The very first game based on The Terminator movie, not counting the handheld LCD game from Tiger, is Bethesda Softworks' The Terminator for DOS, released 6 years after the premiere of the movie, in 1990. It was announced and developed after the announcement of the sequel.
The game has some cool, now retro opening cutscenes/animations but the overall gameplay and graphics are very bland even for 1990. You either play The Terminator looking for Sarah or Reese protecting Sarah and hiding out in Los Angeles, gathering resources and weapons in between.
And the actual gameplay
