Nice Ap. Now reference
spoony goes crazy…with fanservice
first off, OUCH about the wisdom teeth. I recently had my wisdom teeth surgery 2 weeks ago, so I know how it feels… but you made a good use of the Apocalypse Now reference XD
man the stuff you do for your fans o___o that’s dedication right there. you actually sound pretty good to be in so much pain. ..and wtf was up with that game…..
thank you for this review because I’ve always wondered what was up with the game that was so bad that they buried it in New Mexico. Now I know…..the horror….the HORROR!!
Kurtz! My Ivory, my River!
Spoony, you should go on pain meds more often because that opening was pure unmitigated fucking genius. Shot for shot that was perfect and the voice over hit it right on the head. It was nice seeing a more understated side of you too
did not notice the intro was the doors tell now i love the stoner era of music i just bought a doors ablume i do not download music lol
cocaine’s a hella of drug
Heh…I always liked this review.
Dammit, Spoony, that little intro almost made me cry. You looked so stoned! It triggered this weird-o instinct in me to go make you feel better until you stopped playing that depressing music and stopped staring into space. Bwah.
And your voice during the review, it’s so… meh. Don’t feel bad, Spoony! Don’t be stoned! It depresses me out. :(
All the same, I’m so glad you reviewed this thing. Piece of crap, indeed. Thank you for playing it so I’ll never have to.
Oh god, PLEASE get those clothes back on! You’re hot enough when you’re dressed! *utters female klingon mating sound*
Is this what happens if you stay in bat country?
10:10
Did you say “I cant remember, I’m just so stoned”?
Why are you drinking Mountain Dew when you are recovering from tooth surgery? Why would you let Mountain Dew get into the wounds in your mouth?
Something tells me it has to do with being stoned out of his gourd, as does dancing with a Wiimote and Nunchuck in one’s underwear with bloodstains on one’s chest.
Wow…it must’ve sucked making this video. I’ve had teeth out before, so I kinda know a tiny bit how you must’ve felt. Poor you, especially with such a shitty game to review at the time.
Though it was quite nice seeing you in just underwear. :3
You should just look for the question mark, not just go pit to pit. The candy gives you extra points when you win. This is a good game if you learn to play very well. Watch this video of this guy who actually knows how to play this http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hxmgr2fFAuI&feature=related. There is not an ending to this game when you nwin you start again to get the highest amount of points possible. The flower just gives you extra points. THIS IS ONE OF MY FAVORITE GAMES AND I AM 13 WHICH MAKES IT HARD TO APPRECIATE ATARI!!!
I actually kind of like this game, too. There are worse games than this on the 2600, for example the Pac-Man port. But then again I’ve never played it in massive amounts of mouth pain.
This video makes me sad, you sound so exhausted >:
This is far from the worst game ever. Ever played Action 52?
you should do more reviews in your underwear
Ok, Apocalypse Now reference WIN, HOLY SHIT. And… uhhh… you in your underwear win ;)
Blood and epic pain are the only things not win =( But obviously you’ve long since recovered =P
Apocalypse opening was cool but a lil long. and this has to be your most miserable review evar. please don’t torture yourself ever again. this was painful, lol.
The guy that looks like your grandma doesn’t take away your stuff does he? Well if you are getting chased by the FBI Agent then the best way to elude him might be to try and find the orderly guy and have him take you away. But then again I don’t know if the FBI guy can still take your shit when you’ve captured by the orderly.
Actually ET looks pretty grand and complex compared the Atari games I had. Ever play Ocean City Defender? You just shoot stuff. That’s it. In ET you can run? You can teleport? Collect items? Get resurected? THERE IS AN ENDING YOU CAN WATCH??? Wow. All the Atari games I remember had none of those options. Hmm…I think people are very wrong about this being the worst game
(You could have tried the teleport thing both to escape AND to save steps. More importantly, if you are down to less than 2k life, why not just reset since you won’t win this time anyway? I wonder: instead of falling into the pit 5 times in a row, could you just wait there and telepot to the next screen when an arrow pops up?)
God man… I’m surprised you didn’t regress into the mental state of a Rock… That game nearly broke my sanity in the first two minutes of playtime… Hardcore man… That’s all I can say…
I also Own this game, And Superman 64… Yeah, But I have Games Like Zelda OoT and The Original final fantasy to keep them at bay…
Oh I have a one word review of ET: DEMON!!!!!!
Bah! I want more underwear reviews :3
Yeah… there needs to be underwear reviews NOT completely associated with painful experiences.
(Like Benzaie’s strip in the Phantasmagoria review.)
“Girl Gamers” may be rare- but obviously game reviewer fangirls are not.
Greetings. Congrats on getting through the wisdom teeth surgury. I feel your pain and discomfort, mate.
And now for why I’m here. I’m posting this because I didn’t see anyone who posted something along these lines. (No, I didn’t go through all of the Comments. I don’t have THAT much time on hand.)
From my understanding, an Atari game took about six months to complete in it’s entirety. And it’s been claimed that the team that made this game was only given about 3-4 months to design, program, and create, just so it could coincide more with the movie release. Perhaps more people should consider this fact before ultimately declaring this the worst game of all time. These people honestly tried to make something from this.
Now then, fans, go back to picking on LJN, damnit! THAT’S the company who has caused many of us so much grief and pain! Friday the 13th, Nightmare on Elm Street, two x-Men games, and god knows how many other liscenced titles.
That’s all from me. If you want to argue with me over this, go ahead and send me an e-mail, or a comment on my site. I’ll probably appear again some day, so keep an eye out.

Lee: The circumstance of the developers doesn’t make the game better or worse. We judge it on its own merits, of which it has fairly few. If a mentally deranged programmer hacks out a game that is so bad, people generally commit suicide five minutes after playing, i won’t excuse the game because i feel sorry for the developer–he can’t help he’s deranged and makes psychotic pieces of art.
Sure, there are worse games, but i think because of the licensing and mass production issues, this game is given special attention.
