Visually awing when it came out and still today. Lacking gameplay and shots variety. I was bored within a few games. The cannon was pretty cool when I was a kid, now not so much, but this was a really fantastic game years ago.

I’m quite pleased by this pin, I simply love it. From the second you launch the ball through the gun it’s a blast. Even the way the ball enters the playfield is fun, video mode is retro unique. The pop bumpers are crazy loud and fast. I didn’t think I would have this for long but it’s a keeper.

They missed the mark sooooo badly on this theme.
Kinda sucks bc there was so much they could have done, but.... It's not in there.
The game is fun to shoot. Ramps are cool. The terminator head does nothing except serve as a target which is lame and disappointing. The shoot the shot is cool. Skill shot can win a tournament if you get all 3.
But eh. I wish there was more in the game from the movie. It's just not there. And it's a very average pin. Fun to get on and shoot, but doesn't really bring ya back.
Edit after playing it more on site it is a fun game. Theming still lacks but it's a pin you can groove and learn the scoring to score easily. The gun is cool.

A very satisfying game to shoot, with the perfect balance of ramps, lanes and targets. Great audio and art package but a bit too light and jolly for the theme.
Played it many times and always have fun.
Old, but certainly not obsolete.

Owned a T2 in the past. Absolutely love the theme and the callouts from Arnold. The ball cannon was completely unique for its time and still is to this day somewhat. Sadly the gameplay is basic and hitting the left and right ramps get repetitive. Like many pins from this time the depth is lacking, but its still fun as hell!

My first pinball machine, I used to play it a lot as a child in arcades, I like interactivity with the dmd, the cannon that throws the ball, has two beautiful ramps, and the disturbing terminator face drives me crazy, fantastic theme! .. ....... Cons: the game remains very focused on the game of cannon

First game to really mod on our part. LED's, lighted Hunter-Killer ship, Plasma ball, Lighted Eyes, etc. Board work, re-built flippers, a few new coils and this one came back to life. Another game that probably won't leave the collection.

T2 was the first game designed with a DMD and also a cannon, better still it has Arnie doing the callouts. It's a simple fan layout so easy to play and the ruleset is not deep but yet rewarding none the less with skull / cannon jackpot and super jackpot, combo'ing ramps for payback time, as well as the chase loop and escape route. It was a hugely popular back in the day and so is a sentimental favourite for many people and draws a crowd when friends are over.
This was my first pin and will be hard to sell

This is one of my favorite games ever as a kid. Going to the 7-11 and playing it for hours. I played it again a couple of months ago and the love did not return. The new games are so much better than this one. Love the game and memories, but it is not a new JP or Dead Pool for sure.

Ramps, wireforms, and toys, oh my! Lots of 90s fun packed into this game. You've gotta love the call outs too.
