So both the T-800 and the T-1000 are hot on John Connor's trail and they sort of both track him down to a mall, the Galleria, where he and Tim have gone to play Missile Command.
Matt BrownHOST
Missile Command.
Stephen MurrayHOST
Which is always seen as a foreshadowing of what's about to happen.
Stephen MurrayHOST
It's an Atari game and it's a cabinet game, obviously.
Stephen MurrayHOST
Later on, Bethesda would be the company which would do all the Terminator games.
Stephen MurrayHOST
But the game that he's playing in this as Missile Command is basically you've got to shoot as many missiles before they land in your cities.
Stephen MurrayHOST
And you hardly ever manage to save the planet.
Scott EdwardsHOST

And also Caverns of Mars, which, as far as I know, was never an arcade game before.
Kay SavetzHOST
So, as you know, that was born on the Atari 8-bit machine.
