->''"E.T. on Atari 2600. To begin with, its not a game you just pick up and play. Most games this generation were very simple. Shoot a bunch of aliens, climb to the top of the screen, stop missiles or chomp down all the pellets, but E.T. is an enigma. With all these random symbols appearing at the top of the screen and falling in holes all the time, it's no wonder why gamers did not understand how to play this game. '''You have to read the instruction manual'''. So, once you understand how to play the game...IT STILL FUCKING SUCKS!"''
