It's not as bad as people say (specially by the standards in Atari games), but was pretty terrible anyway. The biggest gripe is that the collision that determines if you will fall in a hole is messed up (if a single pixel on your character touches a single pixel in a hole, you fall, even if it's the top of your head). Game is boring, graphics are lame even for Atari and the sound is a pain.

But I've already played worse stuff. Dark Castle on Genesis was definitively worse than ET. Superman 64 was worse too. When you understand how the ET bugs work, it's almost playable. The other two are beyond human understanding.

Bolded = a summation of everything on the 2600. Nostalgia keeps it alive but nothing on it holds up. Superman 64 is probably the true worst game ever made.


Some Atari games had interesting gameplays. Yar's Revenge is imaginative and complex, but games like that were a small portion. Usually gameplay is a thing that won't age well.
