For the young guys amongst us who don't know the urban legend about the Atari ET game:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Atari_video_game_burial

and http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/E.T._the_Extra-Terrestrial_(video_game)

Just finished reading the great book "Atari business is fun" and there the story is at least corrected a bit, but more important, the failure of the game was all to blame to some stupid business suit who agreed to pay an insane amount of money for the license and then "phoned home" to tell them to make the game in six weeks......

It also was NOT the "biggest commercial failure in the history of video gaming", in fact they sold millions of he game (OK, on the name only probably, and wether people actually like it or not is doubtful)  but there were and are many much larger failures in the history of video gaming.

I still think the game sucks, but you can't blame the programmer, after all he also created the best Atari 2600 game......Yar's Revenge.

Oh I knew....yes I knew BITD......I kept falling in those damn pits in the beginning (like anyone else) and it took 2,5 minutes to "hover" out of one (not really, but it felt like that).

I actually played it and completed it a couple of times. I never had the game, my brothers' ex did (then still his GF).

There are much worse games for sure. But it is not something I would dig up to play again these days ;)

However, we (my brother and I) actually liked Pac Man for the 2600 too. No it wasn't arcade accurate, but what did we know at the time.....we had PAC MAN AT HOME !!! WHO cared the ghosts were flickering like hell !!!  ;D ;D ;D If you want to see what the 2600 CAN do for a Pac game have a look at Ms.Pac Man for it, very nice port.

People forgot the thing had only 128 BYTES of RAM and only 4Kb games...
