Bill & Ted's Excellent Video Game Adventure (USA)

**Bill & Ted's Excellent Video Game Adventure** is a side-scrolling platformer adventure game based on the popular movie. Players take on the role of either Bill S. Preston, Esq. or Ted "Theodore" Logan, on a quest to save their history presentation and the future of the world.

The core gameplay involves time-traveling via their iconic phone booth to various historical eras, from ancient Greece to the Wild West. Each level represents a different historical period, where players must locate and convince famous historical figures such as Socrates, Napoleon Bonaparte, Joan of Arc, and Billy the Kid to return with them to the present.

Levels are often maze-like in design, requiring players to explore, avoid, or contend with enemies and obstacles specific to each era. Players can pick up power-ups, such as music CDs to stun enemies, or other items to unlock paths. The ultimate goal is to collect all the necessary historical figures before time runs out, then return to the phone booth to travel to the next period or back to the school.

The game is known for its high difficulty, sometimes attributed to its somewhat stiff controls and complex level design. However, it retains the humor and unique spirit of the original film, offering a challenging time-traveling experience for fans.
