In 1993, a Terminator FPS was released. And it was garbage.
I’m not joking here. The Terminator: Rampage is not only the worst Terminator game ever made. It might be the worst FPS made too.
Over the years, I’ve played a lot of crap. But oh boy, I was not prepared for how crappy this game was going to be.
The frame rate sucks. I tried speeding up the CPU and adding more RAM. No dice. Then I read old forum posts from the 90s to see if this was just my own tech incompetence but, nope, the animation was always jittery and choppy.
Moving is a chore. Just the act of moving your mouse left or right is slow as molasses.
What’s even worse? There’s little ammo, hardly any health packs, and enemies are bullet spunges.
You’d think some obscure developers would be responsible for this mess. But no, it’s Bethesda. That right, the same Bethesda who gave use the Elder Scrolls. And the same guy who designed The Terminator: Rampage also designed The Elder Scrolls: Arena.
And you know what? In a weird way, that makes sense because Arena also controls and plays like crap.
You can’t buy this on Steam or GOG.com. But if you see it out there in the wild, sitting in a box at some retro gaming expo, avoid it. This game will only give you misery!

Bethesda has the balls to say it inspired the development of Doom, and I doubt that very much.
