A decent but forgettable Total Recall tie-in. Uninspired platforming and urban action, repetitive enemies. The Schwarzenegger license deserved better than this anonymous NES adaptation.

Collector interest

The PAL edition of Acclaim's adaptation of Verhoeven's film, this European Total Recall mixes platforming, driving and shooting with the uneven craft typical of the studio. Released in 1990, its collecting interest stems from a tighter European print run than the US version, sought by fans of NES film licences in PAL boxes, complete value clearly leading the loose.
