Back to the Future: The Game | Episode 1: It's About Time - Part 1: Missing A Friend

I played this game recently for the first time in ages and it spoke to me in a way that felt maybe more personal than it ever did before. It felt like fate wanted me to play it at this moment in time. Feeling freshly inspired, I wanted to share my love of this game and franchise with the people I love - you guys!

Loved this game when it came out! I still have the disk case that I bought in 2011, back when computers had disk drives 🤣. Sad that it's hard to find and they de-listed it on Steam. This game hardly gets any recognition because it was overshadowed by Telltale's The Walking Dead, the very next year. It's a shame because they probably would've made a sequel if The Walking Dead game didn't do so well.

I have 4 physical copies of this game lol. I even have the collector's edition Telltale released. I found a listing on eBay for steam codes of this game a month ago and got it there for about $6.
I'm kind of happy with the ambiguous and tributary ending. It leaves questions I don't think could have been satisfactorily answered fully in a season 2. The original film's cliffhanger was made with no sequel planned - it was just going to end like that - so to have the game end in a similar way kind of feels full circle.
Plus it leaves room for the imagination, which sometimes yields better results.

@@punxsydawn I completely agree with you about the ending - it would be hard to make a sequel with it because it was just a 'joke' way to end off the game after tying up all the loose ends (Edna marrying Kid Tannen in prison, Doc going back in time to learn about grandma Sylvia's past). The gag with the future Marty's all from different timelines doesn't seem like it could be plausible enough to make another game, but merely to add a final laugh at the end.
