Item Description
Journey to Silius was supposed to be a Terminator game. Sunsoft began it as an adaptation of the 1984 film, lost the license partway through development, and reworked the story and graphics into something original. A few fingerprints of the old plan survived, most famously a final boss that looks an awful lot like a certain cyborg, but what shipped in 1990 stands on its own as a sharp, stylish sci-fi run-and-gun.
You play Jay McCray, son of the scientist who built space colony #428 in the Silius Solar System. When the colony is destroyed in an explosion that kills his father's research team, Jay finds a floppy disk holding the colony plans and a message asking him to finish the project if terrorists ever destroyed it. Revenge follows across five stages: the ruins of the colony, an underground concourse, the enemy's hideout, a flying spaceship and a factory, each ending in a boss fight. Jay starts with a handgun and adds a shotgun, machine gun, homing gun, laser rifle and grenade launcher, and knowing which weapon to bring to which fight is half the battle.
Then there's the soundtrack, the reason so many players still talk about this game. Composer Naoki Kodaka, who also scored Sunsoft's Blaster Master and Batman, gave Silius a driving, bass-heavy sound that seems too big for the hardware, and he is often credited with using the console's sample channel for the bassline instead of drums. Reviews at release were mixed and the game never found wide fame in the West, but its music has been praised ever since and is a go-to example of how far Sunsoft could push the NES's audio.
A cancelled-movie backstory, hard-hitting action and one of the console's most celebrated soundtracks make Journey to Silius a rewarding stop for anyone exploring Sunsoft's NES heyday, and a cartridge best enjoyed with the volume turned up.

About the game
Journey to Silius, known in Japan as RAF World, is a side-scrolling run and gun video game developed by Tokai Engineering and published by Sunsoft for the Nintendo Entertainment System in 1990. Journey to Silius was originally based on the 1984 film The Terminator, but the licensing rights to the film were lost during development. As a result, the graphics and storyline were altered to accommodate this change, but remnants of the earlier version still remain in the game. For example, the final boss has a striking resemblance to the titular terminator in the film.
