Telltale Games

Telltale is bringing Marty and Doc into 2013 – Back to the Future: The Game comes to iPhone on Thursday 7th March! The new universal app runs on iPhone 4 and up as well as iPad, and is in fact the FIRST Telltale app to support the 16:9 display on iPhone 5. 

The new universal base app (Episode 1) will be FREE at launch for a limited time only – grab it while you can! All 5 episodes in the season will be available at once, so there’s no need to wait for the next installment. The base app (Episode 1) features an in-game menu where you can purchase Episodes 2-5 individually, or save by getting the Episodes 2-5 multi-pack for the special introductory price of just $9.99. This new in-game menu means that instead of existing as separate apps on your device, all your BTTF goodness is contained in one handy package.

Please note the release of the new universal base app means the superseded Back to the Future: The Game Episodes 2-5 will no longer be available for direct download in the App Store. Ownership of these episodes cannot be transferred to the universal app, so if these episodes are not backed up to the iCloud or kept on the device, they can no longer be acquired without purchasing the Episodes 2-5 multi-pack. Ownership of Episode 1 will transfer to ownership of the new universal base app.

The envelope, please. It's time again for the annual Adventure Gamers Aggie Awards and a couple of Telltale's titles from last year have been awarded with prizes and mentions! 

First up, Back to the Future: The Game took home the year's Best Music award with Jared Emerson-Johnson's score earning praise from the Adventure Gamers staff for its evolution of the themes from Alan Silvestri's work on the classic film series. Sprinkling some Huey Lewis and the News into the game didn't hurt either.

Jurassic Park: The Game also claimed the award for Best Sound Effects! The team strove to recreate the atmosphere of watching the Jurassic Park films in the theater and having a rich soundscape of dinosaur growls and roars is a key part of that. 

Some of our games were also named runners-up in this year's Aggie Awards! They include: 

Runners Up - Editors' Choice

Best Writing - Comedy: Hector Badge of Carnage - Episodes 2 and 3

Best Character - Doc Brown (Back to the Future: The Game)
