Total Recall

Based on the 1990 Schwarzenegger film of the same name, Total Recall for the NES generally adheres to the movie’s plot across its nine levels. Unlike the various PC iterations, this title was created by Interplay and published by Acclaim.

Players control Doug Quaid as he platform hops across Earth and Mars in search of his stolen memories and the responsible parties. A collection of police, soldiers, and creatures will try to stop him. Quaid’s default attack is a strong punch, though guns can be knocked away from some guards and picked up for use. Cutscenes between certain levels tell the movie’s plot, and feature likenesses of the actors from the film (including Arnold).
