For this year’s Valentine’s Day Obligatory Movie Game Podcast Episode, the love affair with Arnold Schwarzennegar movies continues as Devon and Judd sit down to discuss Total Recall for the NES. As big sci-fi fans, they chat about some of the themes that frequently pop up in Philip K. Dick’s stories, and they compare the future in Total Recall to our present, thirty-three years after the film came out. Even though the game is ridiculously hard, they find some elements of the setting and storytelling to praise. Like with any 8-bit tie-in, lots of the film has been left out, and plenty of weird things have been shoehorned in, but it all adds to the game’s charm, at least for a couple of old-school Arnie fans
