Top Ten Ways E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial on the Atari 2600 Sucks

I havent seen the movie but im planning to beacause it looks amazing but the video game on the atari 2600 system sucks so much
The Top Ten
1 It crashed the video game industry

Thanks for establishing this game is terrible mate. Needed clarification.

Pretty sure Pacman for the Atari actually crashed it, E.T just made it worse

Ugh this video game is just awful and terrible

2 Broken controls

From what I've experienced the controls aren't horrendously broken. Games like Terminator 2 on SNES has controls more broken that E.T. 2600.

The controls are actually okay. Even though they are clunky, they at least make sense after getting used to it.

The controls aren't not broken. The control isn't good either, but it's not broken.

Ugh so broken its sucks so much

3 Terrible graphics

This is the Atari 2600. Of corps the game doesn't look like the movie because the 2600 can do 4 bit graphics.

Uh they don't look like the movie

4 Endless glitches and lag

There may be glitches but I haven't experienced lag. Howard S. Wars haw only had 5 weeks to program this game.

Ugh its awful with the lag

5 You fall into random holes

That's the point of this game. You have to check the wells to obtain the phone pieces to complete a level.

6 Bad visuals

Ugh they look ugly and stupid backgrounds that look generic

7 Bad colors

E.T is green instead of brown what the heck

Should be higher

8 It's lame

Its very lame to play this video game

9 The level design is crappy
10 It's poorly done with sounds
The Contenders
11 It didn't match the movie
