E.T. for atari 2600. i understand, videogaming was in it's infant stages then, and E.T. was a big movie, but cmon. you fall in a hole, trying to find pieces of the phone to call home, then you spend 3 hours trying to get out of the hole. screw horror films, THAT'S WHAT I CALL SUSPENSE.

Mon, November 15, 2004 - 2:02 AMI tried so many times to like this game. I too thought that perhaps I just wasn't good enough to figure this one out. I feel so much better now...
I think though that I might hate Indiana Jones more than E.T. simply because I played this one waaaaay more. I seem to remember falling down a hole in that one over and over again.

Re: this one tops the list
Mon, November 15, 2004 - 4:26 PMfor some reason, i have really fond memories of playing this as a child... i remember playing it over and over and not understanding why my older brother disliked the game so much. i think i got it for my 7th birthday or something. i dunno... of course, i havent played it since so... *shrug*

Re: this one tops the list
Mon, January 10, 2005 - 11:22 AMI was maybe 10 when I got ET for xmas. Of course it's a boring game from an adult standpoint, but keep in mind it WAS made for little tykes. Call me psycho, but I remember enjoying it at that age. -

Re: this one tops the list
Mon, January 10, 2005 - 3:52 PMI seem to remember even beating the game and sending ET home? Multiple times.
IMO, ET isn't much worse than Atari's Pac-man. -

Re: this one tops the list
Wed, January 12, 2005 - 4:58 PMIt's horrible.
Rumor has it that Todd Frye created a demo mock up of Pac-man on the 2600 to show the big wigs at Atari. It was only a proof of concept but they decided to ship it more or less as it was.
See the Atari 2600's Ms. Pac-man if you want to know how good it could have been.
