Terminator 2, the blockbuster movie from the 1990s, is still beloved today, even if it can't get a proper Blu-ray/4K home video release (they're all super blue and/or DNR-ridden messes). The film was so huge that Midway released a light gun-style arcade game that was soon ported to 16-bit and 8-bit consoles and computers...

Before we go too far in our discussion of this week's Co-Op Classic, I feel I must come clean with our readers.  I am a huge fan of the Terminator movies.  I first saw the original when I was about 15 or so, and I totally loved it.  The time travel angle, the intense chase scenes, the unstoppable nature of the Terminator, all of these worked together to make a truly memorable movie.  (It helped that Linda Hamilton was a total fox.)  So great was my devotion to the movie (my wife loves them too!) that my boys are named after characters from the movies: Kyle and Connor, respectively.  I remember that when T2: Judgment Day was released in theaters, it was seriously hyped.  You couldn't go anywhere without seeing a poster, can of soda, or magazine with Arnold's face on it. It was no surprise then, that a video game based on the movie would hit the arcades. Terminator 2: Judgment Day, the arcade game,  was a co-op experience that was memorable in its own right.
