@ACK I don't think you understand. ET was THE WORST game EVER created, and actually caused a HUGE crash in Video Game History. The only reason video games were picked back up is because Nintendo released the NES with ROB as a "toy", which became a huge hit (obviously). Imagine this, if ET hit, caused that crash, and Nintendo remained a card company, we wouldn't have video games as we know and love them today.
Yep, I knew it was true! We have a documentary on Video Game History around here somewhere that showed them loading up the cartridges and showing how horrid the game was. I don't think anyone even knew what was going on in the game... Just like Dr. Jeckel and Mr. Hyde on the NES, things just happen.
