Nice undies

THAT is sacrifice for the fans. Thanks for what you do for us.

You poor, poor man… for all the reasons shown in this film. I’d say “thank you” but it really doesn’t seem like enough. You are a true martyr… and still alive as a bonus!

Under sedation? Wow, man. That’s a little something I call dedication. And to review what called the worst video game ever is a bonus.

ET was a huge financial and sales failure for Atari, but it really wasn’t that bad of a game, at least in the context of other 2600 fare. I played it quite a bit as a kid. Better than the abysmal 2600 ports of Pacman and Donkey Kong.

Actually the developers put work on it… The problem is that the idea for the game started a few weeks before Christmas. And they wanted to make until then, but they didn’t had the time so that’s why this happened. Anyway, all your videos rock! And I hope that the movie review links will be fixed!

Here’s how you beat the game. First you set the game select to option 3 – THIS GETS RID OF THE AGENT AND THE SCIENTIST and makes life infinitely easier.

2. collect all the pieces of the radio using the question marks.
3. Find the crosshair glyph in the forest and remember where it is.
4. Find the weird mask glyph and raise your neck.
5. Get back to the crosshairs and then sit there and wait.

You’re done.

Do get out of the holes you hold down the float button, wait until you clear the hole, and then drop down.

This is basic.

You have no excuse for not being able to figure it out.

You either suck at games or were just jumping on the bandwagon for the sake of being edgy. E.T. is actually a very good game for the atari 2600.

Baane are you F*ING mad???
E.T. a good game? that game caused the video game crash of 83. If it weren’t for nintendo and sega the gaming industry would have been destroyed, and therefor we couldn’t play games cus no one makes them anymore, gaming would have been a forgotten thing.

It didn’t cause the crash. People didn’t see this game, proclaim it was awful and give up games entirely. Its overproduction was one of several things that lead to it, but that’s about it.

That said, the game is pretty awful.

Considering the restrictive contract with the game, which only gave the developers six weeks to finish the game (when Atari games usually needed three to four months), it isn’t that bad. Even the game’s developer, Howard Scott Warshaw, believed he made a good game for the time he was allotted.
So if we’re going to blame something for the video game crash, let’s blame Spielberg, for being a greedy bastard. He only gave them six weeks because he wanted it out by Christmas, and he had them produce six million copies, when they usually only produced around 400,000.

its ofc fine to have your own opinion about everything, but if you cant see that this game is fucking hilariously bad, and a pain in the ass u have a serious problem. Its prolly THE game that could make yourself blow your head off.. or claw your own eyes out becouse its so bad.

as for Noah – Spoony. I can only salute him. Under the pain he’s in, he chooses to make a review about the worst game ever made. U R ZHE BEST SPOONY

Why does someone always say this game was great?
Why would you want to spend time with a shit game just to say your good at it?
As usual Spoony you are the Bees Knees.Great Review. Shit Game.

This game was so bad i couldnt even finish the review!

This game was so bad i couldnt even finish the review!

I see a lot of replies to my comment and a lot of borderline insults, but no real arguments.

If you can’t grasp the concept that you’re supposed to remain floating until you clear the hole before you drop down, you suck at video games. That’s the end. I am sorry.

This game also had an ending, and was in fact one of the first games to even have that! It also had an alternate ending, which is what the flower is for.

For people complaining about bad graphics: It’s the atari 2600, dudes.

One bad game cannot cause an entire industry to crash. But let’s just say it caused Atari to fail – what about the other companies it was competing with? They would stand to gain, not fail, at the elimination of a competator.

The first people I’ve seen bitchin’ about this game were idiot 12-year olds, and that should tell you all you need to know.

Spoony even underlined that during this review he

1) Wasn’t using even half of the game’s functions. For example, you can eat the candy for health. You can also dash.

