Description

NES-L4-USA
A platformer with some punching and shooting. More or less follow the same plot as the movie. Notably breaks the 4th wall often, like when characters explain to Douglas Quaid (The protagonist), how he must go to mars and how to fast forward the movie to that point to save time. Aditionally, their are movie theators in the game where you can watch snipits of the movie that the protagonist is currently in. There is also occasional advice from the Governator himself (Arnold Schwarzenegger) directly to the player.
