The Angry Video Game Nerd is back with another episode, this time taking on the classic game adaptation of the 1984 film, The Terminator. The Nerd begins his review by giving some background information on the movie and discussing its impact on popular culture. He then turns his attention to the game, which was released for several different platforms in 1992.

The Nerd notes that the game's graphics are fairly decent for the time, but he quickly discovers that the controls are horrendous. The Nerd struggles to maneuver his character around the levels, often running into walls and getting stuck in corners. He also finds the game's difficulty level to be incredibly frustrating, as enemies seem to appear out of nowhere and shoot him with deadly accuracy. The Nerd becomes increasingly agitated as he attempts to make progress in the game, cursing and swearing as he dies repeatedly.

Despite his frustrations, the Nerd continues to plow through the game's levels, encountering various Terminator enemies along the way. He notes that the game's music is actually pretty good, and he particularly enjoys the level that takes place in the future. However, he also finds that the game suffers from a lack of variety and creativity, with many of the levels feeling like carbon copies of each other.

As the Nerd reaches the end of the game, he discovers that the final boss battle is particularly egregious. The boss is incredibly difficult to defeat, and the Nerd spends several minutes cursing as he continually dies. He eventually manages to beat the boss, but not without a significant amount of frustration.

Overall, the Nerd concludes that The Terminator game is a prime example of a frustrating and poorly designed game. While it is certainly worth playing for fans of the movie, the Nerd warns that it is not for the faint of heart. He recommends that players have a steady supply of alcohol or other substances before attempting to play.

In addition to his review of The Terminator game, the Nerd also takes some time to discuss the various products and merchandise that were released alongside the movie. He showcases several different action figures, a comic book adaptation, and even a line of breakfast cereal. The Nerd has a lot of fun poking fun at these various products, noting that they often have very little to do with the actual movie.

Overall, this episode of The Angry Video Game Nerd is a hilarious and entertaining journey through the world of The Terminator. The Nerd's signature brand of biting wit and profanity-laden rants are on full display here, making for a fun and entertaining watch. Fans of the show will undoubtedly enjoy this episode, as will anyone who has ever suffered through a frustrating video game.
