Episode 113 - E.T. The Extra Terrestrial

from Afterglow - Retro Gaming Memories Hosted by Chris Leathco

Keith, host of the Main Quest Podcast, closes his episodes saying "It's OK to like a video game". I'll be putting that notion to the test as I defend E.T. for the Atari 2600, a game the internet universally despises and blames the US Video Game Crash of the 80's for. However, I feel these thoughts are entirely unfair and in this episode, I'll explain my viewpoint.
