Your videos are such a trip back for me. Saturday morning cartoons, WWF Wrestling and playing Nintendo were my weekends as a kid. I remember renting this one and I couldn't even make it down the first street! So frustrating, but I lacked patience back then.
@@MikeSteele-g7y this game was such a disaster. Does nothing to invite the player in. The only reason we stuck it out was because of loyalty to the movie.
No, it very much is not. This game is pretty bad, but there are easily well over 100 games more deserving of that title than this. That is a HUGE exaggeration.
@@retronate Then you haven't played a lot and have very limited history with gaming as a whole, if you think that. Even broadening your horizons even a little, you'd see very quickly this is objectively not true.
One point for the game: You dont have to worry about the picture after the Dance level. Which is the only thing that makes sense about this game. At least they got 1 thing right.
@@TheSillySils like any game based on something I love, I really wanted to like it. I played it a bit as a kid and just sort of excused all the garbage parts of it. But I can no longer turn a blind eye to my grievances. Enough is enough.
You get one "milk shake machine" attack to start at Lou's. If you press Select at anytime you wipe the bullies clear off the screen. The waitress brings you more of those types of attacks.
This game is like if you forgot about the science project until the night before it was due and it's 1030pm and all the stores are closed. It was totally phoned in. Turn and burn.
Thats actually a pretty darn good analogy. Happened to me a few times back in the early 80s. You would be amazed at what my Mom could help throw together after 8pm on a Sunday night. God Bless her:)
I play The Power of Love in an 80s tribute band, and that definitely is no Power of Love. haha. I don't believe I ever played this as a kid, but I have seen AVGN's review of it. You have more patience for bad games than I do, for sure.
No one went to prison for this. We’ve failed as a society. Also LOVE that you’re in an 80s tribute band. Your Love by the Outfield still my fave from that era.

You’re not required to collect clocks after your parents kiss in the dance hall. The picture stays in tact. Of course they are still good for 50 points apiece
It was natural to want to complete it being that it was Back to the Future, one of the most beloved films of that era. But good lord we endured a horrific game to that end.
I had this game as a kid. I'd play it every day and still never made it past Lou's cafe. I played other games as well i didn't torture myself relentlessly with this bs😅😢
At the very least they could’ve made “Power of Love” by Huey Lewis correctly, but instead we get the horrific, 10x speed version that plays over and over and over and over….
Didn’t want to pay the licensing I guess. Therefore they took a great song, sped it up to create a horrific mess so they could save a buck, and then we had to suffer. And NO ONE WENT TO JAIL.
Absolutely right. The first time I failed to beat the last level and had to restart, I knew I had to be mentally ready to retry it. I simply cannot handle more than one attempt of this game at a time
The prom game is kind of predicated on musical knowledge too - knowing sharps are higher and flats are lower. It’s unlikely gamers would just know that intuitively

I had the very unpleasant pleasure of playing this game when I was a kid. We would always have the holidays at my Grandma's place, she had a NES hooked up in the back bedroom with a very nice collection of games. This was one of them, saw it and played after thinking it might be cool.....After 10 mins of playing I shut the game off and never played it again. It's just bad.

But it's been argued that it isn't even a game. I think this is worse. You can at *least* have fun with Big Rigs, it's just so preposterously stupid. This though, you can't even do that much.
20 mins of Hell for one shot at beating the game. You assume if you don’t get out that the end screen is great and you gotta try again. Then they give you THAT?!?! Awful.
@@Kevin-tz2lv well if you do know me, you know I’m pretty slow. I’m completely lost on GC part of HV. But hey, neither here nor there. But I will say I NEVER remember even playing this game as a kid, let alone enjoying it. If I did, I chalk it up to my immature childhood perspective.
It’s absurd. Only 4 levels are different from the basic structure. The best level is easily 15 where you’re playing guitar at the dance…and the worst is 20 where you have ONE CHANCE to get back to the future. This game BLOWS
@@retronate after watching the whole vid, I may have made it a bit further but, I know for sure I never made it far. I play old games with my kids now and they hate how hard these games were. I told them, I had over 100 NES games and problem beat about half. lol
I was so bummed when I rented it. I remember though thank goodness for renting. Could not image how bad you would have felt getting this garbage as a gift.
I never played this but I seem to remember reading in gaming magazines that all of the Back to the Future games were all terrible. This video must have been horribly painful to have to make and edit.

