Back to the Future facebook game

Has anyone else notice that if you view the tutuorial in the back to the future facebook game you can see more concept art!

When it talks about high scores it quickly scrolls by a concept art mugshot for George, Biff, and a character named "Kid Tannen" who is dressed up in a mobster suit.

Could this be a spoiler for the game or an easter egg? Can't wait!

I've got mine pre ordered already!

Me and my wife played through Puzzle Agent in one night and we loved it! :)

    All I have to say is that it got me to break my solemn vow to NEVER use a Facebook game application.

    *shakes fist*

    So addictive though. I'm a sucker for those kinds of puzzlers. >=

    Nice find!!!!
    I have been playing that game like crazy but never noticed it.

    Here I took a screenshot.

    Maybe spoilers!!!!!

    EDIT: Same here. I also promised myself to never use an app. But it's great. You get to hear the theme loop epicly. Never gets dull...lol. And there are some of the recorded lines in it.
    AJ sounds exactly like Marty. Those lines further prove it.

    Since we'll supposedly be travelling to the 30s, I'm going to take a guess that Kid Tannen is a gangster who's supposed to be Biff's father.

    George looks HORRIBLE.

    Let's hope it's just because of the size.

    Nice find though !

    I highly doubt they were able to get Crispin Glover's likeness rights. That's probably as close as they were able to get.

    Well, I think we could all tolerate a George "lookalike", especially with the cartoony graphics.

    But "not looking like Crispin" =/= Being hideous .

    Biff looks epic (and match Wilson's likeness too). George looks beyond horrible (the fact that he has nothing to do with Crispin is another matter).

    To be fair, Crispin Glover didn't even allow his likeness to be in Parts 2 or 3 of the BTTF trilogy, so it was unlikely the game would feature him properly.

    George was of virtually no importance in the sequels, anyway. I get the feeling we won't be seeing too much of him here.

    Any chance we can get a larger version of George, Biff, and Kid Tannen, by the way?

    Well... those portraits are really small, so... i can't say if George looks horrible or not

    Also in the game, after you get enough Jewels, you hit 88MPH. and travel to HilValley's ClockToer, one Spoiler I think I found is if you should see the CourtHouse with a Science Fair Banner across. look at the top right of the screen once you start the level.. it will say "Hill Valley 1931" so I guess we get to see Young Doc after all.

    No actually, they just didn't ask him. Thus the famous problem. His likeness was featured in the sequels. You can also SEE Crispin in the movie in a few scenes.

    And, it's obvious George had no importance (though he is kinda important in part 2 even if we don't really see him much) in the sequels only because they had trouble with the actor.

    He is crucial to BTTF 1 ... I would be really upset if he has no importance in the game.

    Especially if we get way too much Lorraine and Biff.

    I say George also looks pretty cool.

    I think kid Tannen is probably Biff family related.

    It would be interesting to see a new villain though.

    Yeah, would be cool if they changed the delorean with a toyota too...

    Seriously man ...

    Apart from Dark Marty from the future who is trying to prevent a disaster by doing * seemingly * bad things in the past, they can't invent a new villain ...

    Back to the Future cannot have a villain outside of the Tannen family. It would just be wrong.

    I do hope we see lots of new Tannens, though.

    :D Just thought it would be cool to see who has the highest score in here as of so far on the Facebook game :D

    My high score: 135,750 :-)

    The proof is in the pudding ... in this case, a unaltered image.

    Altered you say? OH NO! Don't alter the fabric of the space time continuum! :eek:

    Yeah that's cool! I scored 4,077,450 once. I thought you could earn acheivements and prizes but i can't figure out how.

    Around 900k IIRC. Well the highscores just got a reset, so I can't recall it that well.

    Trust me. There have even been people that got 50 million.
    I admit though these scores weren't achieved through conventional means.
    I am using an old computer and exploiting it's slowdowns. :cool:
    A.k.a. semi-cheating :D

    I do not hope however that every ep's problem becomes a Tannen. It would become repetitive and that is NOT what BttF is only about.

    I'm with Origami here. Variatio delectat. ;)

    Even Gale & Zemeckis felt the need to introduce a secondary villain - Needles - because the Tannens were just overdone. If they'll introduce one (1) Tannen that is new to us (Kid Tannen) in the entire game, and work with young Biff, middle-aged Biff and old Biff for the rest of the game, things will be fine.

    On a sidenote, if Telltale chose to not actually make Biff the villain, but indeed let '85 Biff do some good and help out a little in a crucial moment, would you necessarily consider that "not in the spirit of the BTTF movies"? ;)

    I thought it said 1936, if they made it in 1931 Doc would only be eleven when Marty visits and would be better if he met a Doc closer to his present age.

    Heh, just an ordinary match 3 kind of game... that's a bit disappointing :p

    Yeah but the games don't even have to be brinked with Tannens. We can have 1985 Tannen and max 3
    new alterations of Biff with Kid being one.

    Other problems could be the prevention of paradoxes. Or a less favourable future caused by mistakes in a previous ep that has to be prevented.

    The facebook game has changed, now it has a Heavy mode and a leveling up system, every time you level up an object of the game appears with a description, which i suppose is what marty says when you examine the object...
