Back to the Future Part III is an action title that's based on the 1990 movie of the same name.
+ Music is one of the redeeming features, and once you've beaten a stage you can continue from that point indefinitely.+ As the game only launched in PAL territories, the reduced 50Hz speed gives you more time to react in the horse riding level.
- However, it's still punishing due to logs that are dropped without warning, and heavy memorisation is required to succeed.
- Missing the Shooting Gallery from the Sega Genesis version (1991) and with only three stages the game's content is thin.
- Pie Throwing level is a shambles due to unintuitive controls and the isometric viewpoint affects launch angle calculations.
- The final Train level is hindered by oppressive checkpoints and the game often refuses to throw a dish towards enemies.
- Even if you do suffer through all three stages it's not worth the grind, as the ending sequence is lacklustre.
