Rest in Piece sweet prince's. Really glad I still have this gem of a game and most of the other delisted Telltale game's, but it's sad to see that right's issues will be why new gamer's can't enjoy some classic like BTTF, Poker Night, and the Guardian's game to name a few.

I wouldn't turn this into a BOTF 4 movie, but this game has good cliffhangers and hooks. Just when you think you are done for the day, the game will just pull you right back. Personally i finished it in a couple of sittings over the weekend. If you are a fun of oldschool point and click adventures, then congrats, cause this game has puzzles. They aren't too easy, and aren't too hard. And if you ever happen to get stuck, you can always reveal tips (there are like ~3 layers of tips you can reveal, each one getting progressively more straight forward). As for the playtime, each episode will take around 3 hrs to finish (steam only records for playtime of the first episode). In fact, this is why i wouldn't turn it into a movie. It's too long for a movie, and some story elements are there just to fit into the puzzle gameplay design. But it still has its good moments. Ending is very bittersweet for example.

I do not understand why this game was removed from the store (I got the game long before it happened). It is a good, fun and relatively easy adventure game. Graphics and animation are good - while today they might be considered almost low-poly minimalistic, but note the age! Hardware was different back then and the cartoonish style really plays well. Voice acting, very important here, is very good and fun, including the original actors from the movies. The story is a typical "Back to the Future" story, not aspiring to anything serious, just pure time paradox playground for a sci-fi comedy. And it works fine for what is it. The game is definitely aimed for those who watched the original movies and enjoyed them (those who did not, will probably not like the game either..), and would like to experience such a story by solving plot puzzles as Marty. Besides all that, it is an important part of adventure games legacy and it should definitely be brought back to the store (esp. that there seems to be no issues running it on current systems, on PC at least). If not here, maybe elsewhere (GOG?).
