Creator of Atari's E.T. Game Tells the Story of the Worst Video Game Ever

Here's a fun little animated video from Great Big Story, who spoke with Howard Scott Warshaw and asked him to tell the story of how he created E.T.: The Extra-Terrestrial for the Atari, which is a game that's been referred to as the worst video game in the history of the medium. That's a bold claim, but if you've played it, you'll know where the griping comes from. XBox produced a documentary about the game, but if you've never seen that, this is a nice primer, and you're getting the info straight from the horse's mouth.

The video game 'E.T, The Extraterrestrial' for Atari 2600 is considered one of the biggest flops in gaming history. Yet the game's designer, Howard Scott Warshaw, says he couldn't be prouder of that honor. This is the story of an awesomely bad video game. This Great Big Story was inspired by Genesis.
