'''Trixie:''' [[CanadaEh Province, Manitoba]]. Why?

---> '''Marty''': "No, [[ItMakesSenseInContext the suspected arsonist]]."

** In the Tannen Crime Family Timeline, despite Biff likely having a rather different upbringing due to his father not being a jail and still being the head of the mob, George still laid him out in the school parking lot at the Enchantment Under the Sea dance.

* IronicEcho: The phrase "It's a fact. Look it up." appears 3 times in the game. Twice from Edna, [[spoiler:and once from Citizen Brown.]]

* AscendedExtra: Einstein, Doc's dog. Initially only appearing at the start of the first film to demonstrate the [=DeLorean=], in a few no-consequential scenes in the middle of the second film, and again briefly at the end of the third film, Einstein travels back in time with Marty and plays a role in Episodes 1 to 3. He also gets a rivalry with Edna Strickland.

* AscendedExtra: Einstein, Doc's dog. Initially only appearing at the start of the first film to demonstrate the [=DeLorean=], Einstein travels back in time with Marty and plays a role in Episodes 1 to 3. He also gets a rivalry with Edna Strickland.

** In Episode 3, Marty's brother, David, is said to be working for a newspaper in a big city and his sister, Linda, is said to be in a women's boarding house. Marc [=McClure=] played Marty's brother in the movies, and also played Jimmy Olsen in ''Film/SupermanTheMovie''. Wendie Jo Sperber co-starred in ''Series/BosomBuddies'', set in a woman-only hotel. As an added bonus, both actors played these roles ''before'' the first movie came out.
** Young Emmett says his flying car idea will make traffic jams a thing of the past, which is the same thing [[Film/WhoFramedRogerRabbit Judge Doom]] - another character played by Christopher Lloyd in a film directed by Creator/RobertZemeckis - said about his freeway idea.
** It turns out Trixie Trotter [[spoiler:is Canadian and Marty's grandmother. Michael J. Fox is Canadian]].

* InSpiteOfANail: Despite Marty’s personality and upbringing being very different in the Citizen Brown timeline, he still managed to set fire to the living room rug.

** Also, Kid Tannen is basically just Biff with a mustache and zoot suit.

** Donnely a.k.a. Cueball is far more considerate than the rest. He takes Marty's advice in giving the soup more flavor, for one thing, and was given redemption and given a job at the Expo after [[spoiler:testifying against Kid]].

* ActorAllusion: In Episode 3, Marty's brother, David, is said to be working for a newspaper in a big city and his sister, Linda, is said to be in a women's boarding house. Marc [=McClure=] played Marty's brother in the movies, and also played Jimmy Olsen in ''Film/SupermanTheMovie''. Wendie Jo Sperber co-starred in ''Series/BosomBuddies'', set in an woman-only hotel. As an added bonus, both actors played these roles ''before'' the first movie came out.

* WhatHappenedToTheMouse: In episode 5, what happened to the French diver after Doc stole his outfit? Presumably he was hidden somewhere in his booth, because it'd be kind of hard for Doc to drag an unconscious body through a crowded expo hall without drawing attention.

* AbortedArc: The final episode ended "ToBeContinued". As of now, there's no sign of a sequel and there likely never will be given Telltale’s shut down.

** Early in Episode 4, if Marty asks his father to override the security systems, George responds that this isn't a science fiction movie. He's right; it's a computer game ''based'' on a science fiction movie.

* LikeParentLikeChild: [[spoiler: Judge Brown eventually comes to appreciate his son’s love for science, because it reminds him of his ambition to come to America from Germany. He even takes him to see ''Frankenstein'' when all is said and done]].

** The [[DreamingOfThingsToCome prologue dream]] features both Doc doing a "disrupted timeline fade-out", features the notebook full of time travel theory notes (and that all-important Flux Capacitor blueprint sketch), and talking about a "minor miscalibration in the time circuits". All three become plot coupons/events in the course of the five episodes.

''Back to the Future: The Game'' is a 2010 Creator/TelltaleGames episodic PointAndClick game series based on the ''Franchise/BackToTheFuture'' franchise that serves as an AlternateContinuity follow-up to the film trilogy. Notably, ''The Game'' involves the return of several key players from the films, including [=writer/creator=] Bob Gale as a story consultant, Creator/ChristopherLloyd as Doc Brown, and Claudia Wells as Jennifer Parker, marking her first reprisal of the role since the original film. Due to the health of Creator/MichaelJFox and the immense time commitment required for the role of Marty, voice actor [=A.J. LoCascio=] took over the role, although Fox shows up as a middle-aged William [=McFly=] and three variations of Marty in the final episode. The first episode, of a total five, was released on PC and Mac in December 2010 to solid reviews, and subsequent episodes were equally well received. It was later released for the UsefulNotes/NintendoWii and UsefulNotes/PlayStation3 containing all episodes, and received an UpdatedRerelease in the form of the 30th Anniversary Edition for the UsefulNotes/Xbox360, UsefulNotes/XboxOne, and UsefulNotes/PlayStation4, which saw Creator/ThomasFWilson reprising the role of Biff Tannen after being unable to participate for the original release.

Not to be confused with the UsefulNotes/NintendoEntertainmentSystem [[VideoGame/BackToTheFuture1989 game]] nor with Marty and Doc Brown's appearance in ''VideoGame/LEGODimensions''.

* AscendedExtra: Einstein, Doc's dog. Initially only appearing at the start of the first film to demonstrate the [=DeLorean=], Einstein travels back in time with Marty and plays a role in Parts 1 to 3. He also gets a rivalry with Edna Strickland.

* LegitimateBusinessmensSocialClub: "Speakeasy?? You're mistaken, officer! This is [[ImplausibleDeniability an ice cream parlor]]." Using the panic button in front of a cop didn't help either.

** Marty McFly is voiced by [=A.J. LoCascio=] at age 17 and Creator/MichaelJFox at middle age.

** After Marty's interactions with teenage Emmett in Episode 1 causes a slight change in his timeline where he now had the audacity to perform public experiments and prematurely pursues his rocket car plan which troubles Doc initially, but shrugs it off since despite this change, he'll eventually doubt his idea of using rockets and go watch ''Film/{{Frankenstein}}'' where the iconic lightning scene will give him an idea, scrapping the rocket plan and use an electricity-based mode of propulsion for his car. [[spoiler:This gets thrown out horrifically when Emmett takes Edna on a date to see it, but they opt to go watch something else instead and create the Citizen Hill Valley in the future. After going back in time again, Marty goads Emmett into taking control of his own life, which gave him the inspiration to create the electric flying car without needing to watch Frankenstein.]]

* DarkestHour: [[spoiler:In episode 5, when Citizen Brown gets run over and is despondent that Edna Brown is a despotic busybody at the core of her being, Marty gets to see him die ''and'' fade out of existence. It starts to pick back up from the low note once Young Emmet comes out of the expo hall in a cloud of smoke from his exhibit's spectacular failure sporting a more classic Einsteinian hairstyle. He starts prattling off in mad scientist rambling, and we get a sense that things are going to be okay. After the "don't read it until" scene happens, Good Ol' ([[CloseEnoughTimeline for the most part]]) Doc comes back in time, now fully aware of who "<Insert The Pop Culture Fake Identity You Chose>" really was/is, showing that everything ''is'' okay. [[WhamLine Until Edna happens again.]] But at least Marty has "his" Doc with him again to set things straight!]]
