A Back to the Future adventure game? Featuring vital members of the original cast, and with full approval by the trilogy's screenwriter? Great Scott! While this Telltale series has been (say it with us now) ERASED FROM EXISTENCE, it nonetheless brought some welcome, albeit non-canon additions to the pristine, low-stakes world of the original films—in the short time it was allowed to exist. But is this particular Back to the Future adaptation a worthwhile adventure game? On this episode of Retronauts, join Bob Mackey and Nina Matsumoto as they discuss this delisted delight and think about putting some money on the Cubbies.

You need to give Louie's room / Podcast studio / Repurposed Bedroom a proper name - So, you can say "Coming at you LIVE from THE BIRDROOM" or "This Has Been a Production of African Gray Soundworks" or "Recorded at Squawk Box Studios" Yes, there's a pacific northwest Delorean owners club, so you don't see one Delorean at a an event, you see TEN. http://www.pndc.org/ The car itself is iconic, even outside the movie. Brushed stainless steel body means it doesn't rust so it looks as iconic as it did in 1981. As a car .... ¯\_(ツ)_/¯even new it was underpowered for its weight. It looks good parked. Without the movie it'd be a curiosity of automotive history.

Telltale is one of those studios like Quantic Dream that does really interesting things but whose reach often exceeds their grasp. I’d love for you to do a Telltale history episode; for many gamers their sudden demise and comeback is a mystery.

As someone who loves the concept of adventure games, but cannot understand nor play them, these episodes are the best!

"There was a puzzle here. It's gone now." Silent Hill reference? ;)

I’ve been looking forward to this ep for a while! I played this the year it came out because I was a huge BTTF fan and couldn’t miss it. Loved it at the time and look forward to revisiting it some day (I still have my hard copy!). Thanks for covering it for the pod!

Since it was mentioned I have to say that I absolutely loved that The Expanse game from 2023. My favorite game of the year easily.
