Skynet was one of my most anticipated games and I couldn't wait to feel the thump of the Terminator music and the adrenaline rush that comes with having to save the remnants of the human race from a mechanized-wrought genocide. An exciting opening cut scene, accompanied by the menacing Terminator music in the background, hints that rousing times are ahead. However, all the speed and intensity of the opening is lost when the first of eight full-motion video mission briefing begins. But don't get me wrong, this game is not just another Duke or Quake knockoff. Gameplay Puzzles, tricks and traps are abundant in Skynet .
Missions are more integrated and sophisticated than simply annihilating the enemy terminators.
Launch codes for a terminator-controlled nuclear missile must be downloaded, but only after trying to find the entrance in the heavily guarded Cyberdyne Systems building. After retrieving the launch codes, the secret entry into the terminator-controlled submarine base must be located. But don't worry about defending yourself against terminators. Dispatching your enemies to the junk pile in the sky is as easy as choosing which weapon to nuke them with. Equipped with a useless metal pole, an Uzi, and the ever-present shotgun, you begin the game well stocked.
