Description
Infamous videogame adaptation of Steven Spielberg's hit movie, programmed by Howard Scott Warshaw in just five weeks. Your mission is to help E.T. find the three pieces of his interplanetary telephone, call his ship, and guide him to the landing pad in time to be rescued. Do this before E.T.'s energy runs out, and you'll win the round and score points! E.T. transverses six sites on Planet Earth. Four of these are full of pitfalls--they are dotted with deep wells into which E.T. can fall. A fifth site shows Elliott's house, the Institute of Science, and the FBI building. Here, E.T. is taken by the scientist to be studied. The sixth site is a forest setting where E.T. first lands and where the ship will land to pick him up. A round ends when E.T. boards the spaceship. At the end of each round, all your bonus points are displayed.

    This is the absolute worst video game I have ever played. The graffics are horrid, even by Atari 2600 standards and gameplay/control is even worse. You definately need the instruction manual to play this game, without it you are lost. Heck, even WITH it you are lost. I played this game for a half an hour, and I managed to move E.T. about 5 steps to the left until I fell into a hole, then spent 27 minutes trying to get E.T. out of the hole (those of you that have played this before know EXACTLY what I am talking about). You can pick this game up very cheaply, that is the only upside to it. And of course if you collect Atari 2600 systems/games it is a must-have. But, if you are looking to buy the game to actually play it, do not waste your time. If you bought a lot of games and this game was included, and you have it already . .destroy the extra copies then throw them away. That is the only way this P.O.S. game will ever be worth anything, as a collectors item.
