Back to the Future Part III

Back to the Future Part III is a DOS title structured as a compilation of four distinct arcade challenges. The narrative context involves Marty McFly and Doc Brown being stranded in 1885, where they must contend with the outlaw Mad Dog Tannen and find a method to return to their own time.

Gameplay varies significantly across its segments, drawing scenarios directly from the film. One sequence is a side-scrolling and top-down hybrid where the player rides a horse, evading obstacles and using a weapon. Another presents a straightforward target shooting exercise with additional hidden objectives.

Interaction in two other modes involves projectile combat. One pits the player against armed foes using thrown pies from an isometric viewpoint, creating a challenging scenario where enemies return fire. The final segment is a side-scrolling combat sequence set on a moving train, requiring the player to defeat opponents while also gathering items to increase the locomotive's speed.
