"Bravelord and the Demon Monstrux" is the sixth episode of the second season of Back to the Future: The Animated Series. It first aired on October 31, 1992.
Brief synopsis
Verne has become a video addict. His game of choice, or addiction, is called BraveLord and Monstrux. After neglecting his duties because of the video arcade game, Doc and Clara ground Verne to his room. Jules, with help from Marty, attempt to placate Verne by using a device that would transfer the game electronically to Verne's bedroom TV screen, thus enabling him to continue to play. Unfortunately, something goes haywire with the wiring and the characters of the game come to life, while Doc is transported into the game. BraveLord, a "He-man" muscle man, ends up in Verne's bedroom while the vile Demon Monstrux ends up at Biff's house. Verne, Jules, Marty and Clara must defeat the Demon Monstrux, get it and BraveLord back into the game and Doc back into reality.
