How to Play T2: The Arcade Game
Quick start
Move the crosshair across each scrolling scene and destroy Skynet forces from the future war through the Cyberdyne showdown. Keep the main gun firing, reserve missiles or grenades for vehicles and boss weak points, and shoot incoming projectiles before they reach you. Avoid civilians and allies, collect weapon upgrades quickly, and in two-player mode divide the screen so one player clears troops while the other handles large targets.
Controls
D-pad: move the crosshair. A or B: fire the main weapon according to the selected controller configuration. C: launch a grenade or special explosive. Start: begin or pause. The Genesis version also supports the Menacer light gun; with a pad, keep the fire button held while moving the sight and watch the limited explosive counter.
