Back to the Future 1989

Developed by Beam Software

  • Arcade, Action, Science fiction

Back to the Future is a Nintendo Entertainment System game developed by Beam Software and loosely modeled after the popular film of the same name. It was followed by a sequel game which covered the second and third films in the Back to the Future movie franchise. Marty McFly must make his way through various stages, ensuring that he does not change time too much in the process, so that he can return to his own time after making some significant changes to the past. Famous scenes are incorporated into the game, such as Marty repelling Biff Tannen's gang of bullies, and playing guitar at the dance when George and Lorraine have their first kiss.