2) Was in severe pain and didn’t care enough to give the game a serious review.

to be fair, there IS some games out there that is worst than this…

Sure, E.T was bad, but it was made by one guy, had lot of restriction due to the ATARI thingy that was pretty weak back then, and it CAN be finished, if done correctly (a guy on youtube did it)
It seems to me that Spoony felt into the E.T bashing hype with this one^^.
As for its oponent, well, dirty dancing is one of them of course (released in 2007 guys…) or the not so well known but terribly awful Big Rigs…

But IMO, the worst game ever is, by far, action 52 on the SNES (or its pathetic sequel, cheetahmen 2).Check out the wikipedia pages, some facts are hilarious! (like, a promotion of a 104000$ prize if someone beat the level 5 of one game, yet such game appeared to always crash at level 3…) I would really love to see spoony reviews this one (even with emulation, he used it here!^^) but eh :P.

Dude… just watching the intro I was in shock. I had all of my wisdom teeth extracted at once this summer and for the next few days, you could not have gotten me out of bed for ANYTHING. Even after watching the review and being fully entertained, I just can’t get over it. Kudos to you, that is some serious dedication.

Guys are pussy. Girls get their wisdom teeth out and they sleep it off and go back to life. God my boyfriend was out of composition for a damn week, what is wrong with you guys! You should have played a more trippy game, it might have been more fun, but then again, if you couldn’t finish E.T. I don’t really know what game you could.

Argh! You’re right, I can’t stop thinking about your sexy body in those blue briefs! Unless you can come to the East Coast, I’ll have to settle for less.

Don’t worry Julia, you are not alone.

The thought of playing this game causes me pain, I can’t even imagine having to play it in the state you were in. You’re too good to us fans, thank you.

i feel so bad for you,just playing that…thing is bad enough.

Baane, the floating mechanic is so broken that you’ll randomly drop to the bottom of the pit anyway regardless of whether you hold the float button or not. And if you DO clear the hole you’ll sometimes drop down anyway because the collision detection is so badly conceived. So holding the float button matters little in this case, does it? And even if the floating wasn’t so broken, the number of pits you have to fall into with the small chance that it’ll contain a phone piece, then sloooooooowly climbing back up repeatedly, having scientists that take you away several screens below that do nothing besides annoy and inconvenience, and FBI agents who randomly pop up on the screen to take your things away only to repeat the slogging process all over again are hardly the marks of a “very good” game. So, judging by your lack of standards when it comes to anything, do you think that Superman 64 and AD&D: Heroes of the Lance are “solid” games, that Uwe Boll is an “above par” director, and that a pile of dog shit served on a platter made of dried cow pie and roadkill is “delectable cuisine”? Or is it that you have to pretend to enjoy widely, and deservedly, derided crap and then belittle other people who have something resembling common sense to feel as though you are “above” the hoi polloi who just don’t “get it” like you do? Take your mindless bitch-fits to a site that deserves it, like 4chan or Encyclopedia Dramatica, not a hard-working ‘Net-ertainer like Spoony. Or just swallow the stuff under the sink. Either way works!

The pillars icon makes the humans go away. If you call elliot and he shows up he is suppose to stay on the screen and keep the bad humans away. the game only allows one human on the screen. The game was frustrating, terrible and impossible with agent pedophile constantly stealing your parts. I had this game and eventually managed to finish it on ‘hard’ but it wasn’t any fun to play.

Wow. This was not worth it on you’re part. We’re not worth it. But what kind of jackass am i for complaining. Thanks for helping me NOT even consider picking this game up IF SOME1 PAYS ME. lol i could make this game in paint.

Good opening (reference to Apocalypse Now). But yea- had my wisdom teeth pulled out at once- that goodness it was springbreak- I just stayed at home and waited it out, through all the bleeding, pain…and stuff. But no E.T. Had I been forced to play the game until I won, only to replay it until my full recovery, i would have gouged my eyes out….or something.
As for Noah w/out his shirt…(or pants)……

This whole video was a little something about fan-service, wasn’t it? =D

Didn’t you know ? The FBI agent is a special agent of the Circuit City Division!

To say “I feel your pain” would detract from the obvious Hell you put yourself through to review this game for your adoring public. I can only salute your sacrifice. And applaud the Apocalypse Now reference, of course.

first off, OUCH about the wisdom teeth. I recently had my wisdom teeth surgery 2 weeks ago, so I know how it feels… but you made a good use of the Apocalypse Now reference XD

man the stuff you do for your fans o___o that’s dedication right there. you actually sound pretty good to be in so much pain. ..and wtf was up with that game…..

thank you for this review because I’ve always wondered what was up with the game that was so bad that they buried it in New Mexico. Now I know…..the horror….the HORROR!!

