It's not particularly good in any real way. But this game will sadly live in infamy thanks to its story being memeified, instead of living in obscurity as a "meh" Atari game based on a movie.


Also, read the damn instructions before criticizing any games from this era. Half of the complaints people have are that they don't even know what they're supposed to do. These games simply didn't have the storage for on screen instructions- ET absolutely fails victim to this.
