Unfortunately, it just doesn't hold my attention too long as I found the gameplay rather slow and unexciting. Once you figure out how to play, the game at least makes some sense and can be completed. With multiple skill levels and randomized locations for parts you need to find, there's some replay value.Īdventure style games are tough to make work with just a joystick and one button figuring the game out isn't particularly intuitive and without the instruction manual it's easy to wander about with no idea what's going on. Sound effects are ok, and include a decent rendition of the E.T. logo and drawing, and in game graphics are solid with no flickering sprites, plenty of color, and varied screens which really weren't out of line with other 19 games. The title screen looks quite good with the E.T. Considering that programmer Howard Scott Warshaw completed this game in about 5-6 weeks (at the time, games usually took at least 6 months), it's amazing the game was finished at all let alone as good as it is.
