"If you've heard about the upcoming Back to the Future video game and are anxious to take it for a spin then you're in luck. Included in this set is a small promo sheet that includes a unique code to download - for free - the first of five episodes of Telltale Games' Back to the Future game for PC or Mac."


I'm excited! :)

HOLY CARP.
HOLY MACKEREL.
HOLY SALMON.
HOLY, uhh, COD?

WOW! That's pretty awesome! Can't wait for release!
This blu-ray set WILL be released in the UK, right? If so, I guess the code applies there too.

Here's the link to the offer page listed in the leaflet, but it's not available from Telltale yet (Oh Crumbs page):
http://www.backtothefuturegame.com/offer

It blows my mind to see relatively unknown "Telltale Games" listed in the leaflet of a major film franchise re-release. Seriously, this is amazing.

Nice!

I really want it for 360 or PS3 so I can play it on my TV tho.

RingmasterJ5 10/14/2010 08:07 am

There is one problem that I can see. With no pre-order info before, it seems like it will have an early release for Trilogy owners only.

mcfly88 10/14/2010 08:46 am

Alan said there was big news scheduled for October. I wonder if this was going to be that news...

Trenchfoot 10/14/2010 09:18 am

YES!!!! :D

What does it say on the box? I can only read "Telltale Games, the leader on episodic gaming...".

...is proud to announce the release of an all-new 5 episode adventure series set in the Back to the Future universe. Get a complimentary first episode for PC and Mac* via the link below. www.backtothefuturegame.com/offer Coupon Code: (Unreadable)."

Hrmph. That's not the way it should have gone. The release of the first episode only 11 days away? How could that ever be? This all seems so incredibly rushed.

I'll wait for more information first.

This free episode of Back to the Future offer is completely separate from the availability of the game itself. The free episode offer will go into effect only once the game is available.

In response to RingmasterJ5, this does not signify an early release for trilogy owners at all. The offer is also not indicative of when the game's release date is at all.

Ah, that clears it up.

Vainamoinen 10/14/2010 10:16 am

Well, this does point to a 2010 release though. Having a code and still having to wait for MONTHS... that sounds a little odd.

Thanks for clearing this up, Alan. I was juuuust about to panic. :D

RAnthonyMahan 10/14/2010 11:43 am

That's really cool!

Too bad I don't have a Blu-Ray player/PS3. :(

EDIT: One more thing. Does this mean "Back to the Future: The Video Game" is the final title for the game?

Vainamoinen 10/14/2010 11:13 pm

I was worrying about that too. "Back to the Future - the Videogame" is, pardon my french, a very stupid title. :(

But who knows? This was a quickly established offer for the release of the blu-rays - much can still happen, including a proper subtitle and chapter titles. ;)

dentbuds 10/15/2010 12:46 pm

I think that its going to be called "Back to the Future: The Adventure Series." Anyone want to correct me? Anyone?

Alan Johnson 10/15/2010 03:40 pm

The game's title is Back to the Future: The Game. The insert was done a very long time ago!

We'll have a lot more information soon. I mean, this is the 25th Anniversary month after all!

Blooglspash 10/15/2010 04:01 pm

Is this on the DVD version, too?

Fine by me, as long as it's on Wii (sorry for the rhyme).

Trenchfoot 10/15/2010 05:00 pm

How about the Jurassic Park game? Does that one have a name yet?

Yeah, it's Showdown in Dinosaur Town.

No it's not. Just kidding.
