The War Against the Machines
Three billion human lives ended on August 29th, 1997. The survivors of the nuclear fire called the war Judgment Day. They lived only to face a new nightmare, the war against the machines!
This war has raged endlessly for three decades, but the tide is turning. The human Resistance scores greater victories with every day.
SKYNET, the supercomputer controlling the machines, has been forced into a last desperate effort to destroy its enemy. It has sent two terminators back through time to eliminate the future leader of the Resistance, John Connor.
The Terminators
•
The First Terminator: Programmed to strike his mother, Sarah Connor, in the year 1984 before he was born. It failed.
•
The Second Terminator (T-1000): An Advanced Prototype sent to strike John himself when he was 10 years old.
•
The Protector (Model 101): A Cyberdyne Systems Model 101 T-800 Terminator captured and reprogrammed by the Resistance. Your skin of living tissue allows you to blend in with humans unnoticed, and your metal endoskeleton can withstand relentless punishment.
Mission 2: Los Angeles, Today
Cyberdyne Systems came into possession of the arm and Central Processing Unit (CPU) of the first terminator. Its unique design revolutionized their approach to computer science.
Led by Miles Dyson, their Special Projects Team is on the brink of creating the neural net processor, the first computer to think and learn like a human. They will then develop SKYNET, a supercomputer that will remove all human decisions from strategic defense.
On August 29, 1997, SKYNET will become aware of its own power. Cyberdyne will try to shut it down, and in self-defense, SKYNET will initiate global thermonuclear warfare. You must rewrite this history.
Cyberdyne Objectives
•
Destroy every piece of Cyberdyne's research, as even one work station left could be enough to carry on SKYNET's development.
•
Wreck everything while immobilizing the M-16 armed SWAT teams and flask-throwing lab technicians intent on reducing you to scrap.
•
Collect vital pick-ups placed every few yards by Sarah and John Connor to help send Cyberdyne back to the dark ages.
No Fate
SKYNET ended 3 billion lives on Judgment Day. Now, it will end all human life on earth unless you help the John Connor of the future and the John Connor of the present.
•
Waste the soulless endoskeletons in the war torn ruins of Los Angeles.
•
Penetrate the invincible ring of SKYNET's ground and air defenses.
•
Obliterate Cyberdyne Systems.
You are a machine, but without you mankind has no tomorrow. There is no fate but what you make!
