If you’re a fan of Arcade1Up’s revival of classic arcade machines designed for your home, get ready. Longtime arcade fans will be pleasantly happy to learn that the company is bringing back the highlight of many a gamer’s youth with a home version of Terminator 2: Judgement Day!
Starting Monday, November 1, 2021, you can pre-order the Terminator 2: Judgement Day home arcade machine from Arcade1Up’s website. While the unit isn’t exactly a replica of the original arcade unit, in some ways its new design lends itself to personal use. Namely, the Uzis aren’t directly attached to the cabinet, allowing you greater freedom of movement.
In addition to the base game, which contains everything you remember about the original (including force feedback, the original voice clips and likenesses of Arnold Schwarzenegger, Robert Patrick, and Edward Furlong), the unit also contains a making-of video showing behind the scenes footage on how the Terminator 2: Judgement Day arcade game was made.
“Arcade1Up is excited to expand its family home game room with the addition of the epic, Terminator 2,” said Scott Bachrach, CEO of Tastemakers, LLC and Arcade1Up. “The original game, developed by Midway, was a blockbuster hit and now 30 years later, Arcade1Up is thrilled to celebrate this title in a home arcade machine for Terminator fans.”
Arcade1Up also has planned arcade cabinet replicas of Killer Instinct and Mortal Kombat 2 next month as well, so keep an eye out for those.
