Channel Surfed into the original and realized I have not had the pleasure of seeing the remake and was wondering if its worth it or a disappointment? Was there a book or was it simply a novelization of the movie?
I might not be a dralasite, vrusk or yazirian but I do play one in Star Frontiers!

Side question, has anyone here run a Total Recall inspired SF adventure? Looks to me like Port Loren would be a good start point with possibly Dixon's Stat and the Tetrarchs pyramids as the culmination.

Although the stories are similar each has its own merits. The original was an action comedy romp like a lot of early Arnold movies. The remake is more in line with the none stop action and massive special effects but a deep moral message. Best advice don't compare them just enjoy them for themselves.
Sounds like a great job but where did you say we had to go?

Thanks for the advice, I'll look for the remake.
