My dad got the E.T game when he was younger. It is seriously the hardest game you will ever play. I'm sorry Atari, but that game was a complete failure. The main reason I think everyone hated it was the ********** WELLS. You're in this well, you get a REESE PIECE (I'm serious here) and you have to kinda stretch E.T's neck out several times to get out. It was really hard, when I looked it up I found that you are given one nanosecond to let go or you fall all the way back down.
So many people didn't buy it that the 3 million cartridges couldn't even be sold for free and were destroyed in a landfill. Hopefully that description told you how bad that game was.
P.S From "The main reason-way back down" I am quoting my father.
