    It's like shooting yourself in the foot!

    By Anarki983 | Review Date: Jul 26, 2007 | 2600

    Based on the hit Speilburg flick back in the 80's, E.T. the extra terrestrial is a game known by many gamers. If you've never heard of E.T., you might not understand what I mean. E.T. is known by gamers due to how horrib... Read Full Review

    Its repetitively annoying and very frustrating

    By matureboy17 | Review Date: Jul 20, 2007 | 2600

    Hi there everyone, this is matureboy17, and I'm here to tell you all about my recent play on E.T. Atari 2600 seemed to rush its development though but i feel extremely sorry for this game they have created because it too... Read Full Review

    I can't say much more than this: this game is an example of rushing a programmer to sell these games before christmas.

    By Lancealot325 | Review Date: Jun 30, 2007 | 2600

    I just don't understand here. E.T., a movie that kids and parents enjoyed, gets turned into a game that is a nightmare. Literily, a nightmare. What in god's name were the guys who came up with this game thinking? Trying ... Read Full Review

    CRAP!!!

    By Odd_Job_99 | Review Date: Jun 18, 2007 | 2600

    ‘E.T. the Extraterrestrial’ sucked - big time. The game had no story, whatsoever. Ummmm…. What else was horrible about this game? Perhaps I should tell you. The graphics were horrible - the worst I’ve ever seen, they wer... Read Full Review

    Quite Possibly the worst game ever...

    By SpikedDeath | Review Date: Jun 11, 2007 | 2600

    E.T. is quite possibly the worst game ever. The concept is even bad - and every action you take makes you loose life points, and when they're all gone - then you loose (like in most games)... But E.T. has not motivation... Read Full Review

    A game that deserves its' status as the worst game of all time!

    By dodgersfan7800 | Review Date: May 29, 2007 | 2600

    Yes, it is as bad as its reputation. I like to refer to this as a "game in name only" because a game indicates fun, and nothing in this cartridge resembles anything fun. The graphics are bad (even for their t... Read Full Review

    A great collectors item that should serve as a warning to game developers for years to come.

    By flamingboard | Review Date: May 21, 2007 | 2600

    I got this game in a box of games that my parents had picked up for me for Christmas a long time ago. I've had this game for over 15 years and I still have yet to figure out how to play it. From what i can gather you're ... Read Full Review

    Worst game EVAR!

    By Lord_Foortwenti | Review Date: Apr 13, 2007 | 2600

    Heh, I remember getting this game for for my Atari (this was back when there was only one Atari, none of this 2600, 7200 business, only the one brownish Atari console that had a flat, ridged surface) and being so excited... Read Full Review

    I can only thnk of one game more crappy than this

    By chapnzaba | Review Date: Apr 04, 2007 | 2600

    This game does not deserve anything higher than a 1.2. i would've given it a one, the only reason i didn't was because there is one game worse than this. This game is smoldering pile of mess. There is a landfill with mil... Read Full Review
