Instead of trying to replicate the plot of the film, the pinball instead opts to recreate the emotional highlights with a whirlwind of nonstop action. Shoot the two Cyberdyne ramps repeatedly to raise the Security Levels, repeatedly hit the Chase Loop for progressive bonuses, then fire the ball over the left loop and Escape into the saucer to collect more rewards. Hit the dropdown target below the T-800's skull, then load the swinging cannon and shoot the HK-Aerial across the playfield to start multiball. But to score the Super Jackpot among all the chaos will require the cool demeanor of a robot...

* DemotedToExtra: Due to pre-release secrecy and fears the pinball could be released before the film, Robert Patrick and the T-1000 are not shown on either the playfield or the backglass, except for a small picture on a playfield shield. When the dot-matrix display programming was nearly completed, the "liquid metal" T-1000 was public knowledge, which allowed him to be included in the display animations.

'''Terminator 2: Judgment Day''' is a 1991 pinball game designed by Creator/SteveRitchie and released by Williams. It is based on the movie of the same name, and ArnoldSchwarzenegger reprised his role as The Terminator.

''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.

''Terminator 2'' was announced for ''Pinball/ThePinballArcade'' after Farsight Studios completed a Kickstarter fundraiser to get the licenses for the game.
