E.T is an aweful game, or at least it was before I modified it to become a good game. (Not great, but not aweful) If these mods were released as the original game, it would not be declared as the worst game of all time!

Shortly before its 40th anniversary, you took it, someone took the trouble to complete the game, fixing all its bugs, glitches and completing the graphics. I am surprised that this has not transpired on the news pages. There is involuntary poetry
if it made the news, would inspire more creators to fix broken games :)
@@RetroCheats that would actually be kind of beautiful, taking bad, meh or broken games with good potential to make them good, or at least functional and enjoyable.
Pair this romhack with Dennis Debro's Pacman
If only you had a time machine to fix it the game would have success than failure, but i think it might create a butterfly effect that the modern consoles will not be on top and atari would still be making consoles.
Nintendo would still be a thing and most likely be on top. When Sony would enter the market, would Atari modernize and basically become Xbox, or would they only focus on Nintendo.
I think Sony & Nintendo would still have their fall out.
This game did not cause the gaming industry to crash. It was the enormous amount of shovelware being put out that ruined the game industry. This game was one of a few that dared to try things console games weren't really doing at the time. Games like Raiders of the Lost Ark, Haunted House, Superman, Adventure and Dragonstomper were some of the only others. If ET came out for the NES it most definitely would have been better implemented but it was too ambitious for the system and too outside the box for most kids playing games at the time.
@@RetroCheats Actually, Sega and Nintendo were the real original rivals. Sony didn't come into the game industry until 1995.
I doubt history would change that much.
It was lack of quality control and overabundance of games that caused the crash to occur.
Why are you afraid......RETRO GAMING IS THE BEST
I guess there are players who don't know you can press Fire while E.T. is falling down and make him float.
WOW, first time I ever seen someone defend E.T.
I would love to hear your full opinion on this game.
The most annoying part about the game is how you can fall down holes so easily.
this game was truly the culmination of "quantity over quality", truly the dark age of video game.
so true
More people who don't like reading manuals.
@@ultrairrelevantnobody1862 exactly I remember as a kid not having trouble playing and beating e.t. first thing I did was read the manual it wasn't hard at all and there was no used game stores selling the game with no manuals back then gamers were either lazy or only wanted simple casual games
ET was never bad. It's a cool game.
Pro tip: release the button to not fall again
I'm sure with the proper programming and Atari not forcing the guy to bumrush it would have made ET a well-remembered classic.
Could say that about any game. People these days can still program with the atari limitations if they want to try to make a good E.T game
*sniff* Just like the movie!...
Except not really 😅 still, great job with the hack! If more people took their time to 'fix' bad or broken games, we'd have one hell of a retro library!
Great job! Now it's more enjoyable
what are the symbols at the top of the screen?
info about where to go.. let's you know that there's an item on screen.
It'd be great if Atari would recharge this game to make it actual finished game etc. I think Atari is in a very unique position. They have the ability to create sequels to any of the games in there library to represent every console generation (of course I'm referring mostly towards the generations inwhich Atari had no console). They should also perfect every controller they released, taking care of past issues. If they could create at least one modern game they could create prequals for each generation as well. An exclusive contract of some sort with Google stadia would be a win. Last but not least the court case they lost which allowed the other company to play their games. We'll pay back should be a must. Hopefully creating a new paralleled console war, possibly? It be awesome if it happens, time will tell!

(Info Video if you want to know some of the emulators I use)
how can E. T. fly when he raises his neck (yes i was a 2000 kid and so i never watched the movie E. T. the extra terrestrial)?
I don't think he ever flew by raising his neck.. but he did make a bike fly.. just search "ET flies" or something to see how they do it in the movie.
He had very powerful telekinesis.
He doesn't fly he levitate
@@avalond1193 oh
Much better
@@seu-pai-sou-eu no u
It might be just me but I think it isn’t that bad of a game I mean it’s frustrating but it’s not bad I kinda like it when I first beat it was so excited and that fact it was made in like 6 weeks is actually amazing with the amount of time given it’s a fully functional game with no real game breaking glitches at least I haven’t found any
It's popularity is what made it seem worse. There's way worse games then this, but way less popular.
Nice game, but I don't have that big imagination, and I haven't watched the movie
game has nothing to do with the movie other then an alien trying to call home ;) ET doesn't even float in the movie
I don't even know what E.T is really, yeah it's an alien but nothing else to say about this
@@RetroCheats So you've never actually seen the movie, have you? ET not only made himself fly but a group of 6 or so kids on bicycles as well.
I seen the movie but it's been many many years!
@@RetroCheats Come on, that was one of the biggest scenes in the movie! That's like saying you watched Star Wars but don't remember the Death Star exploding.
Nice fixes! I'm sure the original would have been a much better game if Howard Scott Warshaw had had more than about 5 weeks to program it (average 2600 game development time was 3 to 6 months). Still, I'm sure HSW would be glad to see these improvements.
The reason why the ET game was bad is because the creator didn't have enough time to develop
Ga,es back then take 6 months to develop but ET had a rushed 5 weeks
yep, bad games usually are the fault of a company.
