The Terminator

Nice night for a walk...

@Vingle Things were simpler when you were 42.

@Trmn8rf4n But she looks better as a block.

How do you get the sound to work

Ciao,

vorrei chiedere se é possibile integrare un bottone "condividi" in modo da poter condividere più facilmente i giochi sui miei social. Grazie!

I remember playing this in soiled diapers

Hi,

Any idea where the symbols sheet is. Doesn't appear to be on the server listed above anymore.

I figured out where I was going wrong.

It even tells you at the end of installation.

to run the game you have to add "sblaster" to the end of your command when you run term.exe, so:

C:\TERMterm sblaster

For some reason after installation I'm not getting the sblaster or adlib executables so I can only run the game through term.exe, but that means there's no music only a few in game sounds. I'm so close to being able to play it, I've tried multiple versions from different sources but still don't get the sblaster or adlib files.

I've also discovered something confusing trying to figure this out.
You can play the game with sound at the link below, but when you exit the game into dosbox and look through the files, the sblaster and adlib files aren't there either and you can only reenter the game with term.exe. (playdosgamesonline com/the-terminator html).

I've tried it through my dosbox and dos 7 on a virtual machine with exactly the same results.

Any help/info regarding getting the music to work would be much appreciated.

Had similar issue to player below, got it to load the start splash screen in D-fend but then it gets stuck at a black screen with the music playing. I did change the config to 386 prefetch, however anyone else have an idea?

You'll need the pdf file (run with adobe reader) from fontaine's link. The game will ask you to match the picture in this chart.

Dude, is this what you're looking for?

The game is playable, you just need to learn how to use DosBox properly. Too bad I can't seem to find a manual haha, ohh well I'll just figure out the controls myself then

Hey at the end of the review it sez they had to take it down and to contact bethesda to get the game i had a quick look cant find it there anywhere.

my dowload didnt work.

HAHA i had this game when i was a kid wow . im downloading it now.

I had the game back in the early 90's. It's crap anyway, even with nostalgic value. Don't bother downloading - it's practically unplayable.
