The Slime Lord Posted April 7, 2009 Report Share Posted April 7, 2009 Yeah, I know some of you all have heard of it before. It's considered one of the worst video games in history. And earlier today, I bought it at a retro game store for $1. It's a shame I don't have even have an Atari 2600, but whatever. So yeah, discuss...

Flame Dragon Posted April 7, 2009 Report Share Posted April 7, 2009 I love how this game is often called a cause for the video game crash. The crash happened because their were many crap game, ET was just one of many. (Granted it was one of the worse). The other main problem I remember seeing when I did a report on this was that their were a lot of different systems at this time and so buyers didn't know what to pick. If memory serves their was one or two more reason but I can't remember them off hand. Slime since you can't play it see if AVGN needs it. I want to see him do a ET vid. Also who has played ET?