The one thing I would say is when you run it should take power away, same with floating. That's still power consumption. Now walking I don't see a reason to take power away. That's the only suggestion I have, otherwise excellent mods!
Found the data online, so not sure how to actually mod this game normally
I Hate The Way How The Noise When He Walks
not many sound effects they could of used. maybe they just made the volume too high.
So u hate the walking noise
That reminds me of Phil & Lil from "The Rugrats Movie" when phil said dil's hiccups is starting to annoy him
Clicka click
0:30 HEY THATS NOT A BUG
not everything is a bug.. I made improvements in the game.
Oh ok
So which of the 4 games are which?
Is there a scientist? Is there a FBI? Just do all combinations possible and you got each game mode.
@@RetroCheats so 3 is easy, 4 is scientist looks like. Neat
Frankly the falling into whole was the biggest problem with it. Other than that it wasn't any worse than the Indiana Jones game for the Atari 2600. Which was also cryptic as fuck and needed the instructions to figure out.
another issue was, arcades offered better experiences in every way.
arreglaste el juego, si hubiese salido así en su tiempo hubiera pasado lo mismo?
With my fixes, it go from "WORST game of all-time" to "MOST disappointing game of all-time".
It only got this due to E.T being so popular of a movie.
ET wasn't really a bad game per say, I mean it definitely had it's faults, but most people just didn't read the manual that came with the game. Back in those days reading the manual for the games was needed or you'll run into masses thinking it was a bad game because they couldn't get anywhere with it. There is a whole slew of games for the VCS/2600 that was far far far worse than what ET was. What really contributed to the USA game crash was all the clones and actual bad games that flooded the market.
to be honest, it was an aweful game at the time.. as time went on, developers created much worse games.. so E.T became less aweful :)
@@RetroCheats I will agree to disagree
Why wasn't E.T. just a kind of BMX bike riding game???
that be kind of cool.. just needed a float/fly ability.. and maybe jumping over trucks.
Neat!
An alternate universe where this game was considered to be the best game of all time
Gracias por esta joya, padre.
np
Why does E.T. make a clip cloppity sound when he walks???
Is he a horse??
maybe he's a alien horse
there is no reason for reeses pieces in this game.... ET is not supposed to live forever on earth, thats why he loses life....
It was in the movie, so they had to feature it in the game, I guess
Where's the boy and the bike to rescue you?
The boy is in the game, but not the bike.
That's how it would've looked like if they had 2 more weeks
more like if the owner gave the developer an extra 2 days, after the developer was done. as they would of had time to test, get a little feedback, and stop making it so easy to fall in the holes.
ET was never bad. It's a cool game.
It was bad, just overhyped bad.
Can you make a easy and a hard mode easy is the mode u have and the hard mode is add walking lowers hp back so it is harder to win
did the original have a hard mode? if so, it still exists.
RetroCheats not sure
RetroCheats looking at other people’s play throughs I didn’t see any hard mode or and easy mode just no mode at all
RetroCheats all I want is a option to add back loosing hp when u walk to make it a tad bit harder when u play the hacked version
RetroCheats well there r like aprently game mode like 1,2,3
y si se nota una leve mejora
yep
tendras el juego para probarlo? @@RetroCheats
@@AlaanPlacenciaTimoteo "Will you have the juice to try it?" is what it translated to. I'm not doing E.T atari again, as there is nothing new to show.
ya corregí el texto, era tendras el juego?@@RetroCheats
@@AlaanPlacenciaTimoteo I am still confused. I played a hacked version. I made the game better & played it for this video.
The whole game is a giant bug lol
How so? For a game of it's time, it's only fault was not warping you to a safe location, once you floated up out of the pit. That one little change, and they would called it a MEH game, instead of the worst game ever.
cool :)
Não adianta... o jogo continua ruim pra um boné kkkkkkkkkk
A cara para os padrões dos jogos da época se ele tivesse saindo assim eu acho que ele não seria tão fracassado.
Lol this is Baaaaad! Is that really all u do is grab the dots and the parts in pits??
yep, and then phone home. All I did was make it slightly less bad
The dots were Reese's Pieces.
What do you expect from a 38 year old game that came out for a console that was into its 5th year of life, on an 8Kb cartridge designed by 1 guy with only 1 month to produce a finished product with no audience testing?
Prefer the original.
If this game is bugfixed, has new game modes and such - it doesn't matter. E.T. for the 2600 still remains the worst game ever made on earth. When will we get finally rid of this shitty title, maybe by destroying all the cartridges sold worldwide that are still surviving to this day? I can't wait.
I didn't play this on a Cartridge XD
@@RetroCheats but I hope we will get rid of this game anyway.
I’ve played worse, far worse.
@@MovieEggman is it retro? what is it?
@usertheloset there is instead. If you look on wikipedia you'll know why it is called "The Worst Game Ever". Then I'll hope you agree with me. It IS the worst game ever.
Almost as boring as the film
Film was good BUT was a different time era, so I can understand this logic
