Back to the Future (for the C64)

Let it be known that I’m a sucker for video games based on film properties I enjoyed as a kid — so when I saw that Back to the Future for the C64 hadn’t been reviewed yet, I jumped at the chance. I do remember playing the NES version of this game released by LJN in the late 80s. I…
