This game just doesn't come CLOSE to doing the movie justice. Lol, what a strange piece of shit. Also lol @ 5:49 - Even though Lea Thompson is sexy as hell, that shit still ain't right.
I got as far as the school. The game seem like it was easy sometimes and harder the next time you played it when you got to the same level you died on
One of these days I will be strapped down to a chair and I will say to my arch villian, do you expect me to talk, and his reply was, no mr. bond, I expect you to listen to the music for BTTF NES fora duration of at least 2 hours
Another game based on a movie series that should have a new game made. Throw in various alternate timelines, and the game would at least be interesting.
1:59 Don't know if anyone's pointed this out to you before, but I have one slight correction: those aren't Marty's parents with him in the photo, they're his older siblings.
I never played this game back in the day. It looks like it has an interesting design, with the timer instead of hit points and the rhythm-based minigames. But of course that design also appears to be executed pretty poorly. Too bad!
@Doommaster1994 There was no way I could tell that that was the Huey Lewis song from the game soundtrack. It just sounded too warbly to get any kind of melody.
the last lvl is werid because you have to avoid lighting to get to lighting wtf did they not se the second movie when the delorean is not moveing but is sent back to 1885 i mean the shit man
LJN Sucks. Thank God The company Broke Up In The 1990's. Hey Aqualung You Should Try Dr. Jekyll And Mr. Hyde. I Played It And Dragons Lair. Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde Is Way Worse. XD
All anybody needed to do to make a passable Back to the Future game was create a straightforward platformer with a reasonable amount of puzzle solving. Seems like the most obvious thing in the world, but as you say, the rainbow of death was on this franchise and there it ended.
Unfortunately, I have tried the sequel. I have never been able to keep the game on for more than 5 minutes before shutting it off in disgust. It will be a lot fun trying to walkthrough that one haha.
No way! If you played through Dragon's Lair on the NES then YOU CAN play through Back to the Future 2 &3. I know it is a pitiful game but I don't think anything is worse than Dragon's Lair.
@AqualungGameReviews CornshaqGaming did a walkthough of the game and it took him over 2 hours to do just part 2. Good luck if you have the patience to actually walkthrough it.
Thank god LJN isn't around nowadays! They're like the corporations right now, shitting the bed while they fucking go to the bank after molesting some of the best movie titles into piles of dinosaur shit!
There's been about three versions of BTTF 1 on computers, this one, a Japanese one on the MSX, which has fuck all to do with the movie and a bizarre one from the UK.
Oh, there's also one based on the ride for the gamecube.
another excellent review kenny. now i like the movie. but you're right about how they tweaked it a tad. but it's not look anyone could tell the difference 18 years ago.
Kenny, you have once again amazed me with your ability to play through horrible games and maintain your sanity. I can think of no man who can do this. I have never seen anyone get past the soda shop. Bravo!
It's been ages since I last seen the instruction manual to this game, but I assume that change was due to either legal reasons or done at the creative liberty of the game's designers.
Dude, you just got yourself a 24 hour auto-play feature on my channel. This review must be seen by people who think those reviews that AVGN and IG did can hold a candle to the job you did going over this game.
Hands down my favorite review you have done thus far. Good job.
And how the hell could IG and AVGN not mention the "kill all" move? That is a pretty huge thing for them to not mention in this game.
I just...wow. Everytime you do a review, I'm surprised by at least something. For one that you went through the whole game without A) ripping off of others, or B) changing your mind. For another that you can seemingly so easily review a game that's been done before (multiple times, even, like this one) without, again, ripping off of anyone else. I don't know how you do it, but keep doing what you do, sir. Unlike this game's repeating streets, you bring something new to the table everytime.
I know that LJN made this travesty but you would think that even they would be wise enough to use the Back to the Future theme during at least some of the stages...
"Guess that makes you a mudda fucka" LOL That made literally LOL. Another great review. I don't blame you for skipping the 15+ street scenes. SOS over and over again.
LOL Nah, this guy actually plays the games AND completes them. He doesn't sit there and play a couple of levels and dream up as much filthy language as he possibly can for laughs. In other words: Aqualung > AVGN. That's right I said it. :D
for sure if you really love old games, this guy is where its at. I like AVGN as well, but this guy is a real gamer. I like his eccentric taste in games he plays through.
Aqualung is a fucking beast, he conquers some hard games and doesn't lose his mind doing it. You rule man, keep it up, tired of the same cookie cutter whiny reviews, you're actually intelligent and funny at the same time. Rare to find someone that ain't copying AVGN(though you do a lot of the same games, the reviews are totally different). Plus you like kickass music.
I really like your reviews. Your reviews are great because even when you play a terrible game, you at least give it a respectable review. In AVGN his reviews of the same games generally do not even show more than one or two levels.
I thought the picture was supposed to represent you and your two siblings. Not your parents, though there is the level at the end with your parents dancing and all.
