As a child I used to play ET all the time and eventually started to be able to beat it rather quickly myself. I thought it was a good game as a child... I don't know if I'd consider it such a great game by todays standards though, but back then it was pretty good. I agree with this post.

SO why did people keep falling down holes? Now, I've played Superman 64 and can say with a clear conscience that it suck-diddily-ucked.

The great Pac-man debacle already had everyone pissed about the quality of games. E.T. 2600 was a scapegoat for the dying system. (No pun intended) There are no doubt, other smaller issues that people had against it. Personally, I played it as much as any other game at the time. Even though it wasn't an action game, it was better than alot of the other garbage.
