E.T. for Atari 2600 fixed
So it only took 31 years for a "proper" bug fixed version to emerge.
http://www.neocomputer.org/projects/et/ This "advertisement" from MAD Magazine seems appropriate in the occasion.

Nice! So were they able to preserve the agent from looking so blocky?

Thanks for posting the link, Retroplay. That was a very interesting read indeed.

But in the course of playing the game I doubt whether it would be very noticeable anyway. |

Well I was confused as in the text it said that they were able to preserve the sprite but had to imit the hair color. And in playing the game the agent looks like the one on the left... very confusing text.

Those were the better days. Mere instructions actually lead to whole changes in behavior in the game.

Alas they will probably be empty husks without the actual chip in them
