I played this terrible game. This comment at the bottom of the article lets me know this guy has played it as well.
If anyone falls into the excavated pit, just remember to extend your neck really far and you can float right out. |

I don't recall much about it other than getting out of pits. |

Raiders of the Lost Ark was messed up in a good way. That one was messed up in a Someone Had a Bad Trip While Programming way. |

Raiders of the Lost Ark was almost as bad.
Almost.

Thanks for the 80s trip, man.
My thumb hurts for some reason. |

I played it as a kid also. I didn't remember much so I found a ROM of it last year. Holy shit is it horrible. You randomly fall into the pit constantly. The whole game doesn't make any sense.

Rumor is that Atari spent so much time rubbing their hands together, laughing manically at the money they anticipated making, that they never bothered to , ya know, MAKE THE GAME.
So one dude had to rush it out, by himself, in two weeks time for the holiday season. |

Why in the fuck did they trash all that stuff in Alamagordo NM? It's town of nothing in the middle of nowhere. If Holloman Airforce didn't exist neither would Alamagordo.

E.T: The game that crashed the industry.
EA should remake it.

oddly, I remember playing this POS game....was it even possible to beat the damn thing? I remember trying to get all of the parts so he could phone home, but no one I recall ever beat the thing.
I also recall the Pacman version for 2600 sucked...badly. Conveniently, I have a pacman arcade to play it correctly.

It was confusing as hell, but if you played it enough you could get the general gist of what they wanted you to do. IIRC the ending was just as dumb as the game itself. Usually you get some kind of "good job!" or victory scene or something. Pretty sure the game just... ended. |

Just a few of the Atari things I still have from the '80s.

For whatever reason, my uncle gave my grandmother and Atari and a tray full of PROMs w/ games on them and a little card with a socket that plugged into the cartridge slot.

I live in El Paso so it's not too far to go check it out BUT we've got a good old fashioned southwest sandstorm going on right now and I'd rather not go out and get sand in my eyes.

Shockingly, the ET game for the Atari 800 computer is GOOD. It's got all neighborhood and forest areas with agents zipping around, and a warmer/colder sound as you get near a piece of ET's communicator, till you finally see it. Once you pick up any piece, all agents with a sightline of you go into fast pursuit, and you have to bring each piece back to the house. You can also hide in storm drains. Once you get all the pieces, you need to race ET through the neighborhoods, hills and forest to the landing site in a short countdown before the spaceship lands. Some decent designers must have done it, especially for 1982.
I guess they couldn't adapt it to the 2600. 
The whole map: Surprisingly large for the era.
