Growing up, I didn’t have an Atari. My cousins did, so I played theirs all the time. For Christmas, they got the infamous ET for the Atari and I was so excited to check it out. Like a lot of people, my expectations were way too high. Years later, my cousins sold the Atari and all their games. However, after it was gone, my aunt found the instruction booklet for ET and gave it to me. And so, here is the complete instruction manual for ET for the Atari, because of course I held onto it. Admittedly, it doesn’t take up a lot of storage space. You’ll also see that I now own a rather moldy copy of the game itself. I’m pretty sure it didn’t come out of a landfill in Arizona, but I can’t be sure. Also, the game might have sucked, but that cover art is still worthy of framing.
