Its not that E.T. wasn't a terrible game it was the amount of hype compared to the steaming buggy pile it was. It was the first true game flop. I remember driving home with this game, think "This is going to be so rad". The same company that had put out PacMan, Centipede, etc... Only to find I had been cheated out of my childhood savings. Nothing will ever be a larger game failure than E.T. it ruined a genre.
Its only equal is the NGE in SWG. That had about the same level of disappointment, but in an MMO way. I should note that generally all my greatest game disappointments seem to revolve around Steven Spielberg. Hype is the dark side. - Bayland
