Hill Valley in 1885 serves as the setting for this action shooter where players control both Marty McFly and Doc Brown. You must jump, shoot, and duck past obstacles like runaway suitcases and crates to outrun Buford "Mad Dog" Tannen’s gang. The gameplay focuses on a frantic race to reach the 20th Century Express to return to the future.
