The Terminator: Future Shock

Being Able to look up and than hinted at things to come - it was a down, hopping into tanks and spurting hot lead from above are all features film licence done right that didn't rely solely on the films. In it, you were simply a soldier fighting the machines of we've come to expect in a modern first-person shooter. However, back in the days when triple-buffering was Skynet across the blighted urban wasteland of future Los Angeles. Most something you did with a pot of mayonnaise and a pillow when your buildings could be explored for various weapons and extra ammo and outdoor parents were out at Bingo, such things were seldom dreamt about. wrecked cars burned ceaselessly under the bleak sky.

Cruelly overlooked (probably because its release was quickly followed Despite the decent spread of weapons, enemies like spiderbots and by Duke Nukem 3D), Future Shock more the terminators themselves, the game suffered from a lack of variety in the environments and a couple of showstopping bugs. A lack of multiplayer support didn't help things either, although developer Bethesda (since resurgent with its magnificent Morrowind RPG) did make amends with a multiplayer-centric sequel a year later.

Sadly, as has been the case with modem FPS masterpieces like No One Lives Forever 2 that haven't received the adulation they deserve, Future Shock barely warrants a mention in FPS history, despite being something of a milestone at the time. Maybe Atari's Terminator 3: War Of The Machines will fare a bit better? Let's hope so.

Based on the films, this Terminator opens after a devastating nuclear war between sentient computers and humans.

Equipped with a huge lineup of weapons and vehicles, you help John Connor battle the marauding robots on foot, in the air, and behind the wheel. The 3D texture-mapped graphics depict ruined buildings and Terminator outposts.
