History Pinball / Terminator2JudgmentDay

-->'''The Terminator:''' "Big points."

* RecycledSoundtrack[=/=]HeyItsThatSound: The Jackpot/Name Entry theme is the same as the end credits music for its arcade game counterpart. The Video Mode music is the same as the score screen music in the arcade game. Both the pinball and arcade games share the same sound effects. Composer Chris Granner worked on both the pinball and arcade games.

* DynamicDifficulty: The Database Saucer awards are great if a player has a low score, especially on ball 2 or 3. If the player has a great score then they are almost guaranteed to get the 100K "Big Points".

* MatchSequence: A pair of walls close together, repeatedly mashing a pair of digits between them to form the match.

''Terminator 2'' was one of the first pinball games to use a dot-matrix display, and the first pinball game to feature a Video Mode. It also eschews the traditional plunger for an automatic plunger (in the form of a gun), and features a ball-firing cannon on the right side of the playfield.

* PrecisionFStrike: The profanity [=ROMs=] for this game has "Fuck You Asshole" as one of the Database rewards, and if it's chosen, The Terminator says exactly that (a la [[Film/TheTerminator the first movie]]).

-->'''The Terminator:''' "Let's go."

A digital version is available for [=FarSight=] Studios' ''VideoGame/ThePinballArcade''.

'''Terminator 2: Judgment Day''' is a 1991 [[PhysicalPinballTable arcade pinball game]] designed by Creator/SteveRitchie and released by Creator/WilliamsElectronics. It is based on [[Film/Terminator2JudgmentDay the movie of the same name,]] and Creator/ArnoldSchwarzenegger reprised his role as [[Franchise/{{Terminator}} The Terminator]]. Unsurprisingly, the game rode the movie's popularity to become the best-selling pinball machine of 1991 by a landslide.

* PinballScoring: Not the worst, but a rather blatant abuser. Even a bad player will end a game with several million points. Do keep in mind that the beginning of the DMD era was also the beginning of a trope-naming score inflation trend that peaked right around ''Pinball/AttackFromMars''.

* SongsInTheKeyOfPanic: The music that plays when a hurry-up is active is very much this, all while the player is constantly being told to shoot the shot by both the Terminator and the DMD. This same music was remixed in many other Williams and early post-Williams [[Creator/SternElectronics Stern]] games and used in similar situations.
