E.T. DESTINED TO BE A CLASSIC!

He said it himself when he talked how he doesn't know much about games. Anywhoways, awesome video! Makes me wish I was my age I am now and could relive the late 70's and all the 80's. Man, that would be awesome. And yes, ET is a classic. Whether people think it's a dud or not, is it not one of the most talked about Atari games ever? :D

I like ET, but I nearly spat lasagna all over the screen when he said "Sword Quest". Swordquest a classic...now that is funny. Obviously whoever won that talisman didn't think it was worth keeping, let alone his EarthWorld cartridge. *wonders if they were melted own at the same time*.

 

I have a stack of games I commonly play sitting near my game systems. It includes both HSC games (if I have the carts), and a dozen or so other titles.

E.T. has been in that stack for a while, next to Perfect Dark.

Okay Shadow... that's twice already today that I've had to look up a game you mentioned in your posts. What the heck are Perfect Dark (and from the 100 Greatest Games thread) and Meteoroid? Can't find them anywhere. :?

 

EDIT: Nevermind. Found them. ;)

That is the best and worst thing I've ever seen. Was that guy some sort of hunchback?

And the weird thing is he wasn't even eating lasagna. :)

I've got so many games that I've lost all discretion of what systems they're on. I might have even tried to play Bomberman on an Intellivision at one point, and posted the reults in the 7800 forum--I just don't know.

 

I really wish Meteoroid had been able to be released, though. It's good as it is (Suicide Mission), but if it were Asteroids-simple, that would have rocked.

That's okay, Shadow. You're not the only one that's mentioned a game in the threads that sent me to the archives to find it. Perfect Dark really threw me though, because I'm not at all familiar with the newer system's games. Meteoroid was actually a tough one too. It's not in any of the databases or even on Tempest's site, but then I remembered there was a proto on the Supercharger disc by that name. I had forgotten about it because I'm not particularly impressed with Starpath's dotted vector-like graphics on that game and I like Asteroid's much better.

 

NE146... Sorry I hijacked your thread. I was just a little dumbfounded when Shadow mentioned yet another game I wasn't familiar with. I did enjoy the E.T. video. I forward a lot of the crazy stuff you guys post in these threads to my friends and coworkers. We all need a good laugh now and then. Thanks! :)

it was a classic all right a CLASSIC FRUSTRATION. but for the small amount of time they gave warshaw it wasn't to bad. darn wish they gave more time that's why the 83 crash happened alot of games where bad because the where rushed. i remember nes games canceled if the set date was not met and where tested before going on sale to be sure it was good enough to sell. atari needed a american version of darn can't spell his name the super mario brothers and zelda creator.
