Back to the Future is a franchise that created happy memories for movie-goers, and abject terror for gamers. As awesome as it was to watch Marty McFly skateboard around Hill Valley on the silver screen, taking control of the hero in Back to the Future on NES was a nightmare. If you've never played it (or, like me, spent years trying to forget that you did), here's a not-so-fond look back at one of the most pathetic things to ever be called a video game.
When I was a kid, I basically only bought two kinds of Nintendo games: those with "Mega Man" in the title, and those that I randomly decided I needed to own. This approach led me astray on many, many occasions...but the worst instance was when I bought Back to the Future. I loved the movie; the DeLorean was awesome, Biff was hilarious, and Marty's mom was hot. All of these things had given Back to the Future so much credit in my mind that I couldn't imagine that any game based on it could be bad.
I was so wrong.
