Back to the Future is a 1989 video game for the NES that was developed by Beam Software and published by LJN. It is loosely based off the plot of the first film of the Back to the Future trilogy.The game begins with the plot of young Marty McFly being stranded in 1955, needing not only to get back to 1985, but also to get his parents George and Lorraine together before he goes back home. However, most of the game is spent traveling through the streets of Hill Valley collecting clocks to keep his family photo from vanishing entirely while avoiding bees, hula hoop girls, workmen, bullies, and even the natural obstacles of the streets. There are three places in Hill Valley that Marty needs to visit — Lou's Cafe, where he must throw milkshakes at Biff's gang to keep them from reaching the counter and throwing Marty out the door; the high school, where Marty must block Lorraine's hearts of affection that she sends towards him; and the dance, where Marty must catch flying musical notes with his guitar to build up the Love Meter so that George and Lorraine can have their first kiss. The final goal of the game is to get to the DeLorean and dodge lightning bolts while trying to get enough speed so Marty can travel back to 1985.A sequel, Back to the Future Part II & III, based on the second and third films in the franchise, followed in 1990.For the Telltale game, see Back to the Future: The Game. |

Anachronism Stew: Presumably, those hula hoop girls are included because it's 1955, and hula hoops are an iconic '50s fad. The problem with that is that hula hoops are a late '50s fad, invented in 1958. Whoops. |

A Winner Is You: Upon successfully clearing the final Event Stage (the Delorean), all you are rewarded with is a "Congratulations, Marty" text screen and that's it. |

Delayed Ripple Effect: As you progress toward your goals, you must collect clocks to keep the family photo from fading completely, which is a visual reminder of how your future is being affected by your disruption of the past. Once you complete the mission of getting your parents to kiss at the dance, the picture stops fading for the rest of the game. |
