After this, this game don't look so bad :P

You know, this game isn't nearly as bad as everyone says. It's just nonsensical, and poorly explained. E.T is actually rather ambitious for the Atari 2600, just poorly executed.

Still has a better plot than twilight

This game was rushed to make the 1982 Christmas deadline. As a result, many people felt robbed when they bought this game and learned that it didn't... since quite a few people like this game on this page, let's say it didn't, "meet their standards." So, many copies were returned, and eventually, many ended up buried in a New Mexico landfill. A confirmed urban legend.

Before you kow what to do, this game is boring. Now that I know, it will be boring because I got nothing else to discover. One of cool things about games is to discover things and this game is boring even while you are trying to know what to do.

For a game built in a few weeks for such a weak system (spec-wise), it's rather impressive.
