atarigamer Posted November 11, 2001 Author Share Posted November 11, 2001 I am trying to buy as many NEW E.T. carts as I can. So if anyone has any they want to sell to me, email me. I am going to open one every Christmas . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Night Phantom Posted November 11, 2001 Share Posted November 11, 2001 quote: Originally posted by King Atari: One thing I'll say about the game, I like it. It's pretty good for 80's nostalgia, as was the movie (look close and you can see an Atari in the living room, and the brother is later heard talking about "Space Invaders". Maybe that was a deal Atari and Spielberg struck). One of the shirts Mike (the older brother) wears is a screenshot of Space Invaders (apparently the Taito coin-op, not an Atari version).

atarigamer Posted November 12, 2001 Author Share Posted November 12, 2001 So the phone and all the other stuff you have to get (in the game). Isn't some of the stuff in the holes? Or is that just something I don't need. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Isn't some of the stuff in the holes? Or is that just something I don't need. The three items you use to assemble the “phone” are in the wells. (If you retrieve a part and it gets stolen by the federal agent, it'll reappear in a well.) You can save time figuring out which wells contain the parts by pressing the joystick button when the power zone indicator is a question mark: if one of the wells on screen contains a phone part, the well will emanate a golden flash.

StanJr Posted November 12, 2001 Share Posted November 12, 2001 Elliot may also end up with a piece of the phone (especially if you lose a piece to the FBI). If you cannot seem to locate a piece in the wells, you better believe that little is hoarding the piece in his house. You will need to "call Elliot" and juice him up with some sweet candy bribes in order for him to fork over the missing phone chunk. I think it takes all 9 pieces that you can carry to get the little to come clean with the goods. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nukey Shay Posted November 12, 2001 Share Posted November 12, 2001 Longest in this forum...though Dade's "AtariMon" thread from the old board might have been a contender. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
atarigamer Posted November 12, 2001 Author Share Posted November 12, 2001 And how many replies did it have? Well I guess people just like E.T. . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lemmi Posted November 12, 2001 Share Posted November 12, 2001 1983 (April) Atari closes its El Paso manufacturing plant. Fourteen trailer trucks filled with unsold games are dumped in an Alamorgordo, New Mexico landfill and buried in concrete. Atari claims the games were defective. got this piece from here as this thread is to long for me to read all over again , i dont know if the 14 trailer trucks full of unsold games was mentioned http://atarifun.com/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
liveinabin Posted November 12, 2001 Share Posted November 12, 2001 this thread is one long convoy!! (this here's rubber duck and I'm about to pull the hammer down etc....) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Genki Posted November 12, 2001 Share Posted November 12, 2001 For a supposedly worthless 2600 game, it sure has gotten more attention than anything else. Think we can keep this thread going long enough for someone to actually go and visit the landfill and dig up those lost carts?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
liveinabin Posted November 12, 2001 Share Posted November 12, 2001 Maybe when this thread is done, we could print the whole thing out and bury it in a landfill somewhere for future generations to discover Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
King Atari Posted November 12, 2001 Share Posted November 12, 2001 I think we should keep the thread going whether it has anything to do with the game or not. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
atarigamer Posted November 13, 2001 Author Share Posted November 13, 2001 I agree with King Atari, lets keep the thread going . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

liquid_sky Posted November 13, 2001 Share Posted November 13, 2001 E.T.... why didnt they make a 2nd et game or a line of et games, to try to undo the bad of the first one? They could have had a sky bike race game, a hack of strawberry shortcake dressup could be ET dress up.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nukey Shay Posted November 13, 2001 Share Posted November 13, 2001 LOL. Yeah, hey...it happened in the film! "In reality...the alien was real and the kids were robots. Real 10 year-olds would have beaten the alien to death with rocks." -Dave Barry [ 11-12-2001: Message edited by: Nukey Shay ] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lemmi Posted November 13, 2001 Share Posted November 13, 2001 New title for the next E.T. movie "E.T. comes back for a visit" Then PS2 can make a new game and put the 2600 version hidden inside the game Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StanJr Posted November 13, 2001 Share Posted November 13, 2001 Yeah, imagine a full blown ET game on one of the modern systems with all the frills, the ship landing, the search for the phone, dodging the FBI and Scientists, riding the bike with the brat, dress-up with Drew Barrymore, maybe even a Halloween level to collect Reeses Pieces, the glowing finger, etc. You could switch between being ET and roaming around, and being Elliot trying to save the alien from the heinous American government! You could even add the original 2600 game in as a mini-game you can play at Elliot's house. This would be cool. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moycon Posted November 13, 2001 Share Posted November 13, 2001 As I stated earlier they are making new ET games!!! Like at least 3 for the Gameboy Advanced and One for PS2 I believe!!! So Stan you may get your wish... I did a search tho and couldnt find any info or screenshots of the actual games. I remember one was called E.T.: The return to the green planet!!