Spoony, you should go on pain meds more often because that opening was pure unmitigated fucking genius. Shot for shot that was perfect and the voice over hit it right on the head. It was nice seeing a more understated side of you too

Dammit, Spoony, that little intro almost made me cry. You looked so stoned! It triggered this weird-o instinct in me to go make you feel better until you stopped playing that depressing music and stopped staring into space. Bwah.

And your voice during the review, it’s so… meh. Don’t feel bad, Spoony! Don’t be stoned! It depresses me out. :(

All the same, I’m so glad you reviewed this thing. Piece of crap, indeed. Thank you for playing it so I’ll never have to.

Wow…it must’ve sucked making this video. I’ve had teeth out before, so I kinda know a tiny bit how you must’ve felt. Poor you, especially with such a shitty game to review at the time.

Though it was quite nice seeing you in just underwear. :3

You should just look for the question mark, not just go pit to pit. The candy gives you extra points when you win. This is a good game if you learn to play very well. Watch this video of this guy who actually knows how to play this http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hxmgr2fFAuI&feature=related. There is not an ending to this game when you nwin you start again to get the highest amount of points possible. The flower just gives you extra points. THIS IS ONE OF MY FAVORITE GAMES AND I AM 13 WHICH MAKES IT HARD TO APPRECIATE ATARI!!!

I actually kind of like this game, too. There are worse games than this on the 2600, for example the Pac-Man port. But then again I’ve never played it in massive amounts of mouth pain.

Ok, Apocalypse Now reference WIN, HOLY SHIT. And… uhhh… you in your underwear win ;)

Blood and epic pain are the only things not win =( But obviously you’ve long since recovered =P

Apocalypse opening was cool but a lil long. and this has to be your most miserable review evar. please don’t torture yourself ever again. this was painful, lol.

The guy that looks like your grandma doesn’t take away your stuff does he? Well if you are getting chased by the FBI Agent then the best way to elude him might be to try and find the orderly guy and have him take you away. But then again I don’t know if the FBI guy can still take your shit when you’ve captured by the orderly.

Actually ET looks pretty grand and complex compared the Atari games I had. Ever play Ocean City Defender? You just shoot stuff. That’s it. In ET you can run? You can teleport? Collect items? Get resurected? THERE IS AN ENDING YOU CAN WATCH??? Wow. All the Atari games I remember had none of those options. Hmm…I think people are very wrong about this being the worst game

(You could have tried the teleport thing both to escape AND to save steps. More importantly, if you are down to less than 2k life, why not just reset since you won’t win this time anyway? I wonder: instead of falling into the pit 5 times in a row, could you just wait there and telepot to the next screen when an arrow pops up?)

God man… I’m surprised you didn’t regress into the mental state of a Rock… That game nearly broke my sanity in the first two minutes of playtime… Hardcore man… That’s all I can say…

I also Own this game, And Superman 64… Yeah, But I have Games Like Zelda OoT and The Original final fantasy to keep them at bay…

Oh I have a one word review of ET: DEMON!!!!!!

Yeah… there needs to be underwear reviews NOT completely associated with painful experiences.
(Like Benzaie’s strip in the Phantasmagoria review.)

“Girl Gamers” may be rare- but obviously game reviewer fangirls are not.

And now for why I’m here. I’m posting this because I didn’t see anyone who posted something along these lines. (No, I didn’t go through all of the Comments. I don’t have THAT much time on hand.)

From my understanding, an Atari game took about six months to complete in it’s entirety. And it’s been claimed that the team that made this game was only given about 3-4 months to design, program, and create, just so it could coincide more with the movie release. Perhaps more people should consider this fact before ultimately declaring this the worst game of all time. These people honestly tried to make something from this.

Now then, fans, go back to picking on LJN, damnit! THAT’S the company who has caused many of us so much grief and pain! Friday the 13th, Nightmare on Elm Street, two x-Men games, and god knows how many other liscenced titles.

