I’m looking for strange/interesting/obscure PC games. Could be anything from Windows, DOS, Mac OS (old school), PC-98, Amiga, or whatever else I’m missing there. Let’s hear ‘em!

There's a DOS game based on the first Terminator movie that takes place in an open world, released around 1990. You can play either as Kyle Reese or the Terminator.

In general, Terminator licensed games were in a weird place at the time, since T2 was the hottest movie around, but Ocean had the console rights and Midway had the arcade rights, so companies snatched up the license for the first movie instead.

That was Terminator: Future Shock, which was several years later and a more standard FPS instead of open world, but it was a pretty sweet game.
