Telltale Games Has Gone Back to the Future!

While technically not a retro game, Telltale's new adventure game is based on one of the most beloved retro franchises of all time--"Back to the Future."  The developer behind "Sam &Max" and other great adventure games have created a five-episode adventure game that picks up after the events of the third movie.


The story involves Marty going back in time to retrieve Doc Brown after the DeLoran returns to the present with him.  Writer Bob Gale (who co-wrote the trilogy) helped work on the game, and Christopher Lloyd voiced Doc Brown himself!

You can grab the first episode of "Back to the Future" right now over at www.telltalegames.com/bttf.  In the meantime, check out the game's trailer below!

Use your Wiimote on your Computer and Droid

I was looking for a USB NES controller one day and a Facebook friend recommend I try and use my Wiimote as a controller while I waited to purchase a USB version. I did some Google searching and came across PieGlove. It's a simple program that allows you to use your built bluetooth or a dongled to control your Wiimote. It tooke me a few tries but I got it working. If you have trouble at first, try a different version. In Windows 7 64bit I had to use the older version, which was strange.

After successfully getting PieGlove to work, I had a fantastic idea. If someone made PieGlove, then certainly there must be an NES addict out there who made a driver for my Droid X. And I was right! After a quick search in the apps store, I found a WiiMote controller app (Wiimote controller by C.C.P. Crea@ions). I loaded it up and it worked perfectly with NEStoid (which is a GREAT emulator but the on screen controls can be annoying)
