Nintendo Replayed: Back to the Future

Nintendo Replayed: Will my old Nintendo games hold up when I play them as an adult?

The Angry Video Game Nerd pretty well nailed what's awful about this game. The difference between me and him is he clearly had options. I had only ten games, so I played the shit out of every one of them. I actually played Back to the Future enough to get past the annoying cafe level, and guess what, it's followed by four more street levels.

I played so carefully through those levels just to get to the school. Then I died. In the school level, Marty has to survive the onslaught of Lorraine's love, in the form of a machine gun barrage of hearts. Take my word for it, it's more annoying than the cafe milkshakes.

I guess what I'm trying to say is, take the internet's word for it. DO NOT PLAY THIS GAME.
