To celebrate the fact that October 21, 2015 is Marty and Doc's destination date in Back to the Future II, we're taking a look at our favorite video game time travelers. These character don't need DeLoreans to tear through the fabric of time and space; they use an array of powers, technology, and other phenomena to jump between time periods. Read on to see where your favorites rank!

10. Abraham Lincoln
The Conduit 2
At the end of this first-person shooter for the Wii, Abraham Lincoln and other historical figures come through a portal wearing space-marine armor. We may never know why this happens, because that knowledge requires that a living person plays (and remembers) The Conduit 2.

9. Garland
Final Fantasy
The first boss you fight in an RPG is usually a pushover. Though players trounce Garland early on, a time-travel loop ensures that he survives and eventually becomes the final boss – the god Chaos. Who says entry-level bosses don’t have career advancement opportunities?

8. Hoagie
Day of the Tentacle
The chance to go back in time to witness history-changing events would overwhelm and amaze most people. Hoagie, however, keeps his cool and remains generally unimpressed as he works with America’s founding fathers to prevent an evil tentacle from taking over the world.

7. Sissel
Ghost Trick: Phantom Detective
Compared to the other entries on this list, Sissel’s time-manipulation power isn’t amazing. He only jumps four minutes into the past, but he still saves lives and pieces together the mysteries. Bonus: He would also rank high on a list of Top 10 Ghosts Who Possess Stuff.

6. Commander Repeatski
Super Time Force
No era is safe from the meddling of Commander Repeatski. The dual-eyepatched maniac dispatches the Super Time Force to save the dinosaurs from extinction, steal the Holy Grail, and more. The goal is noble, but correcting the mistakes of the past is even harder than it looks.
Up next: A clever wizard displaced in time and Nintendo's career timer traveler...
