Oh, guys! I have a new idea for a Back to the Future speedrun!! I think I can do a pacifist type run of this game/go for the LOWEST score!! :D All I have to do is not kill any enemies and collect as few clocks as possible. I won't have to worry about the fourth, and final, street section because the images in the picture won't fade out! See? At least the game designers kept a few things consistent. Marty's parents kiss during the dance minigame which means the family is back and the picture won't fade out. :D I'm not sure if I am allowed to take damage during this run seeing as how this is a speedrun and all. I will have to look into this "completion time vs. score" thing. You all want a Back to the Future that will kick the pants off any run that's been previously done on this game (counting mine), you all have got it! :D

I don't think this game will ever be suitable for TASing, you might want to try your luck at something else.

Yeah, that's true. I even felt myself losing it during the making of my submitted/rejected TAS in the last few stages. I like playing the game, just not TASing it. I think I will give up making TASes of this game (I still have a good feeling about the dual TAS of this and Ghostbusters). :)

Hi guys! I decided to remake my NES Back to the Future TAS speedrun! :D This time I only went for fastest time (no "high score" run or anything). I made it a lot more entertaining this time! I even figured out that I can lag the music by playing sound effects at certain frames (for some reason this was harder to do in the night time levels so I didn't bother doing it there). I made a lot more use of the bowling ball to make it more entertaining. Here is my speedrun!: http://dehacked.2y.net/microstorage.php/info/635054605/GlitchMan2-Back%20to%20the%20Future%20%28U%29.fm2

Thanks for encoding it, natt. The run looks great, GlitchMan! You actually made this game entertaining. Are you planning to submit it?

Hi. I'm 24. And what the fuck did I just watch. p.s I'd thumbs-up this if it was submitted. I was thoroughly entertained.
