To promote the 25th Anniversary ofBack to the Futureand theirupcoming episodic adventure seriesbased on the films, Telltale Games has released their first Facebook game,Back to the Future: Blitz Through Time.It’s something of aBejeweledclone in which you quickly match up sets of three or more colored balls to increase the DeLorean’s speed and reach the all-important 88 mph to activate the time circuits and travel to a new region (and put more time on your clock).
The game itself isn’t fantastic, but it’s fun diversion for a few minutes. That said, after a few games and hearing the sound clips from the film a few times, I managed to become hyped up enough that I ran over to Amazon and picked up theBlu-Ray releaseof the film trilogy. Maybe there’s something to this social game marketing after all.
