Title: E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial [Wikipedia] [IMDb]
Developer: Atari, Inc.
Publisher: Atari, Inc.
Designer: Howard Scott Warshaw
Platform: Atari 2600
Release: December 1982
PROMO: Collateral Cinema Movie Podcast (@CCinemaPodcast)
SHOWNOTES: It's finally time. Collateral Gaming is reviewing perhaps the most well-known video game cited as the worst of all time: 1982's E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial on the Atari 2600! But is it really deserving of that moniker? We analyze the title's infamous five-week development time; discuss the bankruptcy of Atari and subsequent video game crash of the 80s as a result of the game's commercial failure (considered one of the biggest in video game history); look back at the now-confirmed true urban legend regarding unsold cartridges secretly buried in a New Mexico landfill; and of course, talk about Angry Video Game Nerd: The Movie, which was essentially an extended AVGN review of E.T. If you enjoy this episode, let us know, and stay tuned for our two-part review on The Great Ace Attorney Chronicles very soon!

SHOWNOTES: On our first bad game review of the season, Collateral Gaming is exposing ourselves to the 1993 adult rom-com visual novel/dating sim, considered one of the worst video games of all time—Plumbers Don't Wear Ties! Made infamous by The Angry Video Game Nerd and just recently remastered for modern consoles by Limited Run Games, this obscure 3DO title hardly qualifies as a video game, and yet Ash and Beau find it uniquely endearing. So, come with us, and find out why plumbers never wear ties! And stay tuned for our next bad game review on E.T. the 1982 Atari game...

At some point in the future, we'd love to revisit this title to explore the critically acclaimed DLC expansions Hearts of Stone and Blood and Wine, but until then, stay tuned for our Game Launch episode on Final Fantasy VII Rebirth, a look at Fable II in Part 2 of our Anniversary Special (Part 1 out now), and more very soon!
