Target: Terror is a shooter arcade game developed and published in 2004 by Raw Thrills, and designed by Eugene Jarvis. The game involves using your gun controller to defeat terrorists attacking various places in the United States, including Denver Airport, the Golden Gate Bridge and Los Alamos National Laboratory. After dispatching terrorists in these areas, the player is sent to an airplane that has been commandeered by hijackers. In the last section of the game, no continues are allowed and the player must purchase another credit and restart the stage from the beginning if he or she fails.
There is a special edition version called Target: Terror Gold which awards medals to the player as a form of bonus and also has hidden mini-games that can be unlocked by damaging certain parts of the environment, including monitors, windows and hazardous material drums.
A sequel, called Target: Terror 2 is currently in development

- In the game, one of the terrorists is similar to the Unabomber.
- If you look very closely in the game's attract/demonstration modes, one of the "terrorists" has a striking resemblance to Bam Margera, a professional skateboarder, but with glasses and a different hat.
- All enemies in the game wear either sunglasses or a ski mask. No civilians wear these items.
- In the title screen you can see photos of George W. Bush & Osama Bin Laden.
- Target: Terror is one of the few two-player arcade rail shooters to offer what it calls "Justice Mode", the use of both guns by one player, for the same cost as one-gun play, and tracking score, health, and (in the Gold edition) medal counts as single-person play.
- If you contiously Fire at the terrorist's heads they will fly off and a low voice in the game will be heard by a female voice that says "decaptaition" this is the only scene of gore throught the whole game.
