Just in time for Christmas, we unwrap the past and take a look at one of the most infamous “event” video games ever: E.T. for the Atari 2600. Produced in such enormous quantities that even its disposal is legendary, E.T. also had a pretty sweet, if somewhat terrifying in its implications, commercial to drive sales during the 1982 holiday season.
John Hurst hosts this episode and tries to clean up before the aliens come back. Aaron Littleton co-hosts and goes to the good Arby’s.
Watch the E.T. Atari Christmas commercial here!
