Wild Gunman

From Futurepedia, the Back to the Future Wiki

Marty discovers the Wild Gunman machine in the year 2015

Wild Gunman was the name of a light gun video game released by Nintendo. Originally released in 1974 using still photographs, Nintendo rereleased it into arcades in 1984 an updated format, replacing the photographs of the original with cartoony sprite graphics.

When Marty McFly enters Cafe 80's while in the year 2015, there is a arcade cabinet of Wild Gunman sitting in the corner. Marty proceeds to play the game in order to impress the kids watching him, but they complain, "You mean you have to use your hands? That's like a baby's toy!" suggesting that video games in 2015 are voice-controlled like the McFlys' television and videophone.

[edit] Behind the scenes

On the DVD commentary of Back to the Future Part II, Bob Gale stated that the arcade cabinet used in the movie was made specifically for the movie, as Nintendo had not released a dedicated Wild Gunman machine into arcades.
