--- Quote from: ark_ader on April 09, 2015, 08:16:31 am ---I didn't know the coder for ET was the guy who coded Yars Revenge. Man, that guy got a crap deal. Try coding a game in assembler with only 4k in five weeks..... :dizzy: --- End quote --- I didn't know he was the same dude nor that he only had 5 weeks either. Five weeks is insane. I also didn't know that Spielberg approved the final version of the game. The video of him talking about the game was priceless. |

So did they fudge the legend from "millions of copies of ET under a cement slab" to "someone lowered the tailgate on their pickup truck and pushed a pile of crap onto the side of the road?" |

It was hard to tell. They found much less than the hyped "millions" but at the same time a lot more than I expected from the news reports. |

I saw this quite awhile ago and then just last week was looking for something to watch on Netflix and thought "Hey, this looks interesting!". Ten minutes in I remembered it and was surprised how forgettable it really was. Scam |

I was ok, a couple lame jokes by the guy making the film. It was interesting to learn some of the backstory of the game, and Atari in general. It was a documentary on Netflix, it's not like it's value is really worth more then what you've paid to binge watch Orange is the New Black or House of Cards. (Apparently an ArcadeSD attract screen made a cameo in the background behind one of the guys getting interviewed? did i miss that??) |
