Comment on E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial - Bad Game Hall of Fame

The only good side of E.T. is that it kick started the implosion of Atari which lead to me getting many games super cheap in the following years. There was a local store Zayre, which later changed the name to Ames, that constantly had Atari games on heavy sales. After the NES released, I picked up a bunch of games for $5 each. Of course, it was hard to enjoy them knowing the NES existed and I didn’t have one yet :)
