Back to the Future ep. 1 free to download

Great Scott! The folks over at Telltale Games have now made the first episode of the Back to the Future game series free to download for everyone.

After trying out the first episode you can order the remaining 4 for $22.49. All you need to do is register for a Telltale account, that’s it.

From the press release:

We know it’s April Fool’s Day and all, but this is for real. We’ve made the first episode of the continued adventures of Marty McFly and Doc Brown, Back to the Future: The Game – Episode 1: It’s About Time, totally free for all in a proverbial well…free-for-all!

The PC and Mac adventure game is based on the hit Robert Zemeckis trilogy. Bob Gale, the original screenwriter was brought on board for the story and Christopher Loyd (aka Doc Brown) lends his voice as the whacky professor.

Although Michael J. Fox’s real voice isn’t in the game, he did give permission to use his likeness and the developers managed to track down AJ Locascio; a life-long Back to the Future fan who sounds a hell of a lot like Fox.
