Still, it's interesting to imagine what would have happened had Sunsoft kept the license.
The first console games didn't surface until 1992, well after T2: Judgment Day hit theaters.

Sunsoft's big movie tie-in at the time would be Batman, and the first Terminator game was Bethesda's 1990 first-person PC title. Instead of Sarah Connor escaping the T-800 with the help of Kyle Reese, it had Reese fighting Terminators in a Skynet-controlled future.

The developer reportedly lost the license after the game basically abandoned the movie plot. No one was going to mistake this for the 1984 movie, of course, but Sunsoft was clearly hoping that cinematic look would sell copies. It claimed this was the first game to include "movie footage and interactive graphics technology," and bragged that this would be the "most amazingly lifelike" home console game you'd ever seen. That didn't stop the studio from dishing out the hyperbole, though. The game hadn't been in development for long before the CES promo tape was ready, and Sunsoft couldn't show much more than the splash screen and cutscenes. Gaming Alexandria has obtained a promo video Sunsoft made to advertise the Terminator game at winter CES 1989, offering a rare peek at what the title was supposed to look like. However, evidence of what that game looked like was seemingly lost to the ages. Terminator: Resistance is an officially licensed, first-person shooter set during the ‘Future War’ scenario that was only glimpsed at in the iconic films from James Cameron, ‘THE TERMINATOR’ and ‘T2: JUDGMENT DAY’. The company lost the movie license and reworked the game into what would become Journey to Silius. Cover is fully destructible in the game, meaning that your mechanical enemies will attempt to take that advantage away from you if they recognize that you are. The very first game based on The Terminator was supposed to be an NES side-scroller from Sunsoft, but it never panned out that way.
