History VideoGame / BackToTheFuture1986

* AWinnerIsYou: Complete the game, and all you get is Doc walking to the Clock Tower[[note]][[NotDrawnToScale which is far smaller than it should be]][[/note]], a few seconds of the Delorean going off, leaving fiery residue on the road, a high score tally, and a "Congratulations!" message from the developer, in which he/she[[note]]Makoto is a unisex name[[/note]] says "[[BlindIdiotTranslation YOU HAVE A GREAT TECNIC]]".

''Back to the Future'' is a 1985-1986[[note]]sources disagree on the exact year, but most say 1986[[/note]] LicensedGame for UsefulNotes/{{MSX}} & UsefulNotes/PC88 computers, published by Creator/PonyCanyon & released [[NoExportForYou only in Japan]]. Like most early Japanese video games, it was made by a single person, one Makoto Ichinoseki.

Based off [[Film/BackToTheFuture the first film]] in the series, the game is a simple action game with only ten levels & primitive graphics. Playing as Marty, you must search buildings in each level to find George & Lorraine, and lead them to the Dance Hall.

* SurprisinglyGoodEnglish: Most of the English in the game; it's a tad stiff, but it works.

* BlindIdiotTranslation: Averted for the most part, as the English is fine, just a little stilted... until the ending screen, which reads "YOU HAVE A GREAT TECNIC" & "THANK YOU FORM PONYCA AND PROGRAMMER MAKOTO ICHINOSEKI".

* {{Irony}}: The game is based on a quintessentially American film, yet it was only released in Japan.

* ShoutOut: The singular background track is extraordinarily similar to fellow barely known, yet [[PortOverdosed widely ported]] arcade game VideoGame/CityConnection, which was also released on MSX.

* YouDontLookLikeYou: None of the characters look like their movie counterparts, with the sole exception of Doc. Rather amusingly, the bullies, who are presumably supposed to be Biff, look more like Griff from Film/BackToTheFuturePartII, which wasn't released until ''1989''.

* InNameOnly: The only things ''remotely'' connected to the film are taking George and Lorraine to an unspecified dance, the presence of a skateboard, and a brief cameo by Doc & the Delorean in the ending, and even ''that's'' stretching it.

* TimedMisson: Every level is timed. If you don't get to the Dance Hall in time, you lose a life.

* {{BFG}}: The huge rifles the bullies wield.

* EverythingTryingToKillYou: Standing in your way are bullies with machine guns, miniature airplanes/birds (?), ridiculously tiny cars, and ''the weather itself'' (yes, really).