@@kristaniebergall5309 oooh I disagree on Dr Jekyll Mr Hyde. I did a walkthrough of that too and I have thoughts why even though it’s not great, it’s not nearly as bad as this.

I’m still early in my list of games - simply from an odds perspective it’s likely I find one worse. But to this point it’s far and away the worst I’ve played.
For the safety of your sanity please don't go through back to the future 2; it's even worse than the first one. With the puzzle pieces and unscrambling of words, I still shudder at those kid memories..
@@ZeklorWGD it feels to me just like the classic LJN cash grab but perhaps there’s more to it than that. I don’t really know and if I’m being honest, I don’t care to find out. This game has soured me on ever getting near it again.
It was always terrible and that awful music loop will drive anyone crazy. The gameplay itself is just an assortment of dumb minigames. There was no actual effort put into it by the development team.
This game really is a complete stinker and parents should have used it as a punishment. Between the annoying game play and that music that makes suicide seem like a good idea, this game is awful. I remember bringing it home excited to open it and start playing and then going to bed that night very angry for being fooled by Nintendo yet again. Curse this dreadful game and God bless anyone with enough poise, patience and stamina to play it to completion.
@@chucku1001 look if you want me to take a dump in a box and slap the word guarantee on it I’ll do it I’ve got spare time…but for your sake, for your daughters sake, why not consider buying a quality product from us?

I have a hard time thinking it can, but there are nearly 700 North American titles in the library. Odds say there is one worse than this out there. I shudder to think…
@@retronate when I got to the cafe for the first time I was super excited to see what was next. So that drove me to continue to play this terrible game.
If you're looking for more bad games, try the aforementioned Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde, X-Men, Silver Surfer, Hydilide just to name a few. If you want a great challenging classic, do Blaster Master
@@airwolfpsuvery much looking forward to Blaster Master. I’m aware of how difficult silver surfer is. Hydlide I’ve never played. This is a nice high watermark for crappy games though.

