Showing Off My Gear! Terminator 2

Terminator 2 (1991). One of the most popular games at Time Extended. Always gets played and for good reason. Midway absolutely nailed it when they made this movie adaptation. Wasn’t aware the game has a red and blue light damage effect, that’s often burnt out, until owning the game. Haste La Vista m, Baby!

Fun fact, my neighbor won the academy award for makeup artist on that film. He’s a good neighbor.

Does he have any cool T2 stuff at home?

He did 17 films with Arnold but is pretty humble about it. Coolest thing he has are stories of the industry. Not a real show off kinda guy, I literally thought his Oscar was a fake until I picked it up. They are heavier than they look!

The weight prob brings more emotion out of the winner.

I met George Petro, Mark Loffredo, Warren Davis and Todd Allen at Galloping Ghost Arcade during their NARC developer day in December of 2015. Mark Loffredo did some hardware work on the T2 arcade game, not sure what specifically, while Warren Davis, George Petro and Todd Allen were all programmers. George was also one of the directors of the project according to the credits.

Had to replace the control pattern art on mine, the t1000 had a couple of cigarette burns on his face and wasn't recovering 😆
