In a blast from the past, and the future, Telltale’s Back to the Future: The Game will debut this Wednesday, December 22. The five-part season’s first episode “It’s About Time!” will be available for PC and Mac platforms. Fans can still get the critically acclaimed bonus Puzzle Agent game free with their pre-order from http://www.backtothefuturegame.com, and Telltale also donates $1 to the Michael J. Fox Parkinson’s Foundation with each purchase up through the launch. The series will debut on the PlayStation Network and iPad platforms in early 2011.

Back to the Future: The Game brings the iconic Marty McFly, Doc Brown and the DeLorean Time Machine together in a completely new cinematic adventure, which unfolds over five episodes. Six months after the events of the third film, the DeLorean Time Machine mysteriously returns to Hill Valley. Marty must go back in time and recruit aid from a resistant teenage Emmett Brown, or else the space-time continuum will be forever unraveled. Back to the Future: The Game features the likenesses of the original stars that made the characters of Marty McFly and Doc Brown legendary: Michael J. Fox and Christopher Lloyd. Lloyd is voicing Doc Brown for the full game series.

I did get a coupon for the first episode, for free, from TellTale Games, but I ultimately chose the full pre-order package from GamersGate as it was $3.00 cheaper and I purchase from them, quite often. Also, the coupon can't be used until they release the 2nd episode, which is in February. I've only purchased from TellTale and Steam, once each. Nothing wrong with either (well, Steam's DRM and manager can be a bit dicey and bulky, respectively), but I prefer GamersGate, unless one of the others has a sale price I can't pass up (I didn't mention GOG because they only have DRM free and don't generally have the newest games). Looking forward to playing this.
