Product Description
The Arcade 1Up Terminator 2 Arcade Machine is a 2021 home arcade cabinet recreation of the 1991 Midway light-gun rail shooter Terminator 2: Judgment Day, announced by Arcade1Up on October 26, 2021 and available for pre-order starting November 1, 2021 as part of the company's holiday lineup, at a retail price of $700 as a collectible home gaming piece for Terminator fans and retro arcade enthusiasts. The original Terminator 2 arcade game, as confirmed by Arcade1Up's announcement and reporting from Retroware, debuted on Halloween 1991, a few months after the release of James Cameron's film, with Midway developing the T2 arcade game simultaneously with the film's production and release, utilizing light guns for one or two players to portray T-800 cyborgs, with digitized footage featuring Arnold Schwarzenegger, Robert Patrick, and Eddie Furlong reprising their film roles. The Arcade1Up Terminator 2 cabinet is a three-quarter-scale recreation of the original 1991 arcade stand-up, featuring two real-feel light guns with force feedback and built-in rumble and sound effects, a 17-inch BOE color monitor, dual speakers, a light-up marquee with Terminator 2-themed artwork, a custom riser, Wi-Fi connectivity for online leaderboards, and exclusive behind-the-scenes content from the game's creation. The assembled unit weighs just under 82 pounds and stands approximately five and a half feet high with the riser, and includes an anti-tip strap for safety and adjustable volume. Retroware noted the guns are on short cords and are more overtly fictional-looking than the original 1991 machine's props, while both retain the built-in rumble and sound effects that provide the force-feedback experience central to the light-gun rail-shooter format. Released October 15, 2021 at $700.
