Boston_Bear Posted September 24, 2004 Share Posted September 24, 2004 Hi all! I realize that in many circles ET is considered the worst Atari game ever played but as a kid I er....actually quite liked it My search is this. Twice over the course of what must have been several hundred games the flower that could be found in one of the pits and bought back to life turned into an angel and flew up, up and away | - I am jesting not. Needless to say I scoured the rule book but found no mention of this event - can any of you expert gamers out there tell me what this represented. All help greatly appreciated.

+Random Terrain Posted September 24, 2004 Share Posted September 24, 2004 Finding the Yar on your own without knowing anything about it is one of the coolest things ever put into any video game. Too bad I never figured out how to do it again and never found Indiana Jones. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boston_Bear Posted September 24, 2004 Author Share Posted September 24, 2004 Thank you, thank you oh and thank you! I have spent years wondering whether I was truly going mad or not.

Han Posted September 24, 2004 Share Posted September 24, 2004 I found the Yar as well, as a kid. I tried and tried and tried to make it happen again. But I never got it to work again, drove me nuts. I started to believe it was a bug. I wish Internet were around back in those days Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Philflound Posted September 24, 2004 Share Posted September 24, 2004 It's funny how a child perceives things. I'm assuming you were young when you found this "angel". I guess it is easily mistaken since it does sort of float up to the sky. My friend had mentioned the Yar back in 1996 when I first met him and we talked about Atari. Personally with all the games I've played, I have never gotten it, but one day he showed me it. Phil Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boston_Bear Posted September 24, 2004 Author Share Posted September 24, 2004 You're right Phil. I must have been either 9 or 10 (I actually got the ET and 2600 console package). The odd thing is that that I found...err stumbled upon the angel....err Yar after just a few games and since I'd never heard of Yars Revenge or even seen it played an angel was the first thing that sprang to mind!

Philflound Posted September 24, 2004 Share Posted September 24, 2004 Maybe the angel found you. Phil Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moycon Posted September 24, 2004 Share Posted September 24, 2004 I've never made the "angel" appear. (And I played ET alot as a kid.) I do recall several times, while down in a pit I'd go to smell the flower and the flower would shoot straight up and off the screen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StanJr Posted September 24, 2004 Share Posted September 24, 2004 Man, I must be the ONLY person who played ET through and through as a kid. I found the Yar, the Indy, AND the JP intials ALL as a kid! Then again, I was a bit demented.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brad2600 Posted September 24, 2004 Share Posted September 24, 2004 *token drug joke* I was wondering, if I do some LSD, will this make it easier to see an Angel in E.T? *end of token drug joke* Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kenwood Posted September 24, 2004 Share Posted September 24, 2004 I found the Yar as well, as a kid. I tried and tried and tried to make it happen again. But I never got it to work again, drove me nuts. I started to believe it was a bug. I wish Internet were around back in those days Same here. I remember this too. Povlok was just making fun of me last week for liking ET. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sabeen557 Posted September 25, 2004 Share Posted September 25, 2004 I found yar once when i first played the game, finding it without knowing about it is pretty cool. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I found the Yar, the Indy, AND the JP intials ALL as a kid! Then again, I was a bit demented.... I found the initials too, but since they are so easy to get, it wasn't such a big deal, but the Yar was the greatest thing ever in any game on any system! Has anyone ever found anything that compares? I haven't. It would have been great to find Indiana Jones or at least find the Yar again.
