BACK TO THE FUTURE

Our time machine's flux capacitor has broken down, and we are no longer able to get the DeLorean up to 88 miles per hour and return to our present in 2024. To make a new one, we need to acquire some parts that can only be found in different time periods, otherwise we won't be able to return to our present in 2024. Visit the different eras and pass the tests to collect all the parts. But be careful, if you falter during the search, the temporary doors might close, making it more and more difficult for you to return.

The fuel will be topped up by finding the missing parts.
