YMMV / We Can Remember It For You Wholesale

• Best Known for the Fanservice: Instead of the triple-breasted hooker of the movies, the original story has Shirley the topless receptionist with painted tits.
• Magnificent Bastard: Douglas Quail is a seemingly normal man who feels unhappy with his life and wants to visit Mars. Unable to escape from his situation through normal means, Quail goes to Rekal, Incorporated to get false memories of having been a secret agent on Mars; but soon learns that he actually was a secret agent for Interplan who pulled off a miraculous assassination on Mars before Interplan wiped his memories. Slowly regaining his previous memories, Quail uses his skills as an agent to escape from a pair of officers, only surrendering when he realizes he can't run forever. Quail offers to have his memories replaced again and upon learning that getting memories of a normal life won't work, surprises the agents by suggesting that he be given a fantastical life, which will likely work. The memories he's set to get have him saving Earth from aliens as a child, with the aliens refraining from invading as long as he's alive. It's then revealed that this is actually something that happened to Quail as a child, leaving him completely safe from Interplan in the end.
