Okay, so I've made it far into the game Terminator: Future Shock. I'm really loving this game. Not only is it as good, if not better, than it was when I played it years ago, but it even makes many of today's game pale in comparison. It's too bad this game was so underrated.

With that said, there's this issue I have on the Kill Bishop mission. Basically, when I do make it to Bishop and I'm supposed to kill him, I'm able to destroy the machine around him that's poking at him, but not Bishop himself. No matter what I shoot at him or throw at him, it all goes right through him. I believe there's an issue with the game that makes all 2D sprites transparent or "holographic". Are any of you familiar with this issue and if there's a solution or a patch that will fix this?

i'm not familiar with the game (though your raving about it makes me think about trying it soon, have it here somewhere (; ), but is this maybe a puzzle? Like, you have to press a key or something to kill the poor guy? You could try looking for a walkthrough on Gamefaqs to rule out that possibility.

Are you using the upgraded version (i.e. Skynet with Future Shock high-res option)? I got stuck in the same place and the only way to go forward was to play the original Future Shock version of that mission or skip the mission with a cheat code in the upgraded version.

PS. It's probably not a Dosbox problem since I played with VDMSound.

Yes, I am playing the Skynet version. I kinda figured it wasn't a Dosbox issue, but I just had to be sure.

I ended up using the cheat to skip the mission. That was all I could do. I know how it all ends in that mission anyway, so it's no biggy.

I'm currently playing Future Shock v1.00 (12/04/95). I've got to the part where you kill Bishop and the machine playing around with him. I can kill both with a swing of the pipe.

What is the hi-res pack that Skynet offers? I'd let to update Future Shock to this "hi-res" mode and test to see if I can still kill him whilst using it.
