    I used to love the point and click...

    Indiana Jones and Day of the Tentacle.

    Might check this out.

      As Twigg pointed out, I was playing this to death today.

      I like the game a lot.
      You can tell Bob Gale and the game creators have a genuine love for the movie franchise.
      The kid or adult voicing Michael J. Fox's character is a dead ringer.

      At $19.99 the game is a good deal, especially when you get 5 episodes. On the iPad, you pay $6.99 for episode 1.

      I played this for more than three hours today ... something I rarely do these days.
      I kept wanting to play to see what would happen next. Very nice.

      It is not a thumb jockey game, but if you're a big time Back To The Future fan (which I am), you're gonna love this game.

        I played the demo last night but unfortunately it is very short. From the small amount I played it seemed pretty cool. I really didn't get to experience any interesting puzzles in the short demo though. I have never liked point-and-click before but I will probably end up getting this one.

          You've wasted money on much worse, Twigg.
          If you're a Back To The Future fan, you'll like or love this game.
          And $20 is hardly criminal for a game.
          Like I wrote in my post, it's obvious Bob Gale and the people who programmed this game love the franchise. I really respect that.

            I've played both Episodes 1 and 2 on PC. Episode 1 seemed longer, but that may have just been because I was getting used to everything.

            It's an enjoyable game. The Marty voice actor is really good, but the Doc one sucks (I'm kidding - they actually got Christopher Lloyd to do it).

            It's interesting how

              Watched some vids on youtube and Marty's voice is spot on. Doc sounds a lot older but oh well.

                Oh, I know. I just have so many games to play right now. I will probably wait until all five episodes are available and then download them.

                      Not necessarily. In Back to the Future 2, there is a future Tannen picking on Marty's son and getting him into trouble, then chasing after Marty on the hoverboards. It's the reason Doc brought them to the future in the first place, to keep Marty's son out of jail. That was already after Biff had become a wimp because of Marty's dad punching him. They never went 'Back to the Future' to show it having changed after Marty doesn't get into the wreck, but that particular part with Biff having a son wouldn't really change because of that.

                        True, but odd that he's never shown at all. We know that Needles isn't it (Douglas Needles)... just weird.

                          I think I get what you're saying. This is Biff's son Griff from Back to the Future 2. He is the bully for Marty's son. It would seem that Biff in the original timeline from the first movie was covering the bully angle for both Marty and his dad, then Griff is the bully for Marty's kid. I suppose with Biff not being the big dog anymore that's where Needles comes in to get Marty into trouble.

                            Since we're so off topic from the game, no need to spoil.

                            Griff is Biff's grandson, not his son. So, we're missing a Tannen generation.

                            According to wikipedia, Griff's last name is never confirmed. Biff could have a daughter, I suppose.

                                I checked the PS store last night thinking it would be there. I got excited when I saw separate BttF tab in the new releases section. I clicked on it and still just the demo and episode 1. Boo.
