    This wasn't the worst Atari game, but it was one of the ones that did NOTHING to really help Atari.

    I've played it, and even as a child, I managed to beat it. Took me several tries, but it was still manageable.

    I have to say I don't think this game completely deserved the bad reputation it got.

    Lord knows I've seen and played worse for the system.

    I don't think E.T. was a bad game, certainly not one of the greats, but it was an "OK game." It wasn't bad for the time constraints they had to work with, scuttlebutt has it that Atari gave their programmers limited time to develop the game. Still falling down those pits all the time was a big pain in the butt until you got the hang of it.

    Yeah, I bought the game about a year ago, I was so mad how sucky it was I wanted to shoot those who made this stupid piece of shit.

    It's said that this game single handedly triggered the video game crash of 1983.

    Yeah, this game is largely considered to be one of the worst video games ever made

    That game was so bad that Atari buried millions of unsold copies in the New Mexico desert.

    Wow I actually remember this comercial, I wonder if the dog on this comercial was the same one who starred in the movie. I even have this video game still (Yes I still have my Atari 2600 lol)
