How labyrinthine do the levels get?
After screwing with dos box i finally got the game to run at a reasonable frame rate (no sound though). I've only gotten to level 5 or so but they're getting big and the corridors seem to go on forever. Does it continue to get more elaborate

I will say Bethesda nailed the atmosphere in this just like they did with future shock

All 32 maps are exactly the same size. Some lean gamey, others thematic. But they're all more or less labyrinthine. Personally I think the maps are better laid out than Arena's. A friend of mine who has done speedruns of the game tells me that it's absolute bullshit toward the end. If you watch, you'll see that some levels take 10 times as long to complete, because of how careful you have to play to fight the more difficult enemies. The soundtrack is great. Eric Heberling did a lot of stuff for Bethesda back then. I've only ever experienced the maps through the Arena engine, but what's cool about them is the combination of level geometry with billboard sprites. So you get half walls that are textured like cabinets, and light fixtures hanging from the ceilings. Obviously not as impressive as Doom, but still cool.

I like the sprite work for the guns. Impressed by it actually. The Uzi, shotgun, and m16 all look great
And yeah soundtrack is awesome. Since I can't get sound to work I've just been playing the soundtrack in the back ground via you tube and unlike some games, it legitimately adds to it.
It's more than just a wolf clone

As an example, decent sprite for the starting pistol. Looks more real than others from the time imo

You're fault not mine. You can get it for free easily

I've been bumping this thread trying to talk about something on pc from before 2000. Not exactly something someone from /v/ would bring up. And it irritates that I have to bump because these games were easily discussed here at the beginning of the year. You're barking at a tree when the burglar is in your house

What? It's less janky than most of theor other stuff.
Soundtrack is pretty good
Atmosphere is perfect
You have mouselook, can jump, etc.
You can go into pretty much any building you want and look for stuff
Enemies either match those shown in the movie or are at least something you could see sky net making
Weapons are all great
Only poor parts are the vehicle sections and those aren't that bad either.

I remember the levels had a sort of office layout. The level layouts made a lot more logical sense than Wolf3D to an office setting. Never did finish the game since I was running a 386DX2-40 at the time, and the game refused to run on a Pentium-75, leading me to eventually get a 486DX4-100 just to play it. Of the early levels I did play on a shit framerate, I remember hiding and healing in washrooms and picking off individual robots instead of getting surprised and reacting to the situation.

Terminator Rampage was one of my regret purchases and it is one of the few games I ever managed to sell away, I am not sure I regret that too. It reviewed well in magazines, and Rampage did do what I imagined would have happened: Skynet would build itself in the past as backup plan to ensure its future will happen. I really wanted to like the game since I was a fan of the two movies I did see, the 2nd movie was the biggest film of its time and Rampage came out not too long after. If it ran better, maybe I would have stayed around to enjoy Future Shock.

If we remove ONE word we sum up the zoomer attitude towards gaming completely.