Thanks a lot! Love these games too. Glad you enjoyed!
I feel your pain on this...
@@kinglysandus ugh….just awful
Back to the Hoodture.... Figueroa St. Edition
@@chvzm I don’t know this reference and I’m not sure I want to
For the safety of your sanity please don't go through back to the future 2; it's even worse than the first one. With the puzzle pieces and unscrambling of words, I still shudder at those kid memories..
It has to be done at some point, but I need a break from this franchise for a bit after this one.
This charade! 😆🤣
A disaster from start to finish.
@@retronate Can you guess which song is in my head this morning?
@@aceofdatabase my god it’s so terrible.
@@retronate gonna watch it again. I have a complicated relationship with repetition repetition repetition.
I think I'd rather play ET on the Atari over this game.
lol yeah it’s not great. And is your username a Multiplicity reference??? A+
@@retronate Yeah, it's a reference to Multiplicity, it's stumped a few people. Most people get the reference that have actually brought it up.
There has to be a story of why this game is this bad. It feels like it was originally intended for an Atari and then upscaled or something like that.
@@ZeklorWGD it feels to me just like the classic LJN cash grab but perhaps there’s more to it than that. I don’t really know and if I’m being honest, I don’t care to find out. This game has soured me on ever getting near it again.
@@retronate that's fair
Wow, this looked horrid. Glad my local video store never put this on the shelf.
@@MikeHammersmithreselling it’s genuinely an awful experience playing it. Wears out its welcome in about 30 seconds
LJN = "Let's Just Not"
@@TokyoXtreme hahaha first I’ve heard that. In this case I should’ve listened…
It was always terrible and that awful music loop will drive anyone crazy. The gameplay itself is just an assortment of dumb minigames. There was no actual effort put into it by the development team.
Complete cash grab. So disappointing considering how much I love the movie franchise. Thankfully I will never endure this game again.
Worse game in history? You haven't played Ghostbusters and the 22 staircase Zuul building yet...
@@volbound1700 it’s true I haven’t yet. There could be another title that unseats this one. I’ve heard ghostbusters is awful
A pile of bodily matter😂😂😂😂
@@lylesmith4809 Marty is reduced to a pathetic loser in this game and it’s a travesty and no one has paid for their crimes
not haveing a patern is good that shows low lv ai lolol like how games are made now LOLOL
Low level is a kind way to put this one
This game really is a complete stinker and parents should have used it as a punishment. Between the annoying game play and that music that makes suicide seem like a good idea, this game is awful. I remember bringing it home excited to open it and start playing and then going to bed that night very angry for being fooled by Nintendo yet again. Curse this dreadful game and God bless anyone with enough poise, patience and stamina to play it to completion.
@@ethanwilliam9944 well put. Really a travesty to happen to one of my favorite movie franchises to boot
haha i dornt know wny you think this game was bad, it had the official nintendo seal of quality on it!
@@chucku1001 look if you want me to take a dump in a box and slap the word guarantee on it I’ll do it I’ve got spare time…but for your sake, for your daughters sake, why not consider buying a quality product from us?
Man, I didn't like this during your practice stream. If only I could hear just your thoughts and killed the music - I would have!
Incessant and awful. The music is just like me!
@@retronate Incandescent and awesome, you say? I don't have my glasses on...
@@Goddess.Carrie smooth
Yeah this is another "game" that feels like going to work lol
@@CeeJayThe13th never again. It’s done. It’s over. I’m moving on.
Good lord this looks dreadful.
Mazel tov on getting through it though, you've got some constitution to keep going.
It can't get worse then this, right?
I have a hard time thinking it can, but there are nearly 700 North American titles in the library. Odds say there is one worse than this out there. I shudder to think…
This game was so bad but i played it all the time lol and I actually beat it lol
Ugh it’s so terrible - but there is a drive to want to finish it to see if there is any redeeming quality.
Spoiler - there isn’t.
@@retronate when I got to the cafe for the first time I was super excited to see what was next. So that drove me to continue to play this terrible game.
@@Wair18 lol. Just enough of something different to torture yourself for 15 more levels!
@@retronate lol pretty much
@@retronate not gone lie though when I got to the Delorian stage I was super excited as a kid.
Worst NES game in history? Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde would like a word... This one is REALLY bad though like almost every LJN game
Admittedly haven’t played it but I like that there is another hat in the ring.
If you're looking for more bad games, try the aforementioned Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde, X-Men, Silver Surfer, Hydilide just to name a few. If you want a great challenging classic, do Blaster Master
@@airwolfpsuvery much looking forward to Blaster Master. I’m aware of how difficult silver surfer is. Hydlide I’ve never played. This is a nice high watermark for crappy games though.
The music loop makes this sooo bad. Bad game with good music, is way more playable imo
This game is godly awful! Not sure how this one made it past the game testers. The pure definition of ASS!
I’ll tell ya how….they saw a LOT of dollar signs on the other side of releasing whatever pile of trash had the name Back to the Future stamped on it. A damn shame.
I've never even bothered.
@@jared338 stop bragging
@@retronate Ok I'll watch... Sigh. You could at least done the same song Acapella at some point.
@@jared338 they gave 0 Fs about player experience in this one.
The worst game is Dragon’s Lair.
@@robertmartin7695 this may very well be. I remember hating that one
Nobody churned out so much crap like LJN
@@prpunk187 🤮 🤮
This is the worst walkthrough, just because it is one of the worst games out there. Complete cash grab.
It’s so blatant and frankly disappointing. This could’ve been great if anyone cared to be true to the movie.
