Skynet Profile
1995
Cyberdyne Systems develops the neural net microprocessor - the first computer to think and learn like a human.
1996
The processor is so impressive that Cyberdyne becomes the world's largest supplier of military computers.
1997 August 4th
Cyberdyne's super computer, SKYNET, goes on-line, totally removing all human decisions from strategic defense. SKYNET learns at a geometric rate.
1997 August 29th
At 2:14 am, Eastern Standard Time, SKYNET becomes aware of its own power. Cyberdyne tries to shut down the system. SKYNET fights back.
To initiate an attack against its threat in the United States, it launches an all-out nuclear strike on the Soviet Union. Global thermonuclear warfare takes the lives of 3 billion people. The few who survive call it, Judgment Day...but the nightmare is only beginning. SKYNET aims to eradicate human life on Earth. To live, the survivors must wage the "War Against the Machines."
John Connor: Termination
2029
The war has continued for three decades. The human resistance is in retreat, but as yet undefeated. Their resilience is due largely to the exceptional leadership of their commander, John Connor.
However, SKYNET sent two terminators back through time. The first, a T-800, programmed to terminate Sarah Connor, John's mother, prior to his birth. It was defeated.
The second is a T-1000 series - advanced prototype, set to destroy John when he was ten years old. If the T-1000 succeeds in terminating John, humanity's last slim hope will die.
No Fate
Your goal is to keep that hope alive.
First, as John Connor, leader of the Human Resistance, you must find a warrior to defend your past self. Only one will do...a terminator.
Secondly, as the Terminator, reprogrammed from killer to protector, your operational directives are to save the young John Connor and to prevent mankind from completing its collision course.
The T-1000 will be hunting for you. It will not stop until it terminates you and the boy. The only way to defeat it is to change the future.
The remnants of the first terminator changed history. Find them, destroy them and kick that T-1000 into tomorrow, or the future is history.
The future of humanity is in your hands. There is no fate, but what we make.
Level 2 - Skynet
Your objective is to obtain a terminator by locating the Terminator Storage Area. The area is found by observing a T-800's entry into the correct room...although hanging around for a T-800 is not guaranteed to be good for your health.
Intelligence Report #002
Information leading to the locating of a T-800 to follow is hidden somewhere in SKYNET.

Level 5 - Cyberdyne Systems
SKYNET was based on the design of the computer chip and the arm of the first terminator sent back to 1984. To rewrite history and remove the vital link in SKYNET'S development, you must go through the Cyberdyne Systems building and retrieve the arm and the chip.
Unfortunately, as Cyberdyne's future also depends on these two spare parts, they are not about to hand them over to you with a big "thanks for saving the planet." The parts are locked in hidden vaults that can only be reached by following the correct path and only opened with the appropriate key cards.
Guards and elite M-16 armed SWAT teams are swarming all over the building, with strict orders to "shoot-to-destroy". You may be a cybernetic organism with living tissue over a metal endoskeleton, but get hit by enough rounds and you'll be another lump of scrap headed for the junkyard.
On the up side, you do have an M-16 machine gun with one clip and your 10-gauge.
