Back to the Future Part II & III Play Online 🪙 NES Games

Summary

Back to the Future Part II & III drops you into a side‑scrolling mash‑up of three eras – 1955, 1985 and 2015 – where you control Marty with classic jump‑and‑throw mechanics. Fuel for the DeLorean and junk‑food for extra lives are scattered throughout each timeline, and you’ll need to harvest enough to power the time‑machine before you can hop between years. Keys dropped by certain enemies unlock hidden Object Rooms; inside, a frantic 60‑second minigame challenges you to snatch stop‑watches while dodging cacti, quicksand and falling pellets to retrieve items Biff has scattered.

Puzzle rooms hide scrambled object names in drainage pipes or under breakable rocks (in Part III). Solving the word scramble and placing the correct item from your inventory reveals a piece of a larger picture, but a wrong choice costs the item until you earn it back. The game also rewards clever platforming – plant an acorn in 1955, return in 1985 or 2015 to find a grown tree, and reach previously inaccessible zones.

Critics noted the title feels like a Super Mario Bros. clone with tight controls and passable graphics, but its notorious length and lack of any password or save system made it a slog. Even with a cheat code to skip ahead, players reported spending six hours just mapping the maze‑like levels before the boredom set in.

Storyline

Back to the Future Part II & III on the NES follows the movies’ tangled time‑travel plot. Marty first jumps to 2015 to stop his future son from committing a crime, only to discover that old Biff has stolen the Gray’s Sports Almanac and given it to his younger self in 1955. Young Biff uses the almanac to win every bet, becoming the richest man by 1985 and hiding the stolen items behind locked doors in three different eras, which tears the space‑time continuum apart.

Marty’s mission is to travel to each of those periods, locate the misplaced objects and return them to their original spots, retrieve the almanac and destroy it. After restoring the timeline, a courier delivers a letter from Doc, written in 1875 (1885 in the film), warning that he is stranded in the Old West.

The final stage sends Marty back to 1885 to rescue Doc with a repaired DeLorean, while also finding ten more items to return before they can both jump back to 1985.
