Absolutely! Immediately thought of it when I came across poor Biff.
For anyone who happens to be unfamiliar with A Clockwork Orange, here's the IMDB intro: "In future Britain, charismatic delinquent Alex DeLarge is jailed and volunteers for an experimental aversion therapy developed by the government in an effort to solve society's crime problem... but not all goes to plan."
Hell, the last shot of the episode(the part in the monitor) is completely ripped out of that movie. ENDING SPOILERS..
When you ask about David and Linda, George says that David is working for the big city newspaper and Linda's still at the women's boarding house.
Marc McClure (David McFly) had a role in Superman as Jimmy Olson, a cub reporter/photographer at The Daily Planet.
Wendie Jo Sperber (Linda McFly) had a role in the show Bosom Buddies; a television show about two men who disguised themselves as women to live in the women-only Susan B. Anthony Hotel.
When you're at Marty's house on episode 3, there's a sound clip coming from the monitors at one point where you can here someone talking to Edna, who interrupts her, saying "please call me Mrs. Citizen Brown. It's just - I worked so hard to get that title."
This is a word for word copy of Senator Barbara Boxer's little outburst when a general called her "ma'm" instead of Senator.
More of an outright shout out than a reference, but whatever:
I thought this might be a Star Wars reference, but none of the characters say this or an equivalent before the trash compactor sequence, so I don't know. I could just be drawing comparisons to generic lines that simply aren't backed up by anything at this point:
I don't know that quote but with this game I'd say pretty much anything's intentional... similarly unrelated to BttF: When Marty looks at the BB guns on the shelves (after taking out Biff), he says "Marty, you'll shoot your eyes out." Clearly a reference to "A Christmas Story" if you ask me.
Yeah also at his house, Marty hits the intercom and says "Everything's perfectly all right now. We're fine. We're all fine here now, thank you. How are you?" Which of course is a Han Solo quote from Star Wars.
I know they, (once again) used another line from Star Wars. The 2nd time you use the Squak Box next to the statue in the Town Square, Marty will say, "Uh, yeah, we're fine, we're all fine now, here, now, thank you. How are you?" That is the same line Han Solo said in the Prison Room intercom when they freed the princess.
Kinda late to the thread, but apparently Carl Sagan was a HUGE fan of Back to the Future, and he said it was pretty close to his own theories about time travel.

Han Solo says, "I got a bad feeling about this," right before the walls start closing in.
I'm guessing the X:11 control mode on Biff's watch is a reference to the X window system, a client/server model and network protocol where the X server provides input/output to client programs that may be located on remote machines. Which would mean that Edna is a gigantic computer nerd.
And when you're talking to Jennifer about guitar stuff, Marty says: "Leech might think he's got chops, but I invented rock n' roll." Totally true, given the events of the first movie.
Did anyone catch all these? I know there was a thread about this for episode 3. But I'll start one here.
When Marty is trying to escape in disguise in the beginning he asks Jennifer how he looks, and she replies "A little short for a storm trooper, but it'll do" Nice Star Wars reference

Not sure if it was in the other episodes, but in 1931, there is a poster named SHARK. A semi-hint to Jaws perhaps?

Or perhaps a reference to BTTF 2 future scene where the cinema is showing Shark (some ridiculously high number) aka the scene with the big holographic shark.

When looking at that volcano exhibit Marty does mention a Tannensaurus, I believe thats a reference to an episode of BTTF the animated series where one of the T-Rexes looked like Biff.

And hungrier.
When was that?
A bottle of Banang is seen briefly when Marty jumps into the decycling bin and falls into the trash container.
"Hey McFly, my little girl's selling peanut brittle for the team. It's five bucks a box, I'm putting you down for a case. Okay?"
*George starts shaking his head, then defeated:* "...Okay..."
"Terrific, I'll go get it. See honey, I told you we'd only have to go to one house."

Very clever reference.
I loved the intercom Star Wars reference, too.
Citizen Kane clap, done by Jenifer, in the beginning of the game when you're in the billboard.
Biff doing the "FFFFUUUUUUUUUUUUUU--" thing, complete with the face.

Did anyone else notice this, and do you think this was an intentional little joke by the developers or just a coincidence?

Marty says some thing about him and doc flying by dinosaurs.
It is a reference to the BTTF ride.

it is showing jaws 19
The shark STILL looks fake.
Yeah that was the best.
