Obviously the developers got confused with which Schwarzenegger game they were making.

Music

The soundtrack to this game consists of only 5 songs, which isn't a lot for an NES game. George Sanger and David Warhol both wrote the music to this game. David Warhol would then take Sanger's MIDI files and arrange them for the NES. George Sanger has given us official names to the songs he composed. David Warhol said he had no official names for the songs he wrote, so they are named after the areas that they play in the game. Sanger also stated that he wrote more songs for the game but for some reason, they never made it into the game. George Sanger composed his MIDI files on Performer for the Macintosh and David Warhol used Cakewalk for DOS for his MIDI files.

There is also an unused song in the game, which was the theme for Total Recall composed by Jerry Goldsmith. George Sanger recalls writing the MIDI file and said that David Warhol may not have had the rights to the music from the movie.
