Thanks for the input guys - the final revision will get it to the place some of y'all are describing, and we're fortunate to have gotten some backers from this actual thread, which is cool. Halfway to the goal! The number of hits to the page has also been staggering. Going to lock the thread...

No need to hate. Took a look at your site - your art looks good. Like the Mega Man piece and the Cloud 9 one reminds me a lot of BioShock Infinite. To be fair to our artist, who is gainfully employed for a video game studio as an illustrator, he's working on finishing the piece (with the...

Appreciate that. My update tomorrow to the Kickstarter page will likely address some of this debate!

LOL, might've spoken too soon. Thanks Bobphone!

Simmias we'll have to agree to disagree. I am old enough to remember deep discounting but just barely. You've got some good points, we just disagree on the main conclusion. The E.T. page with the reviews and emulation is quality. Thanks for posting. Didn't expect this thread to make it this...

When an industry grows as quickly as the video game industry has, nuances like what you're talking about get dumbed way down for mass consumption. Sure, you can make those types of distinctions, but most people don't make it that far into the logic. Labeling something "worst of all time" is...

Interesting point about post-release patching. Totally agree developers are coming to take this for granted, when they shouldn't. You're definitely right that despite the incredible loss E.T. created for Atari and the industry, somehow this cycle of "too little time, rush job, sales implosion...

Thanks...? We've had an explosion of feedback since taking the Kickstarter live, fortunately most of it positive. We do have one revision to the art coming, but we're closing in on 50% of our goal in just a day. That's a good thing! It's a high-quality piece and the first of many games we'll...

Again: Wii shovelware didn't bring down an industry. E.T. did. That is the argument. Paradoxically, that makes me want to play E.T. far more than Wii shovelware. But still.

E.T. had the misfortune of bringing down an industry giant when it failed. The lore behind the game, in addition to its unplayability and confused approach, is why most consider it the worst game of all time. There's always going to be a discussion here. Can't believe Krull was brought up...

Deleted main post and moved - thanks.

Hey CAGs! A lot of you have an interest in video game history and retro gaming in general, so thought we would post this here. This is a Kickstarter project involving the worst game of all time: E.T. The Extra-Terrestrial for the Atari 2600. Check out the Kickstarter here...

Thanks Vigilante. Will move in just a few minutes. Definitely not a deal, as it is pricey as someone pointed out, but did think I saw other Kickstarters in the main forum from time to time. Thanks. Will delete once moved.

E.T. is the consensus worst game of all time, but we'd love to hear of other terrible ones as we'll end up roasting plenty of them with various merchandise. It's certainly the worst one I've ever played. Not "worse than expectations," but just the most purely unplayable game around. I'm an...
