I remember getting my first ET game on the Atari 2600 (I am 25 years old). It was kind of fun, but the rest of the world hailed it as trash. Fast forward to 2002 and the 20th year celebration of the movie. New Kid Co releases 3 titles for Gameboy color. I decided to give it a try and see if I felt like a kid again. I didn't

This game has kids solving an endless barrage of unchallenging puzzled of a reform school zelda type. After 20 years I thought that this game could have been remade as an original that was fun, but it is more like the old school games like Bill and Teds Excellent adventure where you collect [stuff] and move on to the next level.

I beat this game in 3 days and returned it. I was severely disappointed. This title is an attempt to cash in on the old name and sucker parents into buying a label instead of an engaging game. Kids will love the box and hate the software.

The only good things I have to say about this game are that it had battery backup and 3 slots to save games so 3 kids can play and save progress. It also had a few rendered screen shots taken from the movie, but no motion pictures. It didn't even come close to pushing any of the gameboy colors limits.

Beware, this tat is a dragger on the pocketbook and will end up in the back of a drawer or at a 2nd hand store soon.

This game is alright-nothing more. All you do is go throught different locations collecting bottle caps and trading cards in order to exchange for parts with other kids. With your parts you can then create your communicator which lets ET phone home.

This game was fun on the first level, the City. However, on Level 2, the Forest, it became rather bad. The animals that are in various levels after the City are unavoidable! If you get near an animal it kills you! It should not be bought( I've had the thing over a year and still ain't beat it).

Excellent non-violent gaming with powerful message for children of constructive resolution
