'''''{{PAGENAME}}''''' is a [[Sega Mega Drive]] action game developed by [[Probe Software]]. Based on the titular 1990 film ''[[wikipedia:Back to the Future Part III|Back to the Future Part III]]'', it was first published in the United States by [[Arena Entertainment]] in late 1991, and was later brought to Europe by [[Image Works]] the following October.
 +
 
 +
The game was received poorly due to its short length and brutal difficulty level, particularly that of its first stage. The game is most known today for both its exceptionally poor gameplay design and its visibly darkened palette - a result of [[Back to the Future Part III/Bugs#Palette error|a programming error]] which infamously shipped in the final product.
 +
 
 +
A [[Sega Master System]] version was developed alongside the original courtesy of [[Krisalis Software]], and released in March 1992.
 +
 
 +
==Story==
 +
The game follows the plot of the film on which it is based. Marty McFly learns that his friend Dr. Emmett "Doc" Brown, trapped in 1885, was killed by Buford "Mad Dog" Tannen. Marty travels back in time to 1885 to rescue Doc and return once again to 1985, but matters are complicated when Doc falls in love with Clara Clayton.
 +
 
 +
==Gameplay==
 +
The game consists of four levels, each employing a different style of gameplay. The player can attempt each as many times as desired if not initially successful. There is no password or save system.
 +

Doc fires his gun with {{A}} or {{1}}, which can be aimed with {{left}} or {{right}}. He can duck or pick up fallen objects for extra points with {{down}}. The horse jumps with {{B}} or {{2}}. If Doc is hit and subsequently falls off the horse three times, he begins again from the start.
 +
 
 +
The speed of play, combined with artistic choices and the constant barrage of threats makes this stage far more challenging than later levels. Obstacles (which are not always easy to distinguish from the background) quickly emerge from the right (save for bandits which chase Doc from the left and fire at him) and require quick reflexes to avoid (to the point where it becomes more of a memory test). Much of the game's negative press comes from this level alone.

The challenge is timed and ends when the clock goes from 12 o'clock to 12 o'clock again. Different targets are worth different amounts of points. The player must get a sufficiently high score in order to progress, otherwise the challenge repeats. A bonus round can be obtained by shooting the multi-colored ducks. This segment is missing from the Master System version of the game.

On the Mega Drive version, either {{A}}, {{B}}, or {{C}} can be used to throw a dish; on the Master System version, only {{1}} throws a dish. The challenge uses an isometric perspective, and Marty can only move along one axis with {{left}} and {{right}}. He can change the direction he is facing (and therefore aim) with {{up}} (directly in front of Marty), {{left}} (45 degrees left from the front), and {{right}} (45 degrees right from the front). Marty dies if he gets shot too many times.

On the Mega Drive version, Marty throws a dish (or punches enemies in close range) with {{A}} or {{C}} and jumps with {{B}}; on the Master System version, Marty throws a dish with {{1}} and jumps with {{2}}. Marty must find the colored switches (in the order shown in the top of the screen) and press them with {{down}}. He dies if he takes too much damage from enemies, hits a railway sign, falls between cars, or touches the steam from the engine. He respawns at certain checkpoints. If he runs out of time, the challenge can be retried from the very beginning.

{{stub}}'''''Back to the Future Part III''''', often simply known as '''''Back to the Future III''''', is a video game released for the [[Sega Mega Drive]] and [[Sega Master System]]. It is based on the movie with the same name.
 
  
−
An error in the Mega Drive version's palette storage results in the game appearing darker than it actually should be. On the Genesis, the bit order of palette colors is 0000BBB0GGG0RRR0, with RRR, GGG, and BBB being the red/green/blue components of the color and 0 being zero bits. This game, however, uses 00000BBB0GGG0RRR by mistake; the lowest bits of the components are ignored by the hardware, resulting in a color range (000, 001, 010, 011). Because smaller values are darker, the colors will thus appear darker.

Back to the Future Part III is a Sega Mega Drive action game developed by Probe Software. Based on the titular 1990 film Back to the Future Part III, it was first published in the United States by Arena Entertainment in late 1991, and was later brought to Europe by Image Works the following October.

The game was received poorly due to its short length and brutal difficulty level, particularly that of its first stage. The game is most known today for both its exceptionally poor gameplay design and its visibly darkened palette - a result of a programming error which infamously shipped in the final product.

A Sega Master System version was developed alongside the original courtesy of Krisalis Software, and released in March 1992.

Story

The game follows the plot of the film on which it is based. Marty McFly learns that his friend Dr. Emmett "Doc" Brown, trapped in 1885, was killed by Buford "Mad Dog" Tannen. Marty travels back in time to 1885 to rescue Doc and return once again to 1985, but matters are complicated when Doc falls in love with Clara Clayton.

Gameplay

The game consists of four levels, each employing a different style of gameplay. The player can attempt each as many times as desired if not initially successful. There is no password or save system.
