As a movie franchise, seminal 80s classic Back To The Future lends itself exceptionally well to today’s episodic gaming model. The possibility of time-themed adventures are endless – literally – and the property is still well-loved by a generation of gamers who grew up with Marty, Doc and Biff. Not to mention a whole new slew of fans who’ve since discovered these timeless (no pun intended) event movies.
So it was almost a no-brainer when it was announced that Tell Tale Games were bringing Back To The Future to the gaming arena. Five episodes in total are planned: ‘It’s About Time’, set for release this month; ‘Get Tannen!’, due in February; ‘Citizen Brown’ will launch in March; with ‘Double Visions’ the following month before the grand finale, ‘Out of Time’, sometime after.
Christopher Lloyd lends his voice, though Marty’s dialogue is actually provided by AJ LoCascio. Check out the debut trailer below; it really does sound like Michael J. Fox. Good job AJ.
The game will be released on PC, Mac, iPad and PS3. We have no idea what happened to the Xbox 360 version. Maybe the Libyans got to it.

Yes, I took the name from the trailer before it morphed into the real name. It’s a bit of a joke for Telltale as people often mistake it.

Weird to have no 360 version!

looks pretty cool, would have been nice to see some gameplay though, considering it’s supposed to be coming out this month, well episode one anyway, let’s hope they don’t share valve’s definition of episodic.
it’s a shame michael j fox couldn’t do it, was it other commitments or just his health that prevented him from taking the part?
but the guy they got to do marty’s voice, well it’s uncanny how much like a young fox he sounds like, i swear if i didn’t know, i’d think it was actually fox.
the video they put out about the voice talent in the game had already dispelled any fears about the part of marty.
if the gameplay is good enough this could be a must buy.

Man, this is heavy.
Love the voice acting, but Marty should have his eyes more closed. He only looks like marty when he says “…And I happen to know…”
