E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial

Made using reconstructed source code of the original 2600 version. Contains some improvements to collision detection, bug fixes, and text for instructions to make the game more playable, but it is essentially the same game. This game is completely unofficial.

A botanist collecting plant samples from Earth is left behind when his ship must depart unexpectedly to avoid being captured by Earth scientists. He is called "E.T." by an Earth child who takes him in. E.T.'s uses a lot of energy to do most anything here on Earth. Gather 3 Reese's Pieces to restore E.T.'s energy. Collect 9 and call Elliot who will bring a piece of technology E.T. can use to make his communication device (to phone home). Unused Reese's Pieces result in bonus points when (if) E.T. departs Earth. There are 3 parts needed to make the phone home device which can also be found in wells (the pits). Earth scientists will try to capture E.T. and confine him for study. Earth's F.B.I. will try to confiscate E.T. communication device parts. The communication device will not work just anywhere. But, once activated in a suitable area, E.T. will have a limited amount of time to reach the landing site (in the forest) and rejoin his team in their space craft.
