how about Journey to Silius? 😂😂😂
I had the T2 arcade game for the gameboy and I really enjoyed it. :(
Only LJN would port an arcade shoot 'em up to Gameboy.
and what's interesting is that it was developed by Beam Software who developed the Punisher games on the NES and Game Boy. What's even crazy is that some of the unused tracks in the Game Boy port of T2: The Arcade Game are actually taken from NARC.
the terminator on the snes looks like hank hill.
I've spent countless hours of my childhood trying to figure out the SNES T2 driving stage as mentioned at 11:42
It truly is the worst driving controls I've ever played.
I never got past that second stage. SO BAD!
The driving is the over world, not the second stage.
SuperVideoMaster That makes it even more of a crap game. I couldn't even get to the second stage!
1:22 Will you all enjoying hearing the military soldiers saying “No”?
hank hill strickland propane
primary mission:
destroy tatterthon fuels
and eliminate all charcoal products
I had this game and I really didn't feel like a terminator
Well these games are bad so
He should've reviewed the SNES version of "Robocop vs Terminator".
Sega version is WAYYYY better.
Pretty sure the Gameboy version had the Terminator theme on it. It still haunts my nightmares.
by the way, LJN is only a publisher, so they didn't really make those bad games.
however, they allowed those games to be released.
Yeah, and they allowed ONLY bad games to be released.
Same can be said about EA... Yet we hate EA. So LJN is still to blame.
true. LJN's misfortune was pretty much that they were put in a ''Don't shoot the messenger'' position, but as the old adage goes, everyone has to start somewhere, which is the case for companies like Westone (who developed Jaws), and Atlus (who developed Karate Kid, Friday the 13th, and NFL Football)
