ET The Game

18 May 2007

Back in the distant past (well the 80's) I had an Atari 2600. I loved my Atari 2600. I was lucky to have an Atari 2600. The problem was I didn't have any money to buy games. I remember convincing my Mum to let me buy Yars Revenge from her Kays catalogue at 20p a week for about 15 years. She said "Yes". It was rubbish. About the same time, I really REALLY wanted to buy ET the Game, but as I had already committed my pocket money to the repayments for Yars Revenge I couldn't and didn't get it. Looks like I escaped lightly as guardiane's YouTube movie points out. Looks like video games with movie tie-ins have always been a bit dodgy.
