Running on the once-popular Williams/Midway Y-Unit
arcade hardware, the 2 players essentially take part in controlling a T-800
model and gun down the terminators of the opposing side in a light gun style
fashion, even though the controller was technically a joystick.
The gameplay utilizes a first-person perspective, like the rest of the games
in the genre, but what was noteworthy about T2 was the use of digitized actors
from footage specially shot during the making of the film.
This made for realistic 2D sprites in a Light gun game for the time.
Arnold Schwarzenegger, Robert Patrick, and Eddie Furlong all reprised their
respective roles for the making of the arcade game. Linda Hamilton does not
play Sarah Connor in any footage of the game; she is instead played by Debbie Evans.
