    Personally this whole 2 Delorean thing.. sounds like STTNG, the explanation of 2 William T Rikers.. personally I dislike it. I wouldve went with the whole Doc came back had to clean up the original one since as you saw in BTTF 3 the Flux and Time circuit was still connected together.. any good Govt worker.. wouldve put that back together.

    Cause if the time machine duped.. so would the people.

    Doc gives answers to most of your questions if you do all of the dialogue options with him when you first meet him at the jail.

    You can really tell who the people are that explore every facet of the game and the people who rush through everything just to finish it.
    Okay, I was afraid I'd missed the explanation. I really enjoyed playing Episode 1 but had so many questions on my mind the whole time that it hurt my experience. I'll go back and play the whole thing again when the season is complete =) Thanks!

    No, you did miss it. As has been said by others.

    The DeLorean was duplicated by the gigawatt overload when the lightning struck the car in midair on November 12 1955. The gigawatt overload caused the flux capacitor to create a duplicate DeLorean. The first with Doc was sent 70 years in the past to 1885. The other, so far presumably empty(though this doesn't quite seem possible), was sent 70 years into the future to 2025. Doc found out about this during travels with his family, presumably in the future, went back and intercepted the second DeLorean before Griff Tannen could use it(which is always a possibility, Tannens have a knack for stealing Doc's stuff). He then at some point went to 1931, sort of as a nostalgia trip, and took Einstein with him. When he was accused of arson and imprisoned, Einstein took Edna Strickland's shoe, went back to the DeLorean, which was pre-programmed to travel back to find Marty if Doc didn't return to the car in a timely manner. It was set with a kind of autopilot, so it probably drove to the approximate location of Doc's lab in the dead of night and arrived at what was probably the most logical time for Marty to be at Doc's lab, and Doc also stated that he wanted Marty to enjoy a bit of time without time travel. Does that help? :)

    So sorry to annoy MusicallyInspired. I missed it and I'm sorry. What more do you want from me? I am a horrible person. Shame. Shame on me.

    Thank you, Shadowknight1 for your help. Perhaps I didn't click on every possible dialogue exchange, I really don't remember. My pesky little life outside of the game world kept me a little tied up. I love BTTF and if I rushed through anything it was out of excitement. Scold me like a puppy and I'll pee all over you.

    Yes, that helps a lot. Thank you =)

    I never said I was annoyed. Don't get the wrong idea :). I wasn't attacking you or anybody. I was merely pointing out a mildly amusing fact.

    Thank you, markeres, for not making a newbie like me feel unwelcome or afraid to ask further questions without dissecting the game in question.

    Thank you, and I respect that, but your reply to my question only seemed to be there to say I didn't click on everything. markeres redirected me already and did it pretty nicely. It was more of a "dude, Doc answers those questions at the jail" so I can go back and play that part again. I'm letting it go.

    I've been thinking about this a lot since I played the first episode.
    When I started the game and played the prologue I thought that was the answer for the reappearance of the Delorean.

    Lets do a little thought experiment of what could've been the game's storyline...


    What if the the first Time Experiment was a failure? What if in the original timeline (we never got to see) the Delorean didn't jump 1 minute into the future but 10 years.

    Somewhere along the line the Doc from the future send the car with Einstein back to the specific coordinates of the opening scene to avoid a paradox. The adventures of the original trilogy happen and reshape the timeline as we know it by the end of BTTF 3.

    That specific original Delorean would still appear 10 years later in the "altered" movie timeline although the Delorean was destroyed in 1985.

    In that altered movie timeline the Doc is gone though (fooling around the galaxy with his wife and the Timetrain) so its not sure if the car gets sent back to the opening coordinates.

    The series could've started with Doc coming back in the train to pickup Marty as he found out on his travels though time and space that the Space-Time Continuum itself is spinning out of control.

    That would turn the whole saga into a self fullfilling paradox like the Terminator series.

    Unfortunately, self-fulfilling paradoxes, also sometimes known as pre-destination loops, are not ones that Bob Gale and Robert Zemeckis were very fond of, so obviously the game wouldn't have that.

    Its a shame really. That story would've also cemented Docs argument of time-travel being inherently dangerous.
