How do you save the game if you don't want to play it all at once?

BTW, I LOOOVE it so far. Thank you Telltale for making this game!

    Hit ESC and go to Save & Load. Then use the right arrow after the numbers to select a new save space. Then click save game. It's a bit hard to click on it, the hitbox seems to be a bit off.

    The Save&Load Menu is a bit of a mess.

    The first slot is the autosave point. Mark the 2nd slot and hit Save Game. You might have to try it several times before the game recognizes what you are trying to do.

    I'd like to transfer my save from PC to Mac. Is this possible? Where are the save files located in each OS?

    Thanks!

    (I started playing on PC after the Mac version wasn't working...)

    Is it compatible to transfer my saved files to another computer? So that I can install the game on another computer and resume it.

    0_english_chores.ttarch
    0_dlog.ttarch
    0_8.ttarch
    0_launcher.ttarch

    Are the above 4 files located in the Pack folder my saved game files?

    Your save games are cross compatible no matter what computer you install the game on (with the possible exception of a Mac).

    Those 4 files are not your save games. Your save games are in your My Documents->Telltale Games->Episode 1 folder along with your config settings file.

    Is there any way I can save the game progress?
    I already managed to get to getting Arthur's hat back,and I had to quit the game for some reason and I see now I have to start it all over again.
    Is there any keyboard shortcut like ALT-ENTER(windowed mode) to save the game?

    I need the save files after
    Marty have convinced young Doc to allow Edna and his friend come over to their mansion and to deliver "soup"

    Could anyone share them with me here?

    Thanks in advance :)

    Same issue as OP. Escape does nothing for me. No reaction.

    UPDATE: Check if you have a gamepad or joystick connected. I have Logitech Chillstream connected and I suspect Esc does nothing because of this. Pressing Start on gamepad brought up the menu all right. There you can save and quit

    On Win 7/Vista it's C:\Users\[username]\Documents\Telltale Games\Episode 1, where C is your system drive letter and [username] is the name of the account you're running the game from. On XP this will be C:\Documents and Settings\[username]\My Documents\Telltale Games\Episode 1

    I need it also.
    I dont have save button in the mainmenu so if I had one savegame maybe it would enable that feature also.

    Unfortunately I don't have save games from that point, but my question is why you need one for that point. How do you "lose" your game at any point?

    same here, could it be a win7 issue?

    don't think a save game from another user is a good idea, I personally don't wanna skip even a small portion of the game

    they gotta make those "quick save" n "quick load" using keyboard button...
  • KaizerKaizer
    edited December 2010

    "becoz there wasnt any SAVE MENU in the game"

    when i click ESC, i too only see

    Back to the Future
    the Game-->
    Resume Game
    New Game
    Help and Settings
    Quit Game

    That's wierd ... I didn't lose my data that way ... I accidently closed the game window while marty and doc were talking together ... So there was no time for the game to auto save

    There is a save/load button. Look a little harder.
  • kevin maskkevin mask
    edited December 2010
    so anyone has figured out what's behind the missing save & load option?
  • SethPDASethPDA
    edited December 2010

    Is this just a problem for mac-users or are you using Windows?
