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!

From Chicago With Retro Love

Friend of Secret Identity Richard Holland donated a king's bounty of Atari 2600 goodness recently.  A console, controllers and a bunch of cool games (including the infamous 'E.T').  All that's missing is the power supply, which I will be picking up in the very near future.  I grew up on the 2600, and I've wanted to go back and get one for a while now, especially so I can show my kids how we did it in to the old days.  Many thanks to Richard for letting this baby go!  I can assure you it has found a good home over at Cartridgecade.

If anyone else out there has wayward retro gaming equipment that needs some love, let us know!

Which system do you like best!?
