* DevelopmentGag: Not a gag relating to the development of the game, but to ''Back to the Future Part III''. In Episode 1, Marty can find an old photograph of Marshall Strickland in Edna Strickland's home. Edna states that he had been shot and killed by Buford Tannen. Marty (who, of course, had been to 1885 when Strickland was alive and who was instrumental in Buford being sent to prison) states that he doesn't remember that occurrence. While there's an in-story reason for this (he wasn't there when it happened nor informed of the events), the joke is actually a meta-joke about how the scene depicting Strickland's death was cut from the film.

** Episode 1 references a gag from the aborted Script/NumberTwo script, wherein Marty is arrested, and chooses the alias "Marty [=DeLorean=]" to get Doc's attention through the newspapers. In the video game, however, it's the other way around: Doc is arrested, and chooses the alias "Carl Sagan" to get Marty's attention through the newspapers.
** In Episode 3, George has a box of peanut brittle on his desk by the monitors. This refers to a deleted scene in the original ''Back To the Future'' where George displays what a wimp he is by being bullied into buying tons of peanut brittle. The only remnant of this in the final film is a shot of him pouring some into a bowl.
