I played a lot ET. In Brazil it was common to find copies of the original games. Another common thing was games without manuals. At that time, with my 12 years I was able to finish the game without a manual.
Honestly, who did not like ET because it is not like challenge. The game required much more than a simple push of buttons. Like who today do not like Megaman 9 on the Wii but is entitled "HARDCORE" because playing HALO.
ET is a classic like HERO, Pitfall, Centipede, Haunted House (another very difficult game especially if played without manual), Keystone Kapers, Adventure, River Raid, Smurfs, Seaquest, Space Invaders and many others. I think ET has paid the price for being ahead of the ability of the players at that time.
