Quick play through of the game E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial running on an Atari 2600 emulator with the original sound (not some over dubbed music).
Developed by Howard Scott Warshaw and published by Atari in 1982.
People worry I might be sensitive about the ET debacle, but the fact is I’m always happy to discuss it. After all, it was the fastest game ever done, it was a million seller, and of the thousands of 2600 games, how many others are still a topic? Another thing I like to think about is having done ET (consistently rated among the worst games of all time) and Yars' Revenge (consistently rated as one of the best) I figure I have the unique distinction of having the greatest range of any game designer in history.
