SoundGammon Posted February 9, 2021 Share Posted February 9, 2021 New ET game idea for the 2600: ET is sent back to Earth to gather ET carts in various warehouses, find a dump truck to load them and then take them to the landfill! Has to find Elliot to help get keys for the warehouses and money to buy gas for the dump truck! 5 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

carlsson Posted February 9, 2021 Share Posted February 9, 2021 Or a light gun game where you shoot E.T. instead of ducks or bad guys. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Has to find Elliot to help get keys for the warehouses and money to buy gas for the dump truck! How about he just has to locate the mythical landfill using various gadgets and then dig it up? The game could then just be a re-skin of Raiders of the Lost Ark Edited February 9, 2021 by zzip 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JacobZu7zu7 Posted February 9, 2021 Share Posted February 9, 2021 Backwards. You MUST help E.T. find buried Atari carts out west, so they can be cleaned and enjoyed by all generations. Upon finding them, some will be taken back home as spare parts for homebrews. To be able to this, you must avoid the noids of new generations who want to break apart your classic games or E.T.! ? P.S. These noids usually WON'T have any good taste in music, films or even gaming. RUN! E.T! .... run. ? The hard work will pay off now 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I always wonder if Spielberg knew about Alien for the 2600 when he said that. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Upon arriving, he finds out his game has been unceremoniously buried in the New Mexico desert. He then leads a massive invasion force back to Earth to exact his revenge upon humanity. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jinks Posted February 10, 2021 Share Posted February 10, 2021 Funny why someone never made an ET 2 yet. At least they made a thousand pac mans hacks.. A serious ET 2 that is actually good would sell hundreds to dorks all over the world. ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

digdugnate Posted February 10, 2021 Share Posted February 10, 2021 the 994A had a Frogger clone that was never released but the ROM is available. It was pretty fun, I thought. https://www.videogamehouse.net/gamemain/cartsde/et/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm glad no E.T. games were made during the SNES era, or the N64 era. Could you imagine Super E.T. or E.T. 64? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pacman000 Posted April 9, 2021 Share Posted April 9, 2021 There was an ET game on the Game Boy Color. It's a rather standard puzzle/maze game, from what I've seen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+Stephen Posted April 9, 2021 Share Posted April 9, 2021 They should have done a cross promotion with Cheech & Chong when Still Smokin' came out in 1983. We could have then had E.T, the Extra Testicle getting high and hoovering up Reese's Pieces candies while chasing hotel maids. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
