It never came out officially hehe then by Atari I have to finish watching this on my TV.

If that's the game I think it is, my grandparents had a copy of it and I could never figure out how to complete it because they didn't have the comic that was supposed to give you clues on what to do. I remember being trapped in a neverending cycle of minigames.

I tried to play Indiana Jones on the 2600 and with one controller and no manual! No wonder I couldn't figure it out. Videogames back in the day were ruff arf arf arf.

I'd say Golf is one of the worst 2600 games I've played, and yes I'd say Pac-Man is, despite being trash, way more functional than Golf is.
In Golf, it feels like the golf ball is actively fighting you the whole game. --- I am a super sandwich! http://www.last.fm/user/ToxicOrochi ... Copied to Clipboard!

Looks good Villian. Megamania was under rated. It was just a upright shooter too. I am not sure if it came after Galaxian. Probably.

I appreciate how fast ET was made and mostly functioned the one guy (Warshaw) tried to make it ambitious too. It's such a dumb game. I don't think ET is the worst just needlessly ambitious and rushed by the force of Atari. Also with the movie tie in the the videogame crash it certainly got a spotlight.

Activision had a couple gems on the system, most notably Megamania. On the other hand, I couldn't stand Pitfall.
Haunted House, Adventure, Yars' Revenge, and Astroblast also took up a fair share of my gaming time in the dark era before I got a NES. --- Never trust a snake. ... Copied to Clipboard!

ET was another game my grandparents had and I remember being able to beat it without much trouble, with the only frustration for me being that it was far too easy to immediately fall back into a hole after getting out of it. Having the manual and knowing what to do probably helped a little, though. If you ask me, it definitely wasn't the worst game on the system, at least. --- This Space For Rent ... Copied to Clipboard!

ET is bad, but its infamy is mostly due to the handling of development and the state of the US game industry at the time. There are 2600 games that are just as bad, but just being bad wasn't the game's only reason for being considered one of the worst.

"People had a lot of creativity and free time in 1982." I sadly no longer have the cassette tape and book.

Well for better or worse, I have all three editions on the Nintendo DS and Android compilation.
At any rate, the comics which came with each game (Was reprinted by Dynamite Entertainment last decade) were better reads than the games were in terms of playability. --- Amalgam Universe resident Born in 82. ... Copied to Clipboard!

Someone find the ghost of Tramiel and get that sweet sword for all the needs or nerds. Megamania kicks ass though are so many weirdly intriguing and awful games on the The Atari! I don't feel like pulling out my collection but I have some decent ones I can't remember.

I had that, and put it on the highest difficulty and the computer would never make a move.

ET is great yall just dont know how to read the manualMy position is that the game is godawful if you don't know the rules but merely lousy if you do. Besides the collision detection for the pits being way too finicky, I find games 1 and 2 damn near impossible because the FBI agent and scientist constantly show up seemingly at random and grabbing you with no warning when changing screens and interfering with calling/boarding the ship (should you actually make it that far somehow), whereas without those guys game 3 is too easy and boring and you could just go on forever with no challenge. --- Dolphins are people too! https://www.gamefaqs.com/boards/1404-cetacea-cove ...
