Back to the Future Part II & III vs Futurama

Back to the Future Part II & III is a 1990 NES platformer that loosely follows the plots of the second and third Back to the Future films. Players guide Marty McFly through 2015, 1955, and 1885, solving puzzles and retrieving misplaced items while trying to fix timeline disruptions. The game is known for its short length and lack of a save feature, which contributed to its mixed reception upon release.

Professor Farnsworth’s sale of the Planet Express ship to the villainous Mom triggers a universe‑wide crisis. Players must jump into the roles of Fry, Bender, Leela, and Dr. Zoidberg to travel through time and prevent the deal that would enslave humanity. Each character brings unique fighting skills and weaponry, and mastering their power‑ups is essential to defeat Mom’s death‑bot troopers and restore order to the galaxy.
