Well I just got this game and had not remembered much of it from when I was a kid. All I can say is wow how far games have come since this classic. This game is a good retro game but the point of the game is pretty bad. All you do is pretty much just run up a street from a top view while the screen moves by itself pushing you along. While collecting clocks for more time you pretty much just try to avoid things flying at you. And the music is so repetative it will drive you up a wall. But you have to remember I guess this game was made in 1986 so for that year I guess its a good game. It will entertain you for a little while, not as long as say Mario, but its definitely worth a play or two. A good game to have in your collection regardless.
This game is really bad, but it is really adicting like an arcade game, but that's its only reedeeming quality. The music is annoying the game play is repeditive, the hit-boxes are sometimes off by a mile, the first mini-game is WAY to hard and will almost garentee a game over. The game doesn't follow the movie very well, it only "follows" the movie in the 4 mini-games every 5 or 6 stages (which the stages by the way are THE EXACT SAME THING) and even then they don't follow the movie very well only losely. You almost need the manual to tell you what's going on in each mini-game and what they tell you in the manual doesn't happen in the game. Oh one last thing, if you've seel the movie you'll burst out laughing at the drawings in the manuel.
I know a lot of people hate this game. It was frustrating for me when I played as a kid. And yeah, it doesn't follow the movie too well but does try. And yes, the music is very annoying, and loops over and over. Wait a minute! Marty's throwing bowling balls at people? Yeah, I know. That wasn't in the movie, but at least they give you a weapon, and I think it's essential. When using the skateboard, you can crash real easy into anything that comes in you're way, but it does make the level go by faster. Overall, I really like the box for this game. It looks good!
Review from By The Angry Nintendo Nerd. Gameplay 0 Graphics 1 Sound 0 It's the same song over and over. OMG don't get started. Value 0 Tilt 0 * Difficulty: Hard * Learning Curve: 0 to 30 Minutes * Time Spent: 10 Hours or Less Anyways, lets get right to the gameplay. The first mission is just a standard get to the end of the level before time runs out while avoiding all the stuff that are in your way. The direction you move in is up, but you can move side to side trying to avoid everything. So what do you need to avoid? Deadly ninjas, killer turtles, oktoroks, giant monsters of doom? Actually, no. You have to avoid bees, hoola-hoop girls, guys carrying glass for no apparent reason, oil spills, and fences. Really, is Marty that much of a pansy? Wait, the character you use doesn't even resemble Marty in anyway. Throughout the stage, you have to collect clocks so your time limit increases. So that's basically what you do. Collect clocks while avoiding random ****. It's just so annoying. Along the way, you can find a skateboard which makes you go faster. Though they should've put on the board, "Suicidal Skateboard, ride if you wish to die." By now you'd probably just want to take out the cartridge out of your NES and start watching the actual movie. However, if you did have the patience to go through that stage, then don't worry, the next stage is different. It's a break from that annoying scrolling stage. However, it's not anymore fun. What you do in this stage is that you're behind a counter and you have to throw these balls at oncoming people. If they reach you, they'll grab and you just chuck you at the door. Though throwing the balls is just so aggravating. It's so difficult to align the ball with the enemy. Okay, so you position yourself seemingly right in front of the enemy's path, then you throw a ball, but it misses him completely. This stage is break from that annoying scrolling part, but it's not any less aggravating. Oh, and once you're done with this second stage, guess what the next stage has in stored for you? More scrolling up the screen! Whoop-tee-do, I'd rather go and screw a cactus while eating a mule's infested diarrhea dumps. If by now you haven't shut off this awful piece of ****, then I'm sorry, but there is no hope for you. Seriously, just throw this game into the dumpster and pull out the movie. It's much more worth your time. The mechanics of this game just suck. It's difficult to control your character, and jumping is useless. Grabbing that skateboard I mentioned above just makes everything even worse. The graphics aren't that bad. Though they aren't impressive in anyway either. If the graphics are the best thing about a game, then there's a problem. The sound is horrible. It's just an annoying sound loop that goes throughout the whole game from the title screen. At least in that second stage you don't have to hear it. The sound effects aren't impressive in anyway either. Overall, the mechanics certainly aren't the worst on the NES... Though they still suck. This game is criminal. It ruined such a great classic called Back to the Future. This game is just a rip-off. It's a horrendous game that just steals that classic title. It should've been called "Back to the Dumpster."Read full review
Good game for the price that I paid classic game from the 1990s NES genre!!! I surely recommend titles like these to any Retro Game lovers / buyers like myself! Thank you and enjoy!

This game is one of the funniest games I have ever played! The cafe level is very hard and the game has nothing to do with the movie

At this time I do not qualify to give a review on the Back To The Future game. I have only tested it to make sure it works. I have other games that I have been testing out. One game cartridge has 150 games alone. Best regards Greg gregtreng52

This is possibly one of the worst games ever to come out for the nintendo. Movie games are notoriously poorly made with few exceptions. The game play has little to nothing to do with the movie and isnt very interesting. Your basically a character dodging items on the roads of hill valley to get to boss/level/stages that are the only challenging part of the game, also the only parts that make any sort of reference to the movie. The game also includes an awful soundtrack of a fifteen second loop of tonal nonsense, and none of the great movie music. If your collecting nes games just because you have to have them then you are a cursed soul such as I, if your getting games for entertainment this is a waste of time and money, however little it may be.
This game isn't the greatest NES game ever made but it's hard to make a movie game actually over the top on fun. But if you are a Back to the Future fan or just a NES collector this would be perfect the first stage "battle" type of deal always leaves me cursing at the tv cause it's so hard to get passed but if you can get passed that it's simple.
Bought it for the cartridge art. Already own the game and it's awful. But I gutted it and made my own retro console from its shell.
