When Arnold Schwarzenegger's T-800 reassured us "I'll be back", he can't have been referring to the franchise or merchandise as a whole. Is it possible to come back if you never went away in the first place? It's a mixed blessing in that not everything the series has spawned is a masterpiece like the first two entries in the celluloid field. Luckily I only cover Terminator II, the movie. Oh, and its translation to the medium of 8 and 16-bit home computer gaming in 1991 courtesy of Ocean Software, which erm... could have gone better. In their defence, it wasn't an inhouse creation, LJN were behind it. At least where the Amiga version is concerned, which is my main focus.
