Back to the Future: The Game Arrives This Week for Mac OS X

Telltale Games’ Back to the Future: The Game is scheduled to debut on Mac OS X this Wednesday, December 22, the independent digital publisher announced today. Dubbed “It’s About Time!” the game is only the first taste of a five-part scheduled release.

According to the publisher, Back to the Future: The Game brings the iconic ‘Marty McFly’ and ‘Doc Brown’ back together in a completely new cinematic adventure, where the DeLorean Time Machine will travel across a total of five episodes.

The time is set six months after the events of the third film, when the DeLorean mysteriously returns to Hill Valley.

According to the game’s plot, ‘Marty’ must go back in time and recruit aid from a resistant teenage ‘Emmett Brown.’ Should he fail, the space-time continuum will be forever unraveled.

Christopher Lloyd (Doc) is voicing ‘Doc Brown’ for the full game series, Telltale Games said.

Bob Gale, the co-creator and co-writer of the landmark films, says, “Telltale's Back to the Future game is the first videogame in the space-time continuum to be truly worthy of being called ‘Back to the Future.’

“This new adventure of ‘Marty McFly’ and ‘Doc Brown’ is true to the spirit of the movies and I couldn't be happier about the great working relationship I've developed with the team at Telltale,” Gale adds.

“Via the game, the player gets to explore and experience more about the history of our characters and Hill Valley... along with some very interesting alternate time lines. It's a game for people who loved the movies, made by people who loved the movies,” he concludes.

“It’s a testament to the commitment and creative energy of our team that Telltale can deliver high-quality gaming experiences with such a timely schedule,” said Dan Connors, Telltale Games CEO. “And what a great way to celebrate the 25th Anniversary of this all time great franchise.”
