This was awesome!

I went to a local Play 'n Trade, which deals in used games from older systems as well as the games. It was fun to get to play Rampage Total Destruction (I think that's the title) on the Gamecube. Anyway, after getting done, I proceed to look at the games hoping to find Maximum Carnage on either Super Nintendo or Sega Genesis (Used to have the game, and it inspired my Carnage Tattoo.)

I didn't find it. What DID I find? E.T. for the Atari 2600, aka the worst video game EVER made. Several thousand copies are in the New Mexico Desert, but this one somehow survived. Best of all, it was 99 cents. Two things crossed my mind at this point:

1. This is the worst game EVER! Why would someone even pay 99 cents for it?

2. I HAVE to have it!

Yes, I bought E.T. for the Atari 2600, despite not even owning an Atari, for the sole purpose of being able to say I own the worst game of all time.

Funniest thing about it is that this isn't the first time I owned the game. Almost 25 years ago, I did own an Atari 2600, and one of the games I owned? Yep, E.T.!

Just wanted to share on the awesomeness of this find, and the very real possibility that I got ripped off buying it.
