Don’t let your sleeves dangle. Don’t stand up too fast.

I only managed to get 10.
Guess I don’t know my retro games that well.

18 of 18. Sorry. I guess that means I have less of a life then you?

10 first time through, perfect on second (second try so it’s meaningless).

Worst game ever, eh? Hm… ET?

I didn’t think E.T. was bad, just boring.

It basically killed the Atari, and they lost millions on it because nobody bought it.
Try to find me another bad game that managed to kill a system.

Even destructoid.com is down on the E.T.
ALSO: E.T. pretty much *did* kill Atari (well, the original Atari) … and some thought it was all just an urban legend.

Ha! He must have been reading this blog.

Hehe, the guy at destructiod called GT “cheap”
He was talking about the price but still. “They’re cheap”

Got ‘em all on the first try. I was expecting some really obscure stuff. So which one you miss, X?

ET… I guessed Asteroids. IN MY DEFENSE (!), I knew that there was no way those sounds were from any version of Asteroids I’d ever played, but they didn’t seem quite right for ET either. And I hadn’t noticed the textual hints at that point in the challenge… and, and, and… I suck.
Nice work, Zach (and abellante).

When I was seven, I thought ET was a GOOD GAME. My family didn’t have much money, so we got two, maybe 3 Atari games a year unless there was a fire sale on the products of a fly-by-night incompetent like Games By Apollo (okay, so Final Approach wasn’t that bad, but the rest of their output was laughable.) So just getting a game that we’d HEARD of was a treat, and I played it obsessively for weeks. We even got the first single-game strategy guide I’d ever seen at the time. So I knew that sound entirely too well.
