I used to love ET as a kid, even though it was frustrating. When i recently got my 2600+, that was one of the 1st carts i picked up!

[@steveafulton]

It's an action-adventure game. In the ensuing years, that style of game has become more mainstream. It's frustrating. but not terrible.

[@MotownBatman]

I still have my copy of E.T. in my 7800 I Played the game Constantly and still do, my lil ladies play it too

[@IntoTheVerticalBlank]

It's a fine little game or the scope that could be accomplished in 5 weeks.

[@Jolt7800]

I am also shocked that there are not any other Atari developers who have penned a book.

[@IntoTheVerticalBlank]

Crazy eh?

[@SyntheToonz]

E.T. was not the worst game made. It is really pretty good. All it requires is reading the manual.

[@IntoTheVerticalBlank]

Same with Raiders of the Lost Ark. If you have the manual and 2 people it's one of the first and best co-op adventures on a console.

[@steveafulton]

It's not too bad yeah. Definitely not the worst, and Atari already had huge financial problems before it was released.
