Did Atari use Steven Spielberg's name on the box for E.T.? Not that he had anything to do with the actual game, but have any Steven Spielberg movies had successful games?
If not Boom Blox might suffer the Steven Spielberg curse! |
ET on the 2600 did sell well. Just not the "certifiably insanely" well that Aari prepared for; and therefore the embarrassing flop. |
Didn't they make more copies then the amount of sold Atari's or something stupid like that? |
No. There were 20 million Atari 2600's at that point (1983) and they only made 4 million ET carts. However, they did make 12 million Pac Man carts expecting it to boost Atari 2600's 10 million install base (1981). It did sell 7 million but that was no where near enough since they produced 12 million.

Ahh yeah that was the one I was thinking of! Thanks.
