Adventure (Atari 2600) Level 1 play through
The player's goal is simply to find the enchanted chalice and return it to the gold castle. The player character, represented by a square, explores a multi-screen landscape containing castles, mazes, and various rooms. Hidden throughout the world are a sword, keys to unlock each of the three castles (gold, black, and white), a magic bridge which allows the player to travel through a wall, and a magnet which will pull any of these objects toward it.
Roaming the world are three dragons:
Yorgle, the yellow dragon: He is afraid of the golden key and will run away from it. He guards the chalice when he can find it; otherwise he wanders around or helps the other dragons guard their possessions.
Grundle, the green dragon: He guards the magnet, the bridge, the black key, and the chalice.
Rhindle, the red dragon: He is the fastest of the three and the most aggressive. He guards the white key and chalice.
Here the player (top right) is carrying the Sword, and Rhindle (middle) is guarding the chalice (left).
A dragon can be "killed" by touching it with the sword. If the console's right difficulty switch is in the "A" position, the dragons will run away when they see the sword.
When a dragon touches the player, it will "strike" (remaining motionless for a moment with its mouth open, waiting for a shorter time if the console's left difficulty switch is in the "A" position) and then "swallow" the player, who becomes trapped in the dragon's belly. While the dragon's mouth is opened, it cannot be killed.
A black bat flies around randomly, occasionally picking up or dropping objects (including live or dead dragons). The bat can steal the player's sword and give him a live dragon in return, or vice-versa. The player can catch the bat and carry it around. The bat continues to fly even after the player has been killed, and occasionally the bat will pick up the dragon whose stomach contains the player, giving the player a whirlwind tour of the Adventure universe. The player can trap the bat inside a castle; this works best with the gold castle, since it has only one room and (provided the player has emptied it beforehand) the bat will, if it is flying upwards (straight up or diagonally up-right or up-left), fly around endlessly in the room and will not leave the castle. If the player enters with another item, the bat will change direction to grab the new item and usually end up leaving the castle. The bat's name was intended to be Knubberrub, but that name never made it into the manual.[7]
There are three different games available via the Game Select switch:
Game 1 is a simplified version of the game and does not have the red dragon, the bat, the catacombs, the white castle, or the maze inside the black castle.
Game 2 is the full version, having all the features described. The location of the objects at the start of a new game is always the same and because of this known initial state, this is the easiest game to use to find the Easter egg.
Game 3 is just like Game 2; however, the initial locations of the objects are pseudo-randomized, providing a different game each time. Because of this, the game could be easier or harder to solve (occasionally impossible, due to a bug in the item-placement routine that sometimes locks the gold key inside the gold castle). Due to the unpredictable placement of the items, it is more difficult to secure the bat and locate the items needed to find the Easter egg (though the location of the dot is consistent).
When a player is eaten by a dragon, he does not necessarily have to start over. Hitting the "Game Reset" switch resurrects the player back at the gold castle and resurrects any killed dragons; however, the objects all remain where they were at the time of the player's death. This could be thought of as one of the earliest usages of the "continue game" feature, which is now prevalent in most video games. Hitting "Game Select" after death returns the game to the game select screen and an entirely new game can be played.

This game is pretty fun! You just need to learn how to play the game and some secrets to get rid of the people chasing you.
So what game will be the one to top off concord 💀💀💀
how to play the game
How is it possible that such simple game had as big impact on gaming industry? 💀
Still better than Concord.😄
I'm here because of Concord - E.T. isn't the reigning king anymore.
Today September 3 of 2024 ET has been dethroned as the worst game of all time by Sony Concord. Now ET can rest in peace.
Yup. Came here to pay my respects 🔥
Indeed!
There wasn't many games back then...this is one of the first games I ever played
World record for being the worst game
Not anymore
Watching this because of Dustborn…
Me too. Dustborn and Concord.
Who else came here to see if this game is even playable despite what the urban legends say?
I had this game. When I'd call for Elliott, I'd keep walking and have him chase me. Lol
0:26 okay there's one 1:01 two 1:34 three All right I see how this game works you have to collect three telephone pieces and then your phone home seems easy as pie
I don’t care what anybody says. I freakin loved this game as a kid and was able to beat it. Played it repeatedly
I enjoy this game! In my opinion E.T. For Atari is the most underrated game ever! Because this game has really interesting mechanics and ideas for gameplay ( that’s only on Atari 2600!!!) Besides, this game was made for five weeks!!!
In 1982, the same year the movie was release, they had five weeks to push out this game. This is equivalent to a forcing a woman to push out a fetus in a few weeks.
Id rather play this game than the new modern warfare reboots
its not bad for that time
As a wise half demon devil hunter once said: "What the hell is this"
1983 Snort some coke Play ET Snort some coke Play ET
The graphic is ten outta ten👍
This game would be horrible even if you made it during the Roman Empire.
What twomad saw
Kids these days want all these fancy graphics and sprites in their games...
I had the strangest dream last night. Adventure was on in the background of whatever I was doing and some kids were playing it on a big TV. I told them about the secret through the "fake" wall. Then they got there and we found an entirely new area where all the walls looked like a combination of when the game is won and the flashing chalice. All the backgrounds were completely black and not colored. Crazy. And I have neither played this game nor thought about it in years.
2:24 Wow, it even has voice acting? Pretty high tech for 1983.
lol
Atari went bankrupt thanks to this game
almost like the legion of Zelda.
I cannot figure out what the game is trying to show us...
This was in fact the worst game ever created. I still remember because I would just fall into a pit, levitate out, then just get captured by the fed.
What in the fuck did i just watch
Yep! Play it without all the government figures trying to catch you and figure out the "getting out of the pits" mechanic, and the game was simple! I could beat this game every time I played it!
i had this when i was 5, fell in the pit had no idea how to get out, and that was the end of that game for me, no idea what i was supposed to do other than walk around and stretch ET's neck
I want money money back just watching this
Are you planning to make more videos?
Who is watching in 2024?
Catastrophique
"Found this buried in the New Mexico desert"
Chad Bergström: Nope Nope Nope Nope Nope Nope Nope Nope Nope Nope Nope!!!!!
2024 GOTY
I thought the dragon looked more like a sick duck lol
5 weeks to make a game in an era is insane
nice game bro can i buy it on steam
no way this game can be worse than siege
Все еще лучше, чем Смута
Jogava no Super Game Cce. Muitos anos depois, Baixei no meu Celular. Zerar o Primeiro Nível é uma coisa, quero ver Zerar o Segundo
What a s ht game!
Hmmm
Wow, never thought I'd see a game where Pong looks way more fun.
Stretched out to widescreen… 👎🏻
Better graphics than Adventure.
