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 American version of Acclaim's Total Recall adaptation, printed more widely than the PAL edition and thus easier to find loose. A film licence with hybrid, uneven gameplay and no cult aura, it is a common title with low cartridge value. Its only real collecting edge comes from the sealed copy, which carries most of this edition's price premium.
