| The man who made 'the worst video game in history' |

| SlammedNiss:
I started thinking. Anybody who thinks E.T. is the worst video game ever has never played Superman on N64. That game is horrendous and I'd much rather play thru E.T. again than play 5 minutes of Superman. |

The game was good? The game gets bashed more than it should? --- End quote --- I don't really have an opinion on the game. I agree it looks pretty bad from the screenshots, but I've never actually played it. I was simply responding to Howard's assertion (which he's now backtracked on) that programming in assembly language is essentially the same as programming in any other computer language, once you're familiar with it. It was such a ludicrous thing to say that I couldn't let it go unchallenged. I think Arks point was in response to someone saying that Kids are pumping out better iPhone games today, in less time. However, for the reasons already given, it's simply not a fair comparison. --- End quote --- Howard gotta Howard He is a genius that has added tons of software contributions to this hobby, and he can bowl a perfect game with the provided alley balls if you know what I'm sayin.... |

Once it was explained to me how to play the game, it was actually quite fun. Yes, the hit detection is horrible, but it really is kind of a challenge to find the missing phone parts and go home. So I don't think it's that bad of a game, I've certainly played worse. The guy that created Custer's Revenge wants to fist fight this guy for the worst game title. |

So, again, it was a combination of things that bestow the title on E.T. There are quite a few bad games out there. Yes, we all agree on that. Looking forward to revisiting this topic again in six months. |
