Storytime With Go Fuck Yourself

yah. I actually never had a problem with E.T. o.O I don't know what all the fuss was, really. I mean, it's an ATARI game? How close tot he original were they expecting it to be?

hopefully you learned to never bet against things being buried in the desert. That's a life lesson.

The game itself was and still is horrible.

And I cant believe it.Bit,I guess it will be a life-lesson....I think

They buried them there because they had thousands upon thousands of copies and nowhere else to put them.

Look up the great video game crash sometime. ;P

Atari certainly was an oddball of a game company to say the least. They did amazing things and weird as hell things.

Like for instance of an amazing thing, before the North American Video Game Crash of 1983 there was a massive contest with the Sword Quest games in which you can get REAL treasures and prizes made of real gold and jewels, a Crown, a Philosopher Stone, a Talisman, a Chalice, and a real sword. However, as the Crash was taking effect here, the contest was canceled and only the Talisman and Chalice were awarded to winners. But the winner of the Talisman melted it down for scrap metal purposes and sold it to a coin dealer for 15,000 when the talisman was valued at 25,000 on it's own, at least at the time it was awarded anyway.

As for a weird as hell thing, Atari made a console known as the Atari Jaguar and it flopped so badly, especially the Jaguar CD that literally made the console look like a toilet. So then Atari donated the consoles to dentists and they use them, the shell of it anyway, as equipment to take a picture of your mouth. If I ever go to a dentist and they pull out the Atari Jaguar, I am SO out of there.

Here's a story

That wasn't a very good story " title="no no.." />

The buildup was good, but the climax wasn't satisfying at all.

*raises hands up defensively* Alright fine I will leave, just thought I would go into how Atari is an oddball before and after theh 1983 video crash. Wasn't trying to even tell a good bedtime story. " title="Rolling Eyes" />
