Message: [QUOTE="OpenVMS, post: 173978, member: 98480"] My cousin actually had this back in the day. Like most of the games he owned, the box and manual had been quickly discarded. I came to learn later if you read the book that you could actually figure out how to play this. However, at the time, we had no clue. Playing it went like this: [LIST] [*]Launch the game [*]Wow, cool title screen! Amazing for the 2600 [*]Start the game [*]ET is in a field with a bunch of little pits [*]Walk around, the terrible hit detection makes you fall into a pit [*]You can press a button to make ET elongate his neck, fly and rise up out of the pit [*]Some guys start chasing ET [*]Fall in the pit again [*]Run out of energy, die [*]Eject the game and play COMBAT instead [/LIST] We could never make heads or tails of it. We were used to some cryptic games on the 2600, but this was an all-new height. It was funny to watch all the stories come out years later and remember my own experiences with it. [/QUOTE]
