Total Recall connections.


Duke Nukem 3D reminds me a bit of Total Recall with Arnold Schwarzenegger. Does anyone know what the Total Recall references are in Duke Nukem 3D?

I think it's where Duke goes into the stripclub in the Red Light District and some of the Strippers are aliens and Duke has a hologram which he uses to distract the murderous aliens and mutated LAPD policemen...

Hmmm, that reminds me of the button with a three fingered deepening on it.

What made you think the strippers were aliens? The strippers were perfectly normal females.

In the opening part of the first episode of the original 1991 Duke Nukem game, Duke says to Dr. Proton: "I'll be through with you and be home in time for Oprah!"...I'm pretty sure this is a reference to the "I'll blow this place and be home in time for corn flakes!" from Total Recall, which came out just a little bit before Duke Nukem.
