Author: Ashley Chancellor June 9, 2024 Duration: 40:57
It’s finally time. Collateral Gaming is reviewing perhaps the most well-known video game cited as the worst of all time: 1982’s E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial on the Atari 2600! But is it really deserving of that moniker? We analyze the title’s infamous five-week development time; discuss the bankruptcy of Atari and subsequent video game crash of the 80s as a result of the game’s commercial failure (considered one of the biggest in video game history); look back at the now-confirmed true urban legend regarding unsold cartridges secretly buried in a New Mexico landfill; and of course, talk about Angry Video Game Nerd: The Movie, which was essentially an extended AVGN review of E.T. If you enjoy this episode, let us know, and stay tuned for our two-part review on The Great Ace Attorney Chronicles very soon!
