Even the Angry Video Game Nerd said E.T. wasn’t that bad. River Raid, now that was a good VCS game.
He’s right. It just wasn’t one of those games where you can jump in without really reading the manual. And there were a few irritating glitches which some hacker recently fixed; even Howard Scott Warshaw said they improved the game.
Agreed about River Raid...always found it tough though.
