Excerpt: E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial (also referred to simply as E.T.) is an adventure video game developed and published by Atari, Inc. for the Atari 2600 video game console in 1982. It is based on the film of the same name, and was designed by Howard Scott Warshaw. The objective of the game is to guide the eponymous character through various screens to collect three pieces of an interplanetary telephone that allows him to contact his home planet. With few exceptions, critics and video game enthusiasts have stated that the game was underdeveloped and rushed, while Atari thought it would achieve high sales figures based on brand loyalty to the names of Atari and E.T. Warshaw designed the game to be an innovative adaptation of the film. Negotiations to secure the rights to make the game ended in later July 1982, giving Warshaw only six weeks to develop the game in time for the 1982 Christmas holiday season. E.T. is often cited as one of the biggest commercial failures in video gaming history, as well as one of the worst video games released. The game is frequently cited as a contributing factor to Atari's massive financial losses during 1983 and 1984, and an unspecified number of unsold copies of the game are said to have contributed to the video game industry crisis of 1983. As a result of overproduction and returns, unsold cartridges were buried in a New Mexico landfill. Screenshot from one of the screens in the game. E.T. meets Elliot in a field of wells.
