Arcade1Up’s new Terminator 2 arcade cabinets are quite close to the design of the originals, the main difference being that the guns aren’t attached directly to the control panel. Instead, the colorful guns that come with this cabinet can be pulled out on wires, so you can move around more while firing at the screen.
It would be pretty cool to have the Terminator 2 arcade game at home. A theatre I went to regularly had it in their game room well into the 2010s. They might still have it, I just haven’t been there in a few years to see it.
