Country Road - 1986

Marty has literally crash landed back in "good old 1986", but things are not as he thought they would be. But that's the least of his worries at this moment. He needs to get down from the billboard. Select the DeLorean's horn and press it to honk it and get the Rocker Chick's attention down below.

Once Marty has the girl's attention he realizes it's his girlfriend Jennifer Parker. Select her to speak with her and lead the conversation to discover if she has anything useful to help him get down. She produces the tire iron that was left out there back in 1931 but won't give it up for free. Trade Kid Tannen's flask from the inventory for the tire iron. Marty uses the tire iron to break the DeLorean's window and reach the ground. As Marty reaches the ground and is left behind by Jennifer the DeLorean crashes to the ground and is destroyed. He needs to get in to Hill Valley though, so it's going to take a bit of work.

Activate the nearby squak box and find out that to get into town one must check in at the North Gate, which is at the complete opposite end of where Marty is now. Use the tire iron to detach the wobbling DeLorean wheel and locate the battery on the rear of the car; pick it up. Use the battery on the tire and turn it into a hover device to get Marty over the wall and into the city.   

Hill Valley Courthouse Square - 1986

After running into Jennifer's father, Officer Parker, head over to the buzzer next to the Courthouse gate. Speak to the woman over the buzzer then watch as biff steps out of a cart with Doc Brown. Go talk to Biff in the courtyard to get some more information. Follow all of the lines of questioning, namely about hsi sordid past, to get all the information you can out of him. This information comes in handy later in the game. Once Marty has spoken to Biff, Jennifer comes into the scene, go talk to her in the alley behind the Soup shop.

Head right to  the statue in the middle of the courtyard and select it. Doing so will cause Marty to spin the statue and garner a stack of demerits for Marty's inventory. Now head over to the Soup Stand and ask Leech for a sample of the soy-dogs. He'll leave them out and attract this reality's Einstein.

He went up the plank next to Jennifer but grab the spray paint can that she left next to her ammo box for later. Select the plank and Marty will climb over it. Click around on the items in the hiding space only to see Einstein escape around the corner. Use the spray can on the plank to cause the canine to leave tracks wherever he goes. Leave the alley, only to come right back as Einstein runs past.

Follow the blue tracks to where Einstein is hiding and offer him the soy-dog in return for his trust. He will follow Marty out to Courthouse Square.

After getting caught with Einstein and he's taken away, head back to the alley and use the guitar on Jennifer to show her you have it. Then goad her on about the SoupMo guy, Leech, to start a guitar battle against him.

From where Marty starts scissor kick (this causes Leech to knock over his own amp) then move towards Jennifer. Next, climb on the platform then do a hop to cause Leech to knock himself over into the nearby dumpster. This endears Jennifer to Marty and takes the scene to the inside of SoupMo. Once Marty starts kissing Jennifer select the window to get Edna's attention and get another demerit.

Now that Marty's racked up two demerits go back to the statue in Courthouse Square and select it to move the mobile in front of the camera that George monitors. Bump it twice to move it perfectly into position. Lorraine moves into the camera's blind spot so go talk to her; she will toss aside the flask in her hand. Grab the flask that's in the flowers next to the statue.

With the flask in hand, walk over to Officer Parker near the entrance to the Hill Valley Courthouse and he'll frisk Marty, only to find Lorraine's flask. Another demerit for young McFly.
