E.T. is a must. Oh wait, you want games people DON'T hate. Heh. :-)
Hey...I liked ET (the crowd goes quite). It wasn't Defender II or
Pitfall, but it was ok if you new what you were tryng to do. I go back and
play it now and feel that what he was trying to do was ahead of it's time.
An adventure game where you explore an area and collect things. Other than
Adventure I can't thing of any games of that type on the 2600 and yet now
every other game is exactly this style. Resident Evil, Tomb Raider. Are
these games truly originators of this style or just descendants of Adventure
and ET. I feel it's the latter and further that ET deserves a little more
respect. It reminds me of that Annie movie from forever long ago. All the
kids on the playground trashed it because it was cool to make fun of it, but
it was actually a pretty entertaining movie. Seems we have ET in the same
position. It's the game that all the kids want to attack because that's
what they've always done, but I question whether it really deserves the
criticism.
What do you guys think?
