       Look, we can't make the E.T. game fun...or even playable...but we can appreciate the manual artwork from 1982, one of >3 million manuals in our collection: https://archive.org/details/E.T._The_Extra-Terrestrial_1982_Atari/mode/2up

       @internetarchiveI *have* heard of romhacks to at least make it playable, never tried them myself though...

       @internetarchive I never understood the hate for this game. I loved it as a kid.

       @internetarchive I remember reading about this on @wikipedia as one of the worst video games of all time 🙂 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_video_games_notable_for_negative_reception#E.T._the_Extra-Terrestrial_(1982)

       @internetarchive I remember being a kid and having fun with it. It was like a bizarre adventure where you didn't quite know what was going on.

       @internetarchive yeah the game box artwork of those years was nothing like the actual game appearance on screen. its almost funny looking backnow its almost flipped around. game actual UX can be present supra-realistic 3D scenes and instead many games have reverted to comicbook or retro/pixellated styles in both ads and sometimes engines too. also funny

       @internetarchive It was definitely playable—I beat the game multiple times. Now, how fun it was… that’s a different story.

       @internetarchive Aww, come on!  It's not that bad!  The problem with ET is it's hard and you HAVE to read the manual for it to make any kind of sense...   and who did that?!
