E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial

E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial is a game for the Atari 2600. It is based on the film of the same name, and was designed by Howard Scott Warshaw. The objective of the game is to guide the E.T. through a cubic world to collect an interplanetary telephone that will allow him to contact his home planet. E.T. is cited as one of the worst games of all time and one of the biggest commercial failures in video game history, as well as contributing to the video game industry crash of 1983. (wikipedia.org)
