Let me put it to you like this:

For some reason I watched that entire video. The ending was so worth it. Or not.

I bought Back to the Future Part III for Sega Genesis in 1991. This game is absolutely unplayable. You're Doc Brown riding a horse trying to catch up to a runaway stagecoach. You have to dodge obstacles that fly at you faster than the controls respond. The only way to beat this game is to memorize the pattern of obstacles and execute all the jumps and ducks before the obstacles appear on screen. It's pure memorization. If you manage to memorize all the obstacles and make it to the end of the game, you don't even see Doc Brown saving Clara from the stagecoach. There's just some on screen text that says "you saved her".

After buying this game I learned a hard lesson about video games based on movies. I can honestly say I've never bought another video game based on a movie since 1991.

Never played Goldeneye I guess? Or any of the numerous Star Wars games?

I've beaten this game. Its a bad game, but its not as bad as others I've played. The 4th level is by far the worst.

BIg Rigs over the Road racing is horrible....But i don't even consider it a game... Batman Forever was a horrific experience.

. Indiana Jone and the Fate of Atlantis / Last Crusade
. The Lion King
. Aladdin
. The Warriors
. The Thing
. Spiderman 2 (Was pretty decent)
. From Russia with love


There are plenty of decent to well above average movie licensed games.
