Total Recall ZX Spectrum 128k © 1991 Ocean

The game consists of 3 platform and 2 driving 2D stages. In platform levels 1 and 3 you must collect 5 items that will then appear in the empty windows on the screen. Generally you must get through the platform maze by running, jumping, kneeling, using elevators, flipping colour switches (blue, magenta, cyan) to reposition gates and platforms of the corresponding colour, stepping on "PAD" signs to temporarily disable electric barriers, collecting weapons, punching, killing enemies, restoring energy. Once you have collected any weapons you can cycle through them by pushing fire button + down. In driving stages you must last on the road till you reach the final destination by shooting enemy vehicles to restore energy, collecting energy, avoiding ambulances...

This could have been one of they greatest games ever made on the Speccy judging by the scrolling and sprite work. I'm very impressed

I'm nothing short of stunned that I was ever able to figure out that rats maze of a first level.

Apparently this was made in a ridiculously short amount of time. The original dev team just hadn't got anywhere with it.

Graphically impressive but not very exciting game play. This understandable as it was rushed. The development team should be praised for what they had achieved with such little time. Their efforts may have been better suited to another game of a similar genre like Alien 3.
