I love how this game fucked up with how strong terminators are. A terminator should be able to destroy a dozen genestealers in close combat alone. His power fist or lightning claws would annihilate them easily. One genestealer killing a terminator who is facing it...psshhh

@Artavios I think it was pretty accurate with the original board game (the bigger CC-weapons actually upped your chances of survival a great deal, however there was always the random death because of "a bad roll").Of course both versions of Space Hulk (tt and videogame) aren't comparable with the rules from actual 40k.

I remember that at some point in the intro (maybe by just staying a few minutes in the main menu without pressing any key) you could hear a really cool and tough metal song (lyrics included). Something like "Get out my way...".

I was so addicted to that song back in 1993.

Thanks for the video, btw, got me tears :-)

@hyder81 That was D-Rok, the song is called "get out of my way". However the Space Hulk track is just samples.

That's why you make helmets stronger and not come off so easily...
