one thing that is often lost on modern audiences watching the Back to the Future series is that, in 1985, the DeLorean was well known for being a shitty car. The only reason the DMC DeLorean is remembered fondly today is because of BTTF; had the movie never happened, it would’ve been one of those fancy cars lost to time and remembered only by car nerds (trust me, there’s examples of this). Potentially the primary reason for choosing the DeLorean to be the time machine is because of how notoriously bad it was. We even see Marty question Doc’s choice to use a DeLorean, and at the climax of the first movie we see the car fail to start when Marty is lined up to drive towards the wire. The DeLorean was known for being overly heavy, clunky, prone to breaking down, and annoying to maintain.
Basically, what I’m saying is, if Back to the Future was made today, they’d use a Cybertruck.

So, unfortunately, the modern equivalent would be...

i had two UTDR dreams in a row and i think im being haunted by a alternate universe version of these games . anyways it was about a "sans battle fangame" but despite the name it literally had no battles and was not even 2d . it was like a 3d free roam horror game . the only thing i remember at all were the characters which looked like this . quite scary
