Journey to Silius, known in Japan as Rough World (ラフワールド, Rafu Wārudo, stylized as [rʌf] WORLD),[b] is a side-scrolling run and gun video game developed 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. The graphics and storyline were altered to accommodate this change.

[A]ccording to Gimmick! creator Tomomi Sakai, Tokai is just a dummy company, like Konami's Ultra and Palcom brands, created to circumvent Nintendo's rules restricting the number of games a developer could publish for the Famicom/NES in a year. Former Sunsoft programmer and Trip World creator Yuichi Ueda, Blaster Master creator Kenji Sada, and current Chief Director of SUNSOFT Shigeki Shimizu confirm this. Tokai is a dummy company.
