Andromeda Stardust Posted October 25, 2014 Share Posted October 25, 2014 (edited) I noticed there was a GBA ET game under the glass at GameXChange. About $4.95 or $5.95 or so. I had no idea they made a "sequel" to the infamous Atari classic. Is it any good, or as abysmal as the first? I might go back and pick it up just as a curiosity.

Torr Posted October 25, 2014 Share Posted October 25, 2014 I think the VCS had a better rendition of the ET theme music than that GBA game! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Random Terrain Posted October 25, 2014 Share Posted October 25, 2014 Every time E.T. touches a human in that video, it looks like he does something naughty to them. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andromeda Stardust Posted October 25, 2014 Author Share Posted October 25, 2014 I think the VCS had a better rendition of the ET theme music than that GBA game! Definitely. I'd say that the GBA version is just as bad. It was torture just watching the video. And the final stage where you build the transmitter is so horridly broken the guy couldn't beat it within the timeframe. No pits but like the 2600 version, there's tons of aimless running around, and lots more of it! I would definitely nominate this game for an AVGN review. And that game cart can sit and rot under the glass at GXC. Even for 5 bucks it's not worth it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
carlsson Posted October 25, 2014 Share Posted October 25, 2014 Well, there is E.T. Phone Home for the Atari 8-bit computers too. Moby Games lists 9 licensed games, plus that of course there were a couple of unlicensed ones. The list on Moby might be far from complete, as it seems unlikely 14 years passed between the Atari 8-bit game and the next MS DOS game. http://www.mobygames.com/game-group/et-the-extra-terrestrial-licensees 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shinju Posted October 26, 2014 Share Posted October 26, 2014 The A8 ET was decent. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
