--- Quote from: exonerator on December 01, 2014, 01:03:22 am ---No. It had flaws, but it was damned ambitious as an Atari game, and certainly more playable than the majority of Atari games... would you play Football on Atari? I don't think so. It's just a game you need the manual for, and it's safe to assume that people on the hate bandwagon in recent years have forgotten that not all Atari games are easy pick up and play games. --- End quote --- E.T. wasn't the best Atari game, but it certainly wasn't the absolute worst either. Sure the game was a pain in the butt and was definitely unforgiving, but I remember the relief I felt when I had beaten it when I was a kid. And ugh....did you have to mention Football? (...I think I just threw up in my mouth a little...lol!) If I wanted decent gridiron action, I turned to RealSports Football instead. ;) |

And there's also Ebay, which I've listed below a couple of links to auctions and sales for that manual: http://www.ebay.com/itm/Atari-2600-E-T-Extra-Terrestrial-Game-Program-Instructions-Manual-Only-/301419050933?pt=Video_Games_Games&hash=item462df9b7b5 (...bid right now is at $3.25...) http://www.ebay.com/itm/E-T-The-Extra-Terrestrial-Atari-2600-1982-Game-Instruction-Manual-/121503526218?pt=Video_Games_Games&hash=item1c4a2cad4a (...comes with game & manual for $10.25...) |

People who hop in for the first time might remain clueless on what to do. Having the manual actually helps explain how to play the game. |
