351.0. "Back To The Future" by AKOV13::SALLOWAY (You'll See Perpetual Change) Fri Nov 17 1989 16:23

    Back to the Future is a tracked adventure game, a la Mario Bros.  
    You have to work your way through the city, saving Marty McFly's family
    and avoiding the Biffs and other pitfalls.  Each level is a different
    game.  I rented this last night, and haven't yet made it to the cafe.
    The road game is like River Raid, you have to swerve and jump to avoid
    manholes and other traps.  You can get a bolwing ball or skateboard to
    defend yourself.  An interesting gimmick is a black and white picture
    that fades at the bottom of the screen.  When it disappears, so do you.
    
    This game had a lot of good play, but I'd like to get to the other
    levels before rating.  Does anybody know of a way to start where you
    left off?

351.1	It's driving me sane....	ENOVAX::JANDROW		`Sun Dec 24 1989 12:04`	10
	I purchased Back to the Future about a month ago and it has me pullingout my hair. I can battle my way to the cafe but when I get there i last about a minute and one of biff's buddies workes there way to the counter and that's the end of marty. The book has no mention of a way to start your game where you left off if anyone knows how please let me know (I'm loosing my hair fast enough). Over all it is a good game but I find it too difficult. Kevin
351.2	where's the skateboard please	ESDNI0::LEPIRE		`Wed Dec 27 1989 13:21`	10
	My daughter recieved BTTF for Xmas. Its got me crazy. Ive only seen the skateboard twice. Does anyone know if there is some combination that you need before the skateboard apears? Like so many clock in one life or not being knocked down in one life. I would apprecate any help at this point. I need the sleep. Thanks Steve dtn 237-2978

	I only rented it once, but I seem to remember that you need the bowling ball before the skateboard will appear. You'll be able to go real fast with the skateboard, and make it to the top. But I was annihilated in the soda shop just like the other noter. Let me knwo if you figure that one out. -Brian

	possible spoiler The bowling ball will appear after you get 6 clocks without falling down and then approximately 12 clocks later (again without falling down) the skateboard will appear. In Lou's cafe you must knock down at least 50 of the bullies before you can proceed onto the street that leads to the school. Jerry

	Does anyone have any other spoilers for this game? I have been playing this game for several months and can't get any of the bullies in the soda shop. It even takes forever to get to the soda shop. Any ideas????