That’s all from me. If you want to argue with me over this, go ahead and send me an e-mail, or a comment on my site. I’ll probably appear again some day, so keep an eye out.

Lee: The circumstance of the developers doesn’t make the game better or worse. We judge it on its own merits, of which it has fairly few. If a mentally deranged programmer hacks out a game that is so bad, people generally commit suicide five minutes after playing, i won’t excuse the game because i feel sorry for the developer–he can’t help he’s deranged and makes psychotic pieces of art.

Sure, there are worse games, but i think because of the licensing and mass production issues, this game is given special attention.

To get out of the holes you hold the fly button until you clear the gap, then drop down.

It’s not that hard.

Seriously.

This is just another game that gets a bad rap because some 16 year old on youtube started a bandwagon of ignorance.

The Apocalypse Now scenes and quotes – awesome!!!

I’m having mixed feelings about this review. I want to rock you to sleep and sex you up at the same time. Damn.

I usually defend this title, because it seems to me that it gets way too much crap from people, and most of them didn't even played it but instead just follow the word of mouth about it being bad and how there were many cartridges that were buried in a field and so on.

I played this game when I was about 10 years old, give or take a few years. I had no problem beating it, figuring out what most things meant and did, and not only was I just a little kid but also I had no internet to give me tips and I didn't speak English at the time (it is my second language now) so the instruction manual made little sense to me and got almost no help from it.

I don't mention all that to somehow boast on the internetz about my gaming abilities, but to point out that this game isn't really the impossible to beat, frustrating pile of crap people make it out to be. I had all kinds of Atari games in my collection and I can tell you that there were many worse games for the system, and this is one of the games I had that I actually liked. I think that the fact that I never heard about the buried cartridges and most people's opinions about the game when I played it helped me create my own opinion of it.

With that said, good job in your reviews, and way to stay tough and make that much effort to keep the fans of your videos happy.

Can't be as bad as Raiders of the Lost Ark for the Atari…

Please do interpretive dance in your underthings more often.

This is one of my favorite videos of yours, ever. It's exemplary of your hilarity.

WTF DID I JUST WATCH.

I am so confused.

Man, I loved that little spaz attack you had at the end.
That was funny.

I didn't know it was possible not to like E.T. I thought it was like breathing: It's just something you have to do to survive.

3 years after the fact, I must applaud your commitment to reviews oh spoony one! And having been in… let's just say a fair amount of pain, and having had to take… let's just say a fair amount of painkillers, I can sympathise. Honestly it really sucks. It's even worse when the pain wakes you up every single fucking night and you walk around like a zombie because god forbid you can sleep for 3 hours straight…

//end vent.

And yes, this game sucks. Nice apocalypse now reference.

Hey spoony, I'm gonna have my wisdom teeth out (all 6 of them… gotta love living near a nuclear power plant). You can bet I'll watch apocalypse now and play some ET.

Another sad reminder of a shitty game from my childhood.
I’m sorry you did this while in pain, I’m too familure with that.
Had my wisdom teeth removed when I was a teen, that really hurt.
Thanks again anyway.

Foreshadowing?

Hey Spoony,

Just recently found your site via tvtropes.

As it happens, I used to play this game at a friend’s house and win it when I was like eight. You may not have realized this, but the Atari has two difficulty toggle switches. As I recall, one of them turns the FBI agent on and off, and the other one turns the scientist on and off. You turn them both off, and you can actually finish the game and see the ending. So weirdly enough, I actually remember the game being slightly fun. I occasionally tried turning on the switches, quickly realized that it sucked to have the pieces stolen, and turned them back off.

So anyway, if you ever do want to actually see the ending, just put it in easy mode.

I would be more traumatized if Fox Mulder took away my sunflower seeds D:

God I love watching all these vids at night when Im too pissed to play anymore games. I remember when they came out…havnt watched since. And Samaanthia is right…he does look uber young…makes me wonder were the past few years went.

Spoony, you…….. are a trooper. You are the greatest. And we appreciate you for this.

Ergh.. I just had my wisdom teeth out this morning.  I feel your pain, Spoony.
