E.T.: The Extra-Terrestrial

Ahhhh, the Atari. So many good games. Dokney Kong, Space Invaders, Asteroids, Super Breakout, Nightdriver, so many epic games. But everything has bad side to it. Something dark. E.T. is the bad game on the Atari 2600. When you first look at the game, want to play it. Seeing the Atari logo, Eliot, E.T., the E.T. logo, the game just looks good. Put when you pop it into your Atari 2600, you are disappointed,on it being the bad game that it is. So at first your walking around as E.T., and you gotta admit, that's awesome. But get you get chased around bu this random guy, and he pulls you back to a random place, then when you run away, if your not careful, you fall into a pit! And some pits, you cannot get out of. There is no way possible. I spent hours trying to find out how to get outta the pit, but there is no way to do it. So, then, angry, you take it out, hoping to never play it again. As you can tell, this game is bad. A lot of people consider it to be the worst game ever, but I don't think it's THAT bad. I think the worst game ever is Superman on the Nintendo 64. But this game is cool to play once, but you will get very mad at this game. Just like I did. So don't destroy it like some do, keep it, it'll be a collectors item.And if your friends haven't heard of the game, you can trick them saying it's a GOOD game, and watch them get angry. VERY angry.

This game literally caused the entire video game industry to crash and was so bad that Atari buried every single copy

I've heard that this is the worst video game of all time. I think the reason why it has a lot of negative reception, is because gamers got frustrated very easily, because of the gameplay or something like that. But I agree on them. There's even a documentary about this game. But I'm gonna have to watch it sometime. Even though I'm usually not into documentaries. I would rather watch the movie than play this game.

It's honestly one of the worst Atari 2600 games, and it's really poorly gameplay, the visible and invisible holes everywhere, and the confusing directions, it's honestly and admittedly a broken down game.

OK. I know how many people think that E.T is Rubbish and the Worst Game ever but it is OK for Atari 2600 Standards. There is a plot and it was one of the first games to have an ending video. The holes are annoying and the game glitches and has its fault but it is OK. If you bought it when it came out in 1982 with the instructions then you would actually know what to do. Games on the Atari 2600 that are worse include Custers Revenge, The Kool Aid game, and Beat em and Eat Em just to name a Few. I know that it isn't Adventure or Pitfall but it is alright. I have finished this game a few times so it is finishable. Thats about it. It is OK for its time which was during the great video game depression.
