@viper-----> have you re-played all those games again? I know you have played all those games before, but can you take to play those games again after the improvement thats done since 20 years? I know, ET sucks in atari 2600 generation but after 20 years and since Im not in your generation, most of those games feel or played no different it doesnt matter if it have good ratings before most of those games for me was the same.
So Im treating ET the same way, yeah, finding the parts of the spaceship was frustrating but atleast the gameplay was different than shooting blocky centipede and racing with time the same track over and over again.
end of core gaming days prediction:
E3 2006-The beginning of the end. Wii introduced
E3 2008- Armageddon. Wii motion plus introduced. Wii Music. Reggie says Animal crossing was a core game. Massive disappointment. many Wii core gamers selling their Wii.
E3 2010- Tape runs out
