Back to the Future is one of my absolute favourite movie series' of all time. Jurassic Park seems like a great idea too, though it's a little harder to understand how that one will work. This just seems perfect.

It'll be very interesting to see how they handle it, I know it was said it won't just be a retelling of the movie, but I assume it'll use the same characters but in a new situation. Perhaps like a TV series.

I was blown away when you guys announced Sam and Max, even more when you announced SBCG4AP. By the time you announced TOMI, I'm starting to think you guys are using illegal technology to read the minds of adventure game fans everywhere to see what we want.

And now, you guys are making Jurassic Park and Back To The Future...

GET OUT OF MY HEAD!!

I am quite worried on the graphic requirements these two games will demand. I can play Devil's Playhouse fine, though.

I agree wholeheartedly, I'd like a new story. I'd prefer the games to be set at a different time or location so that they don't clash with the continuity established in the movies, but I wouldn't mind it too much if Telltale changed the plot and established their own continuity.

I've seen Douglas Adams comment on the very same issue--he's the author of The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy, which exists in numerous forms of media. Every time he wrote a new version of the story he changed it, because he didn't feel like writing the same story again and again... as a result, the radio dramatizations, TV-series, novels, and video game all have differences in their plots. (They all start out the same, then diverge.) In fact I found the comic book version boring because it seemed like just a straight adaption of the novels (the comics weren't written by Adams, the author probably didn't dare to change anything)

The only problem with getting the actors even if its possible, while yeah we should get all those 3 people. But again thinking more and more about paycheck, i somehow dont think Telltale can afford to bring Michael J. Fox. Christoper L. and Thomas F. Willson aboard.

Somehow i just dont picture Telltale games making millions and millions of dollars :P but maybe they are cheap i dont know ^^ but it would be beyond amazing if those 3 people was doing voices.

OH MY GOD. BEST NEWS EVER.

This is actually amazing. The Back To The Future trilogy is easily the best trilogy ever made, tied with Star Wars of course! Pleaaaaaaaaase don't mess this up and I will love Telltale forever.

Would be awesome if the characters from the films did the voice acting. I'm sure they'd be up for it!

I don't actually mind if the game follows the storyline of the films, sure it's not original but that's why the BTTF films are so amazing, the storyline is AWESOME.

I thought he had died! He needs to come back more than Michael J Fox!
I think it would actually make a bit more sense to have a different main character to Marty, if they were doing a series of original adventures.

Is there something wrong with the Earth's gravitational field?

I wonder-- will they mainly use the characters from the movies, or will they feature characters from the cartoon? And as important as it would be to get the actors from the movie, I'd like to see Bob Gale, the co-writer of the movies, involved in some form.

Great Scott! Telltale just keep getting better. I've always wanted to play a proper Back to the Future game.

It looks like they are on the way to making old school adventure games totally amazing and hopefully popular again
