ET? Wasn't that the game that caused the great Video game crash when atari was in its hey days!

When released it was so bad that parents returned it the same day, its also the one game that caused retailers not to accept video game returns. Yes at one point, retailers did accepts game returns if the game was really really bad lol. I remember cause i would go into stores and cry because some of the nes games were so bad.

Maybe they just felt bad for more me lol.

Apparently entire landfills were dug for the sole purpose of disposing of all the ET cartridges.

I had pretty much every Atari game, incuding ET. I think Seafox and Dolphin were my two favorite games, next to Atari Chess of course, lol.
